If you started solids at 4 months...

How long did you give DC just rice cereal before beginning to introduce other solids? How long before you began giving solids twice each day?

Right now we are doing one feeding of rice cereal per day.  He's doing very well with the spoon and I am just curious as to what others are doing. 

Thanks!!

    DS's pedi told us at his 4 month check-up to do a tablespoon of cereal in the am and pm and then start yellow/orange veggies at 5 months and green at 6.  We've just been following that.  At 5 months I just started introducing the veggies around lunchtime.

    I gave each cereal (and now fruit and everything we will introduce for the first time) one week to--my ped recommended 5 days in cause of allergy, but for me every week was easier so that I could remember which day I started what.  I started giving him solids twice a day from the get-go.  My ped told us to give 2-3 tablespoons at a time, instead I began with 1 and worked our way up to 2+ and when he is full, hes finished for that meal--which is why it didnt matter that it was twice from the get-go for me because soemtimes he would take very little.

    We did ceral once a day at 4 1/2 mos. then twice a day at 5 months.  At 5 1/2 months we started orange/yellow veggies for lunch, and by six months we were on to fruits. Then green veggies a week later. We didn't get to meat until 6 1/2 mos, but dd hated it and still does to this day!

    we started with 1 tablespoon of cereal and then tried oatmeal... every 5 days I would add a new food whether a veggie or fruit.  now she is eating 2-3 tablespoons of rice/oatmeal twice a day and 1/2 jar of veggie for dinner and 1/2 jar fruit for lunch.

    I started rice once a day for about a week, then gave him other baby foods to try. He is 5 months old and eats "food" about twice a day.
