DS has been eating rice cereal for over 2 weeks and he does great and loves it.  When do I start adding fruits and veggies and do I do tfeed that to him at a separate time or the same time or should I just mix it?  sorry so many questions.  When should I switch to Oatmeal?  TIA

    I offered her oatmeal after a couple weeks of rice. She likes the oatmeal better so I've been sticking with that.  I just offered a veggie for the first time last night- Peas. (we made our own) I just gave it to her by itself but I think you can mix it with cereal too.  I'm jsut doing veggies-specifically green veggies first so that she doesn't get used to the sweet taste of fruit and only want that...

    We started with rice cereal and DS loved it. He got the hang of it quickly but we continued with just that for about 3.5 weeks.  We just recently started adding veggies.  We started with peas too!  He wasn't too sure of the taste but he has done just fine.  We do cereal in the morning and then our veggies at night.   We are going to do a couple veggies before we introduce the sweet fruits :)

    You can offer a new food every 5 days.  It doesn't matter which order, and you can offer 2 foods together if you've tried one for over 5 days.  During the first month or so, I tended to feed each food separately, then I would mix cereal and a fruit for breakfast, do a fruit for lunch and veggie for dinner (or vice versa)...but it's really up to you.  There is no set schedule other than not starting more than one new food at a time to watch out for allergies.
