  chloeelyn:

  We usually mix one feeding a day with oatmeal. At daycare he has 2-3 bottles of formula and one feeding of a fruit just by itself. For dinner he has a vegetable and a bottle at bed.

   

  My mom told me I should never give him straight baby food and should miz it every time with oatmeal. Is this true? He seems happy with the system we have down. 

   

  We are new at this and would love any advice you might have. We are going by what daycare and friends have told us to do.
  

  perhaps you should talk to your pediatrician about this.  friends may be well intentioned but not well informed.

  Why no google it. Lots of sites give good info like babyceter adn wholesomebaby food. As well as your baby books week by week and WTE as well as your Pedi.

  And FWIW your Mom is very misguided.

  My Pedi said only cereal, no food until 6m.

  I would definitely ask your own pediatrician for advice, but mine told us at our 4 month appointment that we could start rice or oatmeal at that point, and after two weeks we could start baby food.
