introducing a new solid food.

so ds has been doing really well with rice cereal for the past two weeks.  i'd like to introduce a fruit or a veggie.  when doing so, do you keep feeding rice cereal?  do you feed both at the same time or at different times in the day?  do you mix them together?

what has your experience been like?  i know this has been asked eleventy billion times, but thanks in advance for your help!

    we give ds rice cereal mixed with fruit in the mid-morning, then a veggie at dinner. 

     

    he didn't like rice cereal by itself though, and we are continuing giving it to him for the iron.

    It's completely up to you.  Some people never do cereal.

    We personally did them separate then after 3 weeks gave up the cereal.  We do a fruit in the morning and a veggie in the evening.  Some only do 1 meal a day.

    ok, that's pretty much what i thought.  i just wasn't 100% sure from reading other posts about this whether the cereal was still needed at that point.

    thanks!
