More food: How and when did you add additional meals?

DS is currently eating one meal of solids a day and I cannot remember how I added in additional meals for DD. I really don't want to rush him because he is only taking to foods slowly but I am also anxious for him to eat more because I honestly think it will help him sleep.

How long did you wait and what was the process you used for adding more meals of solid food?

    Our pedi said to do 1 meal a day for 2 months.  After 2 months we added in breakfast (he had been eating dinner) after about 2 weeks of eating 2 meals we added in the lunch.  It is just within the past 2 weeks that he is up to 3 meals.

    I think I did 1 meal for about a month - then added breakfast.  We have been doing that for about a week now. 

    My question is that is a "meal" a Stage 1 baby food?  When do you have a full meal a tub of Stage 2?

    I consider a "meal" to be a jar of food.  DS eats stage 2 foods already.  For breakfast and lunch he usually just has 1 jar and at dinner he eats about 2.

    F is a giant pig.  We did one meal for about two weeks, then two meals for one week, then it was onto three meals.  As soon as she started finger foods, we added in snacks.

    we are on week 3 of 1 meal. we will be moving to 2 meals pretty quickly here. eating got off to a rough start but now he is a champ and definitely wants to eat when we are eating. depending on how 2 meals treats his belly, we will move pretty quickly to a 3rd meal- within a week or so.

    My child is a pig!!!  She is already eating 3 meals.  We started with just lunch.  Then I realized that she was hungry after her morning bottle and would drink all day long so I added breakfast to tame the beast.  Same with dinner..  We went from 0 to 3 meals in about 3 weeks...
