A solids question...when did you bump up to more than one feeding a day?

So no matter when do you started your LO on solids, how long until you gave him more than once a day? Reilly is doing great with the cereal, it's been about a week and eats a lot of formula(probably 40 ounces or so a day). Do you think it is wise to give him twice a day? For people that did this, did you try to do a cereal and veggie/fruit or 2 of the same thing every day? Thanks for any insights...

    I only did rice cereal by itself for a a frew days and then started with avacado. It took him a couple days to get the hang of it and then really liked it. So after a week or so of him eating an whole ounce of veggies/fruits, I started doing it twice a day and doing rice cereal only when I mixed it in with the fruit. I only introduce a new food in the morning and stick to an already introduced food at night so that I can monitor his reaction.

    I only give DS rice cereal once a day.  One of our peds told me not to bump up to two until 6 months.  I'm not sure I agree with this though.

    Our pedi said that we could start feeding 1-2x's oer day from the get go if LO was happy with eating it.  We did once daily for a little over a week, then moved up to a couple of teaspoons of oatmeal in the morning, and a  tablespoon of rice cereal in the evening just over the past 3 days.  He loves it no m:
    atter what time we feed it to him!

    For comparison sake, we have been doing 1 serving of rice cereal for about 3 weeks, and have not yet bumped it up to 2 servings.  I plan to introduce new grains, then vegetables, then fruit by 6 months, and I'll bump to 2 servings at 6 months.

    We were told to start with twice a day from the start.  We were also told the amount can be an ounce per month of age.  So we started at 4 month so that is 4 ounces a day.  Maybe people will flame me but everyone on here seems to give like a few teaspoons of rice and that's it??  My pedi said that 2 tablespoons is equal to 1 ounce.  So we do 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of cereal in the am with half a tub of 1st food veggie, and then other half at dinner with more rice.  He gobbles it all up, pedi said this is great.  Maybe that is just us though...
