If You Started Solids At 4Months

When did you add a second meal?

We started him on half a jar at nights, and last night he still acted hungry to I gave him the whole jar. He ate it all, and still took his whole night time bottle. So I assume I can continue to give him a whole jar as long as he doesn't act full, still keeps up his formula intake, etc.

How do I know when to add a second meal? I wasn't nervous at all to start solids but I'm confused about when to proceed.

    I do oatmeal (1 or 2oz of breastmilk with however much cereal it takes to make a paste) in the morning and a veggie at night. He was getting 1oz of veggie pur?e at night but I'm going to offer him 2oz tonight. If he wants it, he can have it. He's underweight. He still drinks ~35oz of breastmilk everyday.

    My pedi recommended 2 meals a day anyways and said if he keeps eating, then keep feeding it to him.  He said not to limit it by my standards but what LO is comfortable with and when he starts giving signs he is full.  It has worked out so far.  But we only feed LO cereal now.  Our Pedi says we have to give 4 different kinds of cereal to LO before veggies.

    We did an afternoon veggie or fruit for about 3-4 weeks.  Then we started doing a veggie in the mid-morning, and a fruit in the afternoon.  We only do about 3 tablespoons each time.  She still gets her regular 5, 6 oz bottles/day.

    We give her oatmeal around 9am (2 oz of formula and enough oatmeal to make it paste like).  At around 12-12:30pm she gets a fruit (2.5 oz), and at 5pm she gets a veggie (5 oz).  My Dr said to start her on 3 times a day as soon as we can. 

    We gave a solid (either the oatmeal or veggie) at night for about 1.5 weeks, last week started giving her oatmeal in the am and veggie at dinner time.  This week we started adding the fruit at lunch time.  She still is taking formula 5-6 times a day in between.

    We added a second meal at 5 months, he was probably ready before then but we hadn't yet figured out a routine that worked. I am now working on adding a 3rd meal.
