  I am still only giving solids once a day. I either give a plain veggie or fruit, or mix it with cereal. I just gave her oatmeal today for the first time. I mixed in some bananas, and she loved it. I am going to ask the pedi next week about how many meals though and if she should eat cereal every day.

  We just started solids at 6 months and are doing just one meal a day at this point. I intend to move to two when he's about 7 months.

  This exactly. When we do start 2x/day, we'll probably do cereal with fruit in the morning and a veggie for dinner.

  He eats 3 tbsp of cereal with 1 tbsp of fruit in the morning and 1 tbsp of veggie in the evening.

  E's been eating cereal since about 4.5 months, and we've been doing lunch for a while with 1 jar of veggies, but today we started breakfast, so i'm trying to decide whether or not to do cereal then as well, or if it's just better to give 2 jars of fruit.

  we've been given the all-clear for stage 2 & meats, so i'm thinking that may replace cereal at dinner, but i don't know.
