solids....yes again!!! 6 months+

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Where is everyone at with solids?? DS has tried:

Rice Cereal - hated it

Oatmeal - loves it!

Sweet potatoes - not a huge fan but I mixed it with oatmeal tonight and he gobbled it up

We have been giving DS 1 ounce of the sweet potatoes but tonight I did 1 ounce sweet potatoes and 1Tblsp of the oatmeal.  Is that too much or not enough??  I'm thinking DS could really handle more but it's hard to tell and he may be ready for 2 meals - when did you switch to 2 meals?

    we skipped rice cereal

    DS has had Barley Cereal and loves it (he also has this twice a day)

    green beans - loves them!

    butternut squash - loves it!

    carrots - loves them!

    prunes - loves them!

    banana - he's not sure yet (just tried this today)

    DS has 3 meals a day plus 3-4 bottles a day. (cereal for breakfast with a teeny bit of prunes, a veggie for lunch, and a veggie + cereal + a bit of prunes for supper)

    I started DS on solids when he was 5.5 months.  We have tried:

    - rice cereal

    - oatmeal cereal

    - sweet potatoes

    - carrots

    - green beans

    - peas

    - apples

    - bananas

    - avocado

    - squash

    - pears

    He has loved everything so far!  We only do one meal right now (morning meal) but I will be adding a 2nd one this week.  I give him a bottle then 1/2 an hour later I give him solids.  He gets 3 tbsp of cereal (mixed with formula) and 1 oz (2 tbsp) of whichever fruit or veggie we're on.

    We are only on day two of rice cereal - DD is not the biggest fan but I am not sure if it is the taste or texture.

    probably both!!!  DS hated it...I stuck it out though for a week and then took a week break and then started oatmeal and now DS is doing awesome!

    per the pedi's recommendation we started DD on solids at 4 months...

    she HATED rice cereal

    felt OK about oatmeal

    LOVES: green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, squash, avocado (and guacamole), carrots, garden vegetable medley (stage 2), apples, peaches, pears, prunes, blueberries, pomegrante, bananas, corn casserole, hummus, etc.

    shes skinny as a rail yet a little piglet... who 'da thunk it?

    shes eating 2-3 meals a day, anywhere from 4-8 oz per meal... PIGLET

    ETA: she also drinks 4-5 8 oz bottles a day :)
