how much babyfood are you feeding your 4mo?

We started DS on babyfood over the weekend after recommendation from his pedi gastrointerologist. We're hoping real food, with rice cereal in his bottles, help his reflux. How much are you giving your LO?

I took a 2.5oz container to daycare this morning for him to eat with his next bottle (around 8:00) and when I picked him up this afternoon there was a note on his sheet that said: "he ate really well, he enjoyed the whole container".

I had been giving him only half but he seems to be fine, no extra spit up or vomiting so I guess hes ok....but is that too much?

TIA!!

    May I ask you what you started him on?  My daughter is 4 1/2 months and has reflux and we started putting cereal in bottle too.  I'm thinking about giving her some applesauce tonight.

    DD has 1 ice cube worth - which is about 2oz apparently - once a day right now w/ 2 tablespoons of cereal -- and then 2 tablespoons of cereal in the morning w.out babyfood - but soon she will get cereal and fruit in the AM and cereal and veggies in the PM. i think it is fine that he had the whole container.

    DD doesnt have reflux but pedi told us to start with orange veggies, then move on to the rest and then fruit then meat

    no applesauce!! The gastro dr said it has alot of acid in and it to do veggies first, then bland fruits. He said peaches and applesauce should be last since they have the highest acidity (sp?). We started him on sweet potatoes and tonight we're moving to squash or carrots. When I do fruits, he said to starts with bananas or pears first.

    When you say 2 tbsp of cereal...do you mean 2 tbsp dry cereal then diluted in something or 2 tbsp of the diluted cereal.

    My LO is 5 months...

    This is what we are doing.

    Breakfast- 1/2 jar of #1 fruit, with 2 tablespoons of oatmeal

    Dinner-1/2 jar of #1 veggie, with 2 tablespoons of rice

    At 6months I plan on adding lunch. Not sure when I'm going to start the full jar however.
