2 meals?

I started LO on solids about 2 and a half weeks ago and we are slowly going through the foods. I am feeding him at night, either right before his last bottle before his bedtime bottle. He eats about an ounce of homemade baby food. When should I add an extra meal? And then when does the 3rd come in? And then when do snacks (like Cherrios and Mum Mums) come in? This whole solids thing is a little overwhelming...

    Our pedi said to start 2 meals after a few weeks, but we've been plowing ahead with solids since it is supposed to help the reflux. GL!

  • Tatum gets 2 meals a day and has since her 4 month appt. I feed her a bottle between 7-8 and then she gets a jar of fruit around 10. Then I give her another jar of fruit around 7 and then her bottle around 9. She will have bottles in between those times too.

  • The pedi told us at LOs 4 month shots to start the cereals around 5 months, first rice then oatmeal once a day. then to go to veggies then fruit (to avoid baby having a sweet tooth). She said by 6 months they like to see baby eating a fruit and a veggie a day 6 months twice a day. I am not sure about cheerios or puffs but I would guess that would be later on like 6+ months at the earliest? Our LO is really not interested in solids at all yet so we may hold off until closer to 6 months. So far he is really not into the whole cereal thing even though he shows all the "signs" that he would be ready. we just keep trying every couple of days.
