  that still didn't answer my question.  What guidelines are you all thinking of using to introduce solids/ how much/ how often?

  He's been getting rice cereal since 2.5 months. We used to feed bottle at 5pm, then rice at 7, then bottle at 8.

  Now, since we're adding real solids, pedi said to feed solids then bottle all at one time so he gets the concept of meals instead of snacking every hour or two. He gets solids (for breakfast 2 tbsp oatmeal, for dinner 2 tbsp rice plus half a container of stage 2 veggies by Gerber) plus 5 oz bottle.

  So, he's eating 5 oz at 5am, 8am (wth oatmeal), 11am, 2pm, 5pm (with rice and veggie), and 6 oz at 8pm for bed.

  Now that we have gone through all of the veggies with no allergies, we will add a fruit with oatmeal for breakfast.

  HTH!

  thanks, it does! I'm just trying to get him used to eating with a spoon right now, so we're sticking to once in the evenings as almost a "dessert".  He does get mad when I eat my oatmeal in the morning though  

  I'm just not sure how long to keep it up like this, since she recommended not to try any other foods for a month.  He is EBF and doing just fine, although in the lower percentiles for weight and height (25 and 30).  I'm not concerned since he's proportional, just small!

  Sorry I didn't fully answer your question.
