Talk to me about solids....
So Blake just turned 5 months. I have been doing rice cereal for the last approx 3 weeks. Just once a day to get him used to 'eating'. He's in the 96% for weight and sleeping through the night, so he's doing just fine on formula.
I'm looking to start solids in the next couple weeks, and have just started to do some research. I know start veggies first and only 1 new food every 3-5 days. I was looking online at brands - what brands do you guys use? Gerber? Or something else? I see there's a lot of organic baby foods out there, but I'm not concerned so much if it's organic. So talk to me about how you started your solids - what brand you use, how many times a day you feed solids, and anything else I need to know!
Sorry this is a post n run. I have to take the dog to the vet since it's my day off but I will be back to read responses! Thanks!

Re: Talk to me about solids....
I make my own. She has eaten squash, peas, and carrots. Squash is her favorite.
It's cheap and a lot easier than it sounds.
We always used Gerber brand. Once DD1 started veggies, she would get 1/2 a container at dinner, along with cereal. When she started fruits, she would get 1/2 a container at breakfast, along with cereal.
Ultimately her solids schedule looked like this once all fruits and vegetables were tried...
Morning = 1/2 container of fruit + cereal
Afternoon = 1/2 container fruit + 1/2 container of vegetable
Evening = 1/2 container of vegetable + cereal
