What have you fed him or her so far?
When do you plan to do 2x a day?
I've fed DS sweet potatoes and squash. Wondering what may be good next.

Re: If you are giving your baby food now....
- Start with rice cereal for 3 days
- After that, add in a vegetable (any kind) twice a day. Once between the second morning and lunch nursing session/bottle, and one between the afternoon and dinner nursing session/bottle. (In his example, there were 5 nursing sessions: morning, second morning, lunch, afternoon, dinner).
- Wait three days before moving onto a new food.
- Then introduce fruits.
He said no meat or anything yet and that we'd discuss that at the next appointment. There weren't any produce items I was told to avoid.
The only things off limits are shellfish and honey. Other than that it's just what you did during pregnancy - cook meats through, avoid unpasteurised foods, etc.
I can't wait to start!! I spent the weekend making purées and thinking about finger foods
Pedi said we could give it to her twice a day, breakfast-time and dinner-time, about 30-60mins after bottle, so that's what we're doing right now. We are giving up to a Tbsp per feeding (which she finished last night and ate about 2/3 this morning).
We've done peas, squash, sweet potatoes, bananas all thinned with formula- and some cereal (just) rice to get started
edit to add cereal
We did baby oatmeal and then added in fruits and veggies slowly. He usually now gets oatmeal mixed with a fruit at lunch and a veggie (or two; or a veggie and fruit) at dinner time. He eats with us.
We have done:
Grain: baby oatmeal
Veggie: Squash, Carrot, Green Bean, Sweet potato
Fruit: Peaches, Mango, Apple Pear
He doesn't love the oatmeal. He loves green beans, the plum organics squash, and mangoes.
Emergency induction: 2/16/2014
Baby E born: 2/16/2014 at 12:56pm. 5lb 15oz
FTR, he is 5 months + 1 week old.
So far we've done these-
Fruit- apples, plums, peaches, pears, watermelon, bananas, avocado
Veggies- squash, sweet potato, carrots, cucumber
Spices- cinnamon, nutmeg
I plan on doing peas next then green beans. We do the 3 day rule.
She said to start with rice cereal, then try oatmeal cereal, then vegetables, then fruit. She said start with 1 meal a day, then 2 meals per day when LO reaches 5 month.
After you do the cereals, you're supposed to start with veggies rather than fruit, or they won't want to eat vegetables. That's what she said at least. And that we could introduce something new every 4 days. LO will be ready to start oatmeal tomorrow. He's been doing great with the rice cereal so far.
She eats anywhere from 3times a day ( sitter does this) or 2 timeS. Lunch and dinner. She just isn't a morning eater formula or food. Literally she won't eat until ten if she's up at 5
I remember with my son I stressed over it but he naturally dropped bottles until 12 months when we were completely done with bottles. I just can’t remember how we got it going. Hoping to start food here in the next 4 weeks.
