Twins and introducing solids

skeppler1 · August 2014

I have 6 month old twins and they were 5 weeks early so basically they are about 5 months adjusted age. My son is getting his first tooth already and he is 4 lbs bigger than his sister right now. He is slowly getting a handle on how to eat with a spoon but my daughter hasn't quite got the hang of it yet. We are still trying to work on that though.
So I am wondering if your babies start solids at the same time? Anyone with singletons, was your baby not ready for solids at 6months? Pediatrician said for us to start introducing them but its hard when they aren't quite ready.
Still trying to figure out the best time to feed them cereal for their bed time feeding. They usually fall asleep right after at 8pm with their bottle so I am thinking I might have to feed them cereal when I bring them home from daycare.
They have 4 bottles a day and do cereal in their night bottles since they are still learning.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Always trying to figure out being a multiple mom still and FTM at that.

Thanks ladies

My boys were 4 weeks early and we started oatmeal cereal and fruits and veggies at 5.5 months. When they are showing interest I would start. They just turned 7 months and eat twice a day along with 5 bottles.
