Solids

We just started my 6 month old on Rice Cereal. Was going start earlier, but tummy issues made me hesitant to add anything new. How much/often should i try the rice cereal? His babysitter made a half tablespoon of the cereal and mixed in the formula this morning and he DEVOURED it and wanted more. Had to be persuaded to take his bottle instead. This makes me happy, but also worried we need to do more now. We only started it last night so im LOST

We’ve been doing about 1 tablespoon per feeding. We started with vegetables and fruit.

@Sarah our doctor said to use the rice cereal for a few weeks to get him used to swallowing the more solid stuff, then to move on the veggies. Im SO EXCITED. Gonna give him his first vegetable on Christmas

We did 1 tbsp for about a week and then we started incorporating fruits and veggies. It’s so fun watching them get excited about new foods! 😍 her ped told us to get the solids up to 3x a day in addition to her milk

I started putting oatmeal in her morning and evening bottles. We are currently 9 days in on solids (puree).

My six month old is already chewing things it’s crazy! We had to start with purè at four months because she had a hard spitting up her milk. My doctor says no more than 3oz once of food a day. Idk how that applies to rice cereal though

Also could try mash bananas
