Default Please help me solids question???

I am going to try Maddox with solids again. I am going to give him oatmeal around lunch for a few days. When should I introduce the jars of veggies? Should I give him a little with his cereal at lunch? Please help I feel like a beginner

Another question how long until I add breakfast and lunch? Am I the only one left??? Thanks

I wish I could remember. Sounds bad doesn't it. It's been 5 years for me. I think I did cereal for a few days or a week, then, oatmeal, then, added the veggies in slowly.

Hopefully one of the other girls will help us remember how it's done!

Wanted to wish you luck!! I would start out with one or two meals a day and work up from there. Oh and I'd stay away from oatmeal if I were you, at least until he really gets into the whole solids thing. Oatmeal can be really constipating (at least it was for Cade), I'd stick with rice cereal at first.

Actually its the rice that's the constipating one. but Oatmeal can be too.

we did cereal for about 2 weeks before stopping it all together (the oatmeal was making him constipated too)

then I started a fruit for breakfast and a veggie for dinner. sometimes he eats 2 jars, sometimes only 1. I won't be starting lunch for probably another month or so, he doesn't seem to need it yet

Amanda you are not the last one. I have only done a little rice cereal with Caleb over the past week. So far I am just doing a little at dinner time. In a few weeks I will probably add breakfast and a few weeks after that start introducing one veggie or fruit a week along with the cereal.

Thank you so much for all the great tips I am going to give the cereal a week or so and if we have the same problems as before I am going to just do the fruits and veggies. I didn't really give the cereal much of a chance though

They daycare has a box of oatmeal for DD. I think they tend to feed it to her once a day. And on days she's in DC, I don't give her any solids at home normally. I actually go days with no solids - especially when traveling. She did get a plum a couple of times and found them might tasty - wants to steal mine when she sees me eating them. But I have to watch her carefully so she doesn't choke on it. Even without teeth, she can manage to suck off chunks. Personally, I'm not putting solids as a high priority yet.
