Question about veggies and fruits

I've been giving him cereal 2x a day for a little over a month. He is now 6 months and yesterday the Dr said to start adding fruits and veggies with the cereal but of course, I forgot half the things she said.

I started with veggies and I know you have to use the same one for about 3 days to see if there is a reaction.

Do you only give the new food 1x a day while trying them out until you've gone through all the foods and see that there is no reaction THEN go to 2x a day or do you feed them the food you are trying out 2x a day from the beginning?

Another question...do you bottle or BF them right after the solid food or space it out a little...Thanks..I'm so confused

Re: Question about veggies and fruits

I give him the new food 1x/day for 3 days. His schedule is pretty much like this...

6AM nurse
7AM fruit
10AM nurse
11:30 Cereal
1:45PM nurse or bottle
5PM bottle
6PM cereal/veggie
7:45 bottle - bed

Re: Question about veggies and fruits

depending on our night waking routine the 6am bottle sometimes is skipped because he eats at 3 or 4.

6:30 bottle

10:00 cereal (2oz formula with 3 tbspns cereal and 1/2 fruit

2:00 bottle

5:30 cereal with 1/2 veggie

8:00 bottle

and the rest of the night is TBA because he still eats at night

I started with carrots and pears. Applesauce makes him gassy and green beans are a killer. I still only give him 1/2 a veg and fruit maybe in about a week or two I will increase it to a whole. He has now turned six months.
