BTDT Moms, question about feeding.
I had my son's 4th month check up today and unfortunately we didn't get to see his regular doctor because he is on vacation and won't be back until September.
Anyway, I asked the doctor who saw him about what solids I should be giving him by now and this is what he told me.
Breakfast: Cereal 1/3 of the jar of fruit Milk
Midmorning: Milk
Lunch: Meat - Lamb or chicken or beef Veggie Fruit Milk
Midafternoon: Milk
Dinner: same as lunch
I think that this is a LOT of food for a 4th month old. We have only been giving him cereal once a day because when I give him cereal 2x a day, he doesn't have a bowel movement. I thought that perhaps the doctor was going to say give him cereal, veggies and fruit but not meat. The doc we saw today was a hard man to talk to so I didn't really get to say...Hmmm I think that is too much food.
Anyway, I am hoping you ladies could tell me how much food and what foods did you start your little ones when they were 4 months.
Sorry, it's so long and thanks in advance for responding.

Re: BTDT Moms, question about feeding.
holy crap that's a lot of food! a lot of peds are now saying not to even start solids until 6 months. mine told me to start rice cereal at 4 months. just 1 tbs. once a day and after a while i could increase it to 2x a day. she said after 1 month of that i could also introduce oatmeal and barley. i've just been giving him 1 tbs for now and i actually wish that i had just waited until 6 months, but since i already started i'm still giving it to him.

Re: BTDT Moms, question about feeding.
Wayyyyyyy too many "ingredients" for a 4 month old tummy!
We started cereal at 4 months (rice, barley, oatmeal a few days each), then fruits (apples, bananas, peaches and pears) one at a time, a few days each.... then veggies (peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash). We didn't start meats until after 6 months.

Re: BTDT Moms, question about feeding.
Thank you ladies. I couldn't believe what that doctor was telling me. I will probably introduce veggies and fruits in a couple of weeks and definitely wait to give him meats until 6 mths.
Thanks again
