Feeding Questions
DS has just started oatmeal about a week ago. We are giving it to him once a day (about 1-2 tablespoons). We will be starting vegetables in 3 weeks. Should I start giving him the cereal more than once a day before I introduce the vegetables?

That's what I was wondering, not sure when to start my son on fruits/veggies. He has oatmeal 2 times a day, he's almost 5 months....

Re: Feeding Questions
Michael is 4 months and he eats 2-1/2 TB of cereal in the morning around 8AM (I rotate rice/barley/oatmeal) and then a 1/2 container of fruit and 4 oz of formula.
Then throughout the day I give him 6-8 oz bottles (depending how hungry he is, he eats every 3-4 hrs.)
and then around 6PM I give him the same as I gave him for breakfast, just switching up the cereal so he's experiencing different tastes during the day.

When are you starting veggies?
