Jan '06 Mommies...4 month old/18 weeks..Am I feeding her right?

I'm giving Alyson cereal 2 times a day and one veggie/fruit at a time for 4 days one time a day.

Breakfast: cereal
Lunch cereal OR veggie
Last feeding: whatever she did not have for lunchtime

Sometimes she'll take the bottle I use to make the cereal (4-5 oz) immediately after, and sometimes she waits 30 min and sometimes not at all and goes to sleep with just food.


Am I doing this right?

I hope you dont mind me answering Im a Jan 05 mommy I didnt bottle feed but when you start solids the amount of liquid will decrease. As long as she has plenty of wet diapers I think it's ok.

I am basically doing the same thing, cereal at noon feeding 3-4 tbsp one breast(haha) and a 1/2 to a jar of either a fruit or veggie, then at the 7 oclock feeding the same thing. I try a new fruit or veggie for 3-5 days 1/2 a jar until I know she is not allergic. She loves APPLESAUCE alot!!
