5 month old foods and eating schedule help
My 5 month old is now EBF and eating oatmeal one time a day. He is getting up twice during the night to feed, and my husband says we should up his food. I am nervous to do so without meeting with the doctor first. I will call and ask him..but just wondering what you all do. He eats his oatmeal one time a day at 6:30 before his bedtime of 8:00 (nurses before bed). How do you know whether to add a second feeding of oatmeal? Can I choose to do this or do I need doctor approval? I know fruits and veggies are not until 6 months and the doctor said we would discuss it at then next appointment. What are your 5 months olds eating...what is their feeding schedule? Thanks!

Re: 5 month old foods and eating schedule help
I can't help you with the oatmeal as dd hasn't had that yet but at 5 months 1 week we started dd on sweet potatoes she is EBF also. She had them once a day for one week then went to bananas. On the second week of eating she had a little bit during the day in between feedings and then again at dinner time. This week we went up to food 3 times/day (third week eating) and added applesauce. DD has not slept longer because of the solids, she still wakes up during the night a few times. I'm so used to it it doesn't bother me.

Ds is ebf. We are waiting until 6 months to start solids. I am planning to skip cereals and go straight to fruits and veggies.

Re: 5 month old foods and eating schedule help
my twins are on only pumped BM and now solids. they started rice at 4 months and we were told to add fruits and veggies after a week following the 3 day rule. They went to 2 meals a day at 5 months.
keep in mind that most of their nutrition comes from the breast milk

Re: 5 month old foods and eating schedule help
At 5 months dd had 4 8.5oz bottles and cereal 2x a day, 7:30am and 7:30 pm (right before her 8am/pm bottles). We started w/ rice cereal 1x day, then oatmeal 1x day to make sure no reaction to either, and now she has rice in morning, oatmeal at night. starting veggies today (she just turned 6mos).
