Feeding Question...

Doctor said that I can start giving him a little bit of meat. He mentioned cooking and blending it. Would it be a crime if it came from a jar?

Now DS's Current feeding schedule goes like this:

Morning - Anywhere between 4 to 6 oz of milk. Then 2tbsp of cereal and a stage 2 jar of fruit (sometimes he has half sometimes he has the whole thing)

Afternoon - Anywhere between 4 to 6 oz of milk. Then 3 tbsp of veggies and 2 tbsp of fruit. (Although I was thinking of increasing it to 3)

Early evening - Anywhere between 4 to 6 oz of milk. Then 2 tbsp of Cereal with a stage 2 jar of fruit.

Late evening (9 or 10ish) It's just a bottle.

My question is at what feeding do I add the meat. I don't want to add it to the late evening one. How much meat do I give once I tag into one of the feedings?

Re: Feeding Question...

when I started meats I used the stage 2 mixes, either meat with a veggie or fruit, preferably organic but I use both.
I don't measure what i give her, I just give what she wants and I give it to her at dinner. She gets 3 meals a day.

Re: Feeding Question...

I read somewhere that you should make the middle meal of the day (lunch) the bigger meal with the meat in it, but I'm not sure that many people do this.

I give her chicken that I cook and puree myself with a vegetable and some water. For personal reasons, I do not want to give Ava chicken from a jar, and she will not be eating red meat, just as I do not.
I give it to her as her dinner because if I don't, she wakes up very hungry in the middle of the night. I guess the protein holds her over. I don't measure what I give her. I just make a bunch of chicken and freeze some. She eats probably about three to four Tbsps. if I had to guess. Maybe more
