Feeding question

DS has been on rice cereal for 11 days. Should I try Oatmeal now? Also when would I start vegetables?

Re: Feeding question

You can definitely try the oatmeal.

I would do that for 3 days and then after that you can give him some veggies. Whatever veggie you chose, give that for 3 days and then go onto the next.

After the 3 days of oatmeal cereal, then you can switch back and forth between the 2. Or if you choose you can try the barley for 3 days.

Re: Feeding question

I asked this the other day too!
I did one week rice, 2nd week oatmeal and now we are on the 3rd week of feeding and doing barley. I also started this week with my nanny doing a morning feeding in addition to my evening feeding. Basically what I was told was to wait 4 - 5 days between new foods to make sure there are no allergies or adverse reactions to anything. If you were to start 2 new foods then you wouldn't know which one created the allergy.

Re: Feeding question

Now my next question is I only have him on it once a day but I wanted to bump him up to twice a day. Would it be bad if I already gave him rice this morning and I tried oatmeal tonight?

Another concern I have is he is getting his shots on Thursday. Should I wait until the weekend to try the oatmeal in case he has a reaction? How would I know if it was from the shot or from the cereal?
