feeding solids? do you give cereal every day? and proteins?
Ped didn't really explain much other than give 2 tbs of a new food, twice a day, every 4 days.
So I'm confused, once you introduce cereal do you always give it every day?
When do you introduce protein? if you started at 4m, when did you introduce egg yolks?

Re: feeding solids? do you give cereal every day? and proteins?
I gave DS cereal everyday mixed with a fruit. Once DS had three fruits I could mix together I started mixing them with the cereal. I also gave Xavier rice. I would alternate between the cereal and rice. Meats I didn't add until 6 months. We started with chicken. Egg yolks haven't started yet. I want to add a few more fruits and veggies before adding eggs.

so you don't give straight up fruit?

Re: feeding solids? do you give cereal every day? and proteins?
I give (and always have given) cereal every day, 2x/day.
I did not introduce meats until I finished with all the fruits/veggies, around 7 months (I started solids at 5 months though). Eggs and stuff I think my ped wants me to wait until 9 months.

Re: feeding solids? do you give cereal every day? and proteins?
With my oldest I did cereal at breakfast and dinner mixed with a fruit or veggie and for lunch I did a fruit, veggie or a fruit/veggie blend. Then when I added yogurt at lunch I bought plain yogurt and mixed the baby food into it.

Re: feeding solids? do you give cereal every day? and proteins?
We started with cereal mixed with formula. Then when we started fruits, we mixed the fruits with cereal. He gets fruit mixed with cereal everyday for breakfast. Then we introduced a veggie at night. At our 5 month appt, our doctor said to start meats and start a 3rd meal. So he gets either yogurt or a veggie for lunch. Then for dinner, either a veggie or a veggie/meat combo.

Just fyi - egg whites were on a very short list of allergens to avoid until a year so you might not want to introduce them anytime soon.

Very similar for us.
Now we do a veggie and a yogurt for lunch, and sometimes do pasta/veggie for dinner instead of meat.
At her 9 month appt doc okayed eggs and most table foods so we are starting to introduce more "real" foods now.

Re: feeding solids? do you give cereal every day? and proteins?
started solids at 4 months. took my sweet time going through all the cereals than all the veggies/fruits.
didn't start with eggs until 8 months (just within the last two weeks actually)
tried yogurt when he turned 8 months (about 4 weeks ago..he'll be 9 months on Tues).
i'd given him some beans (which have protein) bet. 6 and 7 months. he is a BIG fan.
I haven't given meat yet. I am being cautious with proteins for a reason I cannot quite put my finger on.

Re: feeding solids? do you give cereal every day? and proteins?
We started cereal at 4 months but he didn't love it until 5 months.
We did veggie and fruit for a while. At 6 months we started yogurt and shortly after meats.
As per our ped, we didn't start eggs until 1 year.
