How long do you give Stage 1 jarred food for?

I've heard you go through all the veggies & fruits. I'm giving DS Earth's Best and have so far only seen 3 of each (total of 6). Are there more?

Elizabeth eats Earth's Best too. They don't have a lot in the stage 1.

Since Elizabeth is allergic to sweet potatoes and apples, I gave her Gerber stage 1 foods as well because otherwise she was eating the same 4 things day in and day out.

We're on stage 2 now and there's a much greater variety. We started stage 2 at 6 months.

Our ped said start Stage 2 at 6 mos. We started solids at 4 mos so she was done by 6 mos and we moved on to stage 2. I had a couple of stage 1s left so we give them to her every once in a while. I don't believe Earth's Best has a big selection of Stage 1, but you can check their website.

Earth's Best doesn't have a lot in stage 1--I wound up ordering some of it from diapers.com because I just couldn't find it in the stores.

You could give stage 2 though, there really isn't much difference IMO--just more food.

I went through stage 1 until he had tried almost everything--towards the end of it though he was going through 2 jars at each meal, so that's when I switched to stage 2. Just don't get the mixes if you go to stage 2 until you try things individually.

Thanks, we just started jarred foods this week.

I yesterday b/c I came home from work and there was 3/4 of a jar left of peas. I asked DH if he forgot to give Ryan a meal. He apparently thought he was supposed to give him just a couple of spoonfuls each feeding. So he had 1/8 of a jar per meal
