We just started DD on rice cereal. How many times a day are you giving dc cereal?? How long do you keep them on cereal before moving them on to other foods??

Re: Moms of 5 months old

we started DS on rice 2x day 2tbsp each time. Once we did rice for 3 days, oatmeal for 3 days and then barley for 3 days we started him on veggies and went through the same thing for each until he went through all the veggies and then started him on fruit. HTH!

We did a week of oatmeal in the am. The next week, we added barley in the pm. This week we will be starting a veggie in the pm. Our ped said we still need to keep the cereal with the am and pm meal though.

We fed her the rice cereal twice a day, morning and night, every day for a week before starting oatmeal. Then we did the oatmeal for a week before adding fruit.

Now we do 2 tbsp of rice or oatmeal with half a jar of fruit twice a day. I let DD try something for about 5 days in a row before changing it, but you only need to do it for 3 days. We do it for 5 just because I want to take it slow.
