Seaford Ped Moms...Come on in!

My dd is 6 months old and a patient of Seaford Peds.....we primarily see Dr. Wren.

We were told that she should eat the following meals:

Breakfast: Oatmeal and an entire Stage 2 fruit
Lunch: Half Fruit/Half Veg Stage 2
Dinner: Oatmeal and an entire Stage 2 Veg

We were told NOT to give her any Stage 2 chicken with rice etc type meals yet. We were also told no puffs, pastina etc.

My dd has a SEVERE milk allergy, so we cannot give her yogurt.

I have another friend who also uses Seaford Ped and they told her to go straight to the Stage 2 meats etc at 6 months.

Just confused as to what to do. Any help???

I think each MD there gives their own advice - depends who you see. Personally, if your DC has tested the other ingredients in the meat combo (ie chicken and sweet potatoes) then I don't see why wren would tell you to avoid it. Maybe call and see if there is a specific reason??

Hi other Seaford Ped. Moms!!
My DD is 2 and we've been using them since she was born and now DS will be born on Wed. so we are back to SP with newborn visits and shots.
I definitly agree each dr there is different and most pretty lax. Im a pretty laid back mom myself so its all goos.
No restrictions w/ foods for dd except they said starting out do a week of oatmeal then a week of rice, that was about it, no allergies either so maybe its different. I would ask though why the wait on meats?
Good luck n Enjoy your LO's

Another Seaford Ped mom here! I guess it all depends on the child/MD. When we saw Dr Wren at DS 6 month checkup, she told us pretty much the same as you but to start yogurt. She said that it was not necessary to introduce the meat stage 2 until 9 months. I didn't start DS until around 8 months but he was getting pretty much table food at that point. I was never told no about puffs or pastina

Re: Seaford Ped Moms...Come on in!

It really does depend on who you see. When DD was little, we primarily saw Dr Meckes. He told us to do NO jarred meats- but instead to wait until DD had teeth and could eat regular chicken. He said that jarred meats grossed him out- so to hold off- and we did just that. Of course though, my DD was a late teether- so it was like forever until she ate meat.

Hi another Seaford Ped mom. When DD saw dr cathy she also told me no meats until 9 months and I remember it was a specific question of mine.

The drs in the office do have differing opinions on things. I would follow what you were told by Dr Wren there may be a reason that your friend received different info then you.

Re: Seaford Ped Moms...Come on in!

My friend takes her daughter there, though I don't know which doctor she sees. I know she was told to wait until 9 months for meat. She started solids at 4 months.
