stage 1 gerber
Gillians 3 months old and I wanted to introduce her to some foods (applesauce). How much do I give her? I cant imagine the whole jar even though its so small. I gave a a little less then a tsp last nite just to see what she would do. It seemed like she loved it.

Re: stage 1 gerber
I started the boys with half a jar. In about 2-3 weeks it was obvious they wanted more so they each get a jar each a feeding now. They will let you know. In the beginning when they got tired of it they started spitting it out of their mouths.

no. I did it backwards didnt I.
But I only gave her less then a tsp so should I switch to a cereal? If so cereal, rice or barley?

Re: stage 1 gerber
I started with half the jar but he wanted the whole thing pretty soon after! I also mixed the cereal with fruit and gave him both b/c he would not do plain cereal. I also found that he liked oatmeal better than rice or barley cereal so try so things out see what gets the best reaction! Good Luck

Our ped started Jack on 1 teaspoon of rice cereal for 1 week then barley then oatmeal. He told us to gradually increase the amount so his tummy would get used to it. After 1 month we're up to 4 tsp and now introducing yellow veggies. Carrots this week and he loves it!!!
We were told to introduce sweets (fruits) last

I never measured it. I just go by what he wants. You'll be able to tell when they've had enough.

Re: stage 1 gerber
Our ped started DD on cereal at 4 months (which I think is pretty standard) she is eating 3 tbsp now and we will introduce fruits and veggies at 5 months.
I think that they start on the cereal first since it is easier to digest.
