question about starting solids
My tiny baby is a big boy now - and way too soon for my taste. He got to have
some cereal the other day and took to it right away and with no complaints. He's had cereal and squash so far and seems to look forward to it so no turning back now. So here's the question, how often should I be feeding him big boy foods? He's 5 1/2 months. I know 6 months is the optimal but he's eating solids now. If it's just once a day, when do I increase his intake? BTW, I have pictures: http://members.aol.com/davesfatchick/images/bigboy1.jpg http://members.aol.com/davesfatchick/images/bigboy2.jpg http://members.aol.com/davesfatchick/images/bigboy3.jpg http://members.aol.com/davesfatchick/images/7103.jpg TIA, Emma ********************************** Time is the best teacher; unfortunately it kills all its students.

question about starting solids
What do you mean by big boy foods? Like baby food veggies and fruit? If so I
am not too sure, I would love to know. I have started Izabella who is 5 months old, on cereal, and she seems to love it. So far we have only done rice, and she gets 2 tablespoons of that a day, morning and than supper hour. How does your little one like squash? I wanted to start her on foods like that but her pedi told me to wait till her 6 month apt, and we would discuss foods. BTW Love the pictures. -- Laura Mommy to Izabella Gertrude **Feb 10th, 2003** And 2 felines *Ashes(2) & George (4)* http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/i/izabellawelburn/ "DavesFatChick" wrote in message ...

I do however refer to this site a lot and thought it might be of help to you: http://www.askdrsears.com/html/3/t032000.asp BTW your son is gorgeous! Nadene |

question about starting solids
What a gorgeous baby. I started feeding all 3 of my boys around 2 to 3
months . I know it's early but I never had any problems. I just gave a little of rice cereal at dinner. I just make it real smooth and gave a few bites. They do take it. My son now who is going on 3 months takes a little cereal for dinner. and he seems to enjoy it. When they are old enough for fruits and veggies I would start morning, after his milk, and dinner with the rest of the family. Or you can start lunch and dinner.Then I would include another meal when they are used to that. Sometimes I would give the cereal with fruit for dinner to hopefully help them sleep. I've talked to other Moms who do the same thing. I've talked to the nurse at the Dr.'s office and she said she fed her boys early too. Sometimes they just aren't satisfied with just milk.
