| When you add lunch, what do you offer? DS is 7 1/2 months. Along with formula, he has cereal and 1/2 jar of fruit in the am and cereal 1/2 jar of veggie or fruit in at dinner time. Is the lunchtime just fruit or veggie without the cereal? |

| That's usually how we do it. He gets cereal and fruit in the morning, and cereal and fruit or veggie in the afternoon. For lunch he gets a jar of meat dinner, or maybe just a veggie or fruit, and sometimes meat dinner AND fruit if he seems really hungry. I've also been known to give a cereal "snack" around an hour or so before bedtime if he seems particularly hungry/fussy. Hope this helps! Of course, he's my first, so maybe I'm doing it all wrong...

| Elsa is 4m old now and I just started feeding her solids. So far she has had bananas, pears and rice. And she eats 3 times a day. She is a little piggy but that is how I did it with my son and it worked so why change? Shelby |

| We don't have rituals here. Since my daughter is a late sleeper she sometimes misses bkfast. Her first meal of the day might be at 11am or 12noon. It depends on what I feel like feeding her. Sometimes I offer her cereal & fruit. Other times I give her pastina with a fruit or veggie. And other times whatever I had leftover from her dinner the night before. For lunch I don't usually give her a meat, but there will be usually a veggie &/or fruit. Today I fed her chicken croquettes b/c that's what I had for lunch & she loved it! It's best not to lock yourself into "I must feed her this or that". Play some things by ear & have fun with it, jus tlike you would with your own mealtimes. If she's hungry feed her more.... |
