How much solids are you starting your baby on?

Question

For those who've started their babies in solids, how many teaspoons would you say your baby eats? And are you just feeding them once per day or more often than that?

Answer

My son is 5 1/2 months now and was introduced to solids at 4 months.
 
I usually only get 4-10 spoonfuls in (baby spoon) and most of the time he spits it out, hahaha.  So I would say he still doesn't eat very much of it.  I have also used a piece of bread (French bread) as a spoon since he has recently begun wanting to only chew on the spoon.
 
So I just continue to introduce different foods to test allergies and try once a day (though sadly I do not try every day... that is probably my mistake).

Answer

we startes at 4 months.. something different every week around dinner time.. so far she not crazy about fruits, but loves veggies. if she likes what she eating she'll eat most of the jar.

Answer

We randomly try purees, meat, veggies and fruits. They shouldn't replace a bottle as far as meals/nutrition. We just do it for fun.

Answer

She eats a few tablespoons of puree twice a day. She'd eat more but I'm trying to not give her too much so that she won't get pain in her tummy. Going to up the amount little by little. She likes berries and fruit.

Answer

We started solids 3 days ago at 5 months and he had about 1-2 tablespoons of sweet potato and today about 3 table spoons of oatmeal with smashed banana in it. He LOVED IT!!! Did anyone's baby's stool slow down or stop? He hasn't pooped in 3 days as well.

Answer

My son is eating about an ounce of puréed apples mixed with formula and a small amount of iron fortified rice cereal. He loves it. He also tried bananas and ill introduce another new purée next week. I'm also going to introduce oatmeal cereal soon.

Answer

My daughter will be six months on September 4. She started oatmeal cereal at four months. Very watery the first week. I did a tablespoon of cereal with four of water. Then we increased to twice a day and two tablespoons each time. Now she has a fruit in the morning, cereal at lunch, and two tablespoons of cereal plus a stage one veggies jar at night. I don't measure her lunch cereal it's prob 2-3 TB. Morning fruit is usually half a bigger four ounce jar or so I just feed her until she isn't interested usually. She is breast fed and still nurses five times a day every 3 hours or so.

Answer

My 5.5 month old loves food. We started at 5 months, she now has roughly 2 ounces of rice with blueberry and pear purée for lunch and 2 ounces of purée veggies for dinner. She was a fantastic eater from the first try

Answer

I do a table spoon of oatmeal (dry) in the morning and a table spoon of whatever veg or fruit we've been working on in the evening because I do one new food for 3 days.

Answer

Haven't tried any food yet besides randomly giving her licks off our fingers from our food
