Feeding schedules?

Question

Hey ladies! I’m going to start my baby on some oatmeal and rice, but I’m not sure how to properly transition formula with cereal, what’s your feeding schedules like with food?

Answer

My Sis in Law is a pediatrician, and she cautioned against rice cereal due to levels of arsenic found in it. Maybe stick to the oat!

Answer

My son is only 19 weeks so we are pretty relaxed about it,  and will be until he's around 6 months,  but right now we're introducing 2 new foods a week. We feed after he gets his normal milk once every 2 or 3 days and it's more to start tasting different things.  We usually do the feeding at night and if he likes whatever we're feeding he gets some more the next night.  If not,  no big deal.  We'll try again in a few weeks.

Answer

Right now the oatmeal/rice cereal is to not replace any meals. So keep all bottle/breastfeeding the same. I currently do oatmeal right before afternoon nap and then one after dinner.

Answer

We just do oat cereal (banana flavored) at bedtime 👍 
Haven’t tried anything else yet other than tiny tastes of things like mashed potato and avocado from the table

Answer

We don’t replace any breastfeeding so we just do it whenever is convenient. Not every day at this point, usually every day or two.

Answer

My son's schedule for the Day is ( roughly) 
7:30: breastfeed
9:00: fruit
11:30: breastfeed
12:30: meat+fruit
15:30: 5oz bottle
17:30: oat cereal
19:30: breastfeed and sleep
