How often do you feed your babe solids?

Question

I’m having trouble figuring out how often to feed my babe solids. So far I’ve just been doing once a day but is that enough? Or should it be a breakfast, lunch, and dinner type deal?

Answer

You slowly add more feedings.  I do a night feed every 2-3 days.  This is usually new food to my son so I can be home if he has a reaction (I work 2 days a week).  We usually rotate new foods vegetable/meat/fruit so he gets to try a variety of things. We've recently added a lunch feed a few days a week too.  These are foods we know he likes that he can eat while I'm at work. He is ravenous and eats every 90 minutes I'm gone so we're hoping the extra calories will slow him down a bit so I can start rebuilding my milk supply.  We won't start feeding 3 meals a day for at least another 6 weeks when he turns 6 months.

Answer

You slowly work it into be a 3 meal thing. We started with just once in the morning. Now we do it for breakfast and dinner. Then in about a month or two. Introduce lunch in there.

Answer

My babe just turned 5 months and we only do solids at dinner time. With my oldest I believe we did a lunch and dinner around this time. I need to get batter at prepping her food (she doesnt like the jars of pre made food.) So she can have it at lunch and dinner. Since she sleeps through the night I feel the first few hours on the morning she needs to catch up on milk.

Answer

Once a day or every couple days. It’s really just exposure at this point

Answer

I did 3 meals A day started at 4 months
