When to offer solids twice a day?

Question

When did you start solids more than once a day?

Answer

We did twice a day once and it seemed like it was too much for her little tummy so I think we'll wait a little longer. We do food at dinner time only and she's 6.5mos. Sometimes she'll finish the whole 4oz cup and sometimes if she nurses first then she won't finish it. She eats like a bird.

Answer

When my daughter seems more interested when she saw me eating again in the day. I would just let her have one feeding after her morning nap and then would give her small bites after her second nap but she was always hungry for me even if I offered boob so I let her eat more and that turned to 2–sometimes 3—small servings! She loves food!

Answer

I started purées at 4 months. My ped suggested it since he’s been eating 8.5oz of formula every 4hrs during the day since he was 3.5 months old. I started once a day with rice cereal to practice. Left it really liquify and slowly thickened it. Then when I felt like he was ready I moved to twice a day (maybe two weeks after). Just make sure it’s not upsetting their tummy. Then maybe two weeks after that I started with veggie purées then fruits etc. I took it slow because I have quite a bit of allergies so I want to make sure he didn’t react so I tried a new food once every 4 days. I want to try BLW but I’m really nervous about choking.

Answer

My baby eats 3 times a day and will finish his jar each time

Answer

We do BLW, so we started at 6 months. My boy is 6 days away from 7 months. He has eaten everything we’ve offered, which is...a lot. I always make sure my 18 month old and 7 month old have fruit, veg, carb, protein and fat so their plates tend to be quite colorful and elaborate. I think it keeps them interested. That being said, my 7mo old’s first week he wasn’t eating much, just smacking the food around everywhere, so we only did one meal per day, MAYBE 2 on an odd day. But after that first week and a half ish, he really started clearing his plate, so now he’s eating three meals per day. I don’t think it’s necessary until they start showing true interest. Meal time should be pleasant, and if it’s not pleasant for them—doing it too many times per day will start to cause other eating issues. Hope that’s helpful!

Answer

We started off with three times a day just very small servings.  He has loved everything so far except for apples- I think they were too tart.

Answer

Once he ate his vegetable solids well we started with fruit two weeks ago. It is not going as smoothly yet as vegetables but we are getting there
