Solid food feeding schedule with veggies-Q
Help! We are starting veggies and i dont know where to put them in. I am confused about this whole schedule thing. I like schedules, but this has me scratching my head.
My 5mo old twins have been on solids for a month. Our schedule is something like this
7a- wake, half a bottle, cereal plus fruit, rest of the bottle
Noon- bottle for lunch
5pm- half a bottle, cereal plus fruit
9pm- bedtime bottle
Where do I feed the veggies? Should I give them for lunch or at dinner and do I feed them with cereal, or is lunch or dinner just veggies and fruit? My mom said give veggie with a fruit chaser and no cereal. I have no idea....

You can really do it any way you want. I didn't go up to 3 meals a day until DD was older. I gave her oatmeal and fruit for breakfast and veggies for dinner. Once I started lunch (at 8 months) I usually did veggies and fruit together.

Y9uo can give veggies for breakfast if you want. The babies do not know any better. Fit them in where ever you want. I alternated between Fuit and veggies.

Re: Solid food feeding schedule with veggies-Q
I started fruits and veggies at the same time basically. I think I introduced apples, bananas, carrots, squash, etc..My pediatrician likes all new foods to be introduced early in the day so that there is time to observe any allergic reactions, so my DD had vegetables in the morning with her cereal. Once we added a third meal, I was able to introduce new foods at lunch time. Basically, the fruits and veggies are interchangeable at this point.

Same. I am just introducing fruits and veggies now. DD had squash with her oatmeal this morning.

Thank you all so much! Did you all reduce the amt of formula, too?

My pediatrician said that at that age most of the nutrition should come from the formula, not the food. The food is just a plus.
