What to feed?...
My 6.5 month old DS is becoming a good eater.
Right now I have been feeding him the following:
730am - 1 tablespoon oatmeal, 1 stage 1 jar of fruit, 7 oz bottle
1130- 1 stage 1 jar of vegetables, 7 oz bottle
330- 1 tablespoon oatmeal, 1 stage 1 jar of fruit, 7 oz bottle
730pm - 6-7 oz bottle
The stage 1 jars are smaller than stage 2, so im wondering if i should be feeding him more, and spacing out his meals from his bottles? When do you start stage 2 and 3 food, or yogurt etc? What food does yogurt replace?

Re: What to feed?...
Once I went through all the Stage 1 foods I went right into Stage 2. Then I started introducing table foods. We started yogurt at 6 months, it didn't replace anything, it was just another thing my kids ate in addition to bottles and working up to 3 meals a day of table food.

Re: What to feed?...
My ds is 6.5 months and at the moment he is doing 3 meals a day primarily stage 2 foods. I think the combos are better.
We space out from the bottle - he is taking less bottle which is concerning me a little - as some nights he his waking for a bottle

how do you space your day out? I feel like if i space it he will always be eating.

We do...
8am- 1 tbsp oatmeal 2 oz yogurt OR 2 oz cream of wheat 2 oz fruit purée OR 1 oz oatmeal, 1 oz cottage cheese, 1 oz fruit or yogurt puréed.
9:30- nurse
11:00- nurse
12:30- 1/2 -1 jar of vegetable or fruit/vegetable stage 2 (whatever she will eat) and 1 tbsp oatmeal
2:00- nurse
4:00- nurse
5:30- 2-3 oz dinner, which is whatever we are eating or left overs if she can't eat what we have. I just purée everything.
7:00- nurse
I make my own baby food and it's a bit thicker than the jars so I don't expect her to eat as much. As for her stage 2, I find it's thicker than the stage 1 as well. I started stage 2 for lunch at 6 months. I think the jars say stage 3 to be given at 9 months.
I used yogurt for DD breakfast but I think you could use it at any meal.
