Question about feeding schedule for first solids
We started DD on oatmeal today and gave her aprox 1.5 tbsp at 8am. (She has an 8oz bottle at 7am). She loved it!
When does/did everyone do their second meal during the day? I'm not seeing my ped again for a few weeks, so looking for some thoughts in the interim.
Also, when you move onto fruits/veggies, do you still do oatmeal too? Or do fruits/veggies replace oatmeal?

Re: Question about feeding schedule for first solids
Fruit/veg AND oatmeal! In the beginning, we did oatmeal in the am, a fruit or veggie in the afternoon- about an hour after the 11am bottle, then oatmeal again in the evening, about an hour and a half before final BF of the day. Now (6m), we do the fruit AND veggie in the afternoon, and still oatmeal in the am and evening.

Re: Question about feeding schedule for first solids
How old is your DD?
We started at 6 mos ans did oatmeal 1x a day for a week and then started introducing fruits and veggies. We would do fruit with oatmeal or veggie with oatmeal (just thicken a bit) for an early lunch and then just oatmeal at dinner. We did this until she was done trying all her veggies and fruits and making sure of no reaction! Now we just do fruit by itself and mixed with oatmeal for early lunch and just a veggie for dinner.

Re: Question about feeding schedule for first solids
I started with veg then fruit then fruit/oatmeal or veg/oatmeal after I allergy tested the main ones. (Dds have eczema and oatmeal can worsen it.). They get a 6 oz bottle at 6:30, solids at 9:30 w\ 4 oz bottle, 6oz at 12:30, solids and 4oz at 4:30, 6 oz at 7:30.
