My dd is 4 and a half months old. Weve recently started feeding her baby food in the morning and at supper. She usually gets a fruit in the morning and a veggie at supper. Shes been doing great with it. Someone told me that we should get her eating meats once a day for protien, but i thought you werent supposed to start babies on meats till 7 or 8 months. What did you ladies do? Should i wait on the meats?
I started my son on plain rice cereal at 4 months, then we started the baby food at 6 months.
So right now, this is his schedule (roughly):
8am - 8oz bottle
10:30am - 1 jar of fruit w/ 2oz rice cereal
1pm - 8 oz bottle
3:30pm - 8oz bottle
6pm - 1 jar veggie, 1 jar fruit
8:30pm - 1 jar fruit w/ 3oz cereal & 8 oz bottle for bed
& he sleeps until 7-8am. :]
My doctor told me not to give my babies plain meats in baby food at any age he said they had to much protein in them. We strated with the Chicken and rice and did everything with chicken in it first them moved on just the way you do with the fruits and vegies. I didn't start them on these until they were about seven months though. Good Luck
Mom to Riley and Zachary
My baby fell out of the crib today:(
