Did anyone happen to watch the Dr Phil show on friday about feeding infants solids etc??
I did not see it but my friend did and told me that it is now suggested that you only feed solids to babies who are 6 months old!!!!
Too late, I already started, now what to do - Do I continue feeding pureed carrot and rice for lunch and introduce other veggies and fruit or just feed him the rice and oatmeal till he is 6 months? He is now 5 months old????
Also when do you introduce the third meal?
Any suggestions? Thanks |

| I wouldn't panic. If your instinct told you it was time, you aren't harming him! Just keep doing what you're doing. My friend started her baby on solids at 5 months and he is just fine. My doctor told me to wait until 6 months also, but I have cereal and spoons at the ready just in case she starts showing a lot of interest in what I'm eating or isn't full by milk alone. Don't worry, you are just fine in my opinion. |

My baby is 4 months old and I decided to start him on solids. He is a big baby, and I dont feel that milk alone is keeping him full. He is back to eating every 2 hours again. So I started him on cerel, just a little right before bed. And it has helped tremendously, he actually sleeps six hours at a time during the night.
Plus, they say to start them at 6 months because it reduces food allergies. But really our parents where started at 6 weeks and I know my parents dont have any food allergies. So really its just what you feel is best. After all its your child and who knows them better than you? |

| My daughter is five months old and I feed her whenever she wants it, and she usually gives me a good sign. She pushes the bottle away and whines. When she gets her baby food, she's just happy as can be! She eats 2-3 meals a day. I make her baby food myself. Her favorites are prune and oatmeal cereal, carrots and rice cereal, peas and also applesauce! As long as she gets 28oz of formula a day I'm good with that. She's a big girl length-wise-already in 9 month sleepers! I agree with the others, you know whats best-not anyone else! |
