solid food feeding schedule?

Question

My son is 5-months old. Pediatrician had me start him on cereal, then the yellow veggies (which he has done great on), then green veggies and then fruit. I am curious what amounts and schedule other feed their little ones.

Any info is helpful! thanks!

Answer 1

At breakfast I recommend cereal and a fruit.

At lunch I recommend a meat, fruit and a vegetable (if you've started meat products, otherwise give 2 vegetables).

At dinner I recommend a meat, fruit and a vegetable.

Answer 2

My son just turned seven months old, so he is a bit older, but he has three solid meals. Breakfast (rice or oatmeal cereal mixed with a bit of fruit or 100% apple juice), lunch is either a dinner or vegetable and a fruit and supper is a dinner or vegetable a fruit or dessert and usually some rice cereal. He also drinks on average 21 ozs of formula throughout the day. He is eating stage 2 Gerber meals. At five months though he was eating stage 1 and he usually only ate breakfast and supper and the rest was formula.

Answer 3

I fed my son solid jar food three times daily. Each time give a bottle with it just less formula. Then in addition give a bottle between meals and at bed time. Formula that is.

Works like this.

8:00 Breakfast- cereal and 2 ounces of formula
9:00snack 4 to five ounces formula
12:00 or 12:30Lunch-veggies and fruit plus 2 ounces of formula
snack-
3:00 or4:00 - 4 to five ounces formula
6:00 or 7:00 - dinner with veggies two ounces of formula
then sometimes he would not be hungry at bed time but if he was I would give him a five ounce bottle of formula.

Answer 4

I was told to always start a meal with breast-feeding or formula, because most of their calories should still be coming from either of those, then finish the meal with solids. Sounds like a good order for introducing foods, do each one for about 4 days before moving on to isolate and identify any possible allergies. Because they can't finish a whole container at first, put about half in another dish and serve from there, cover other half and save for next meal. Always throw out uneaten portion at end of meal, germs from saliva will multiply, also saliva really changes the texture of the food.

Answer 5

I feed my baby a solid meal twice a day. Abut 1/4 cup cereal with formula, and half a baby food container of veggies, fruit, and meat. I usually schedule these feedings to coincide with lunch and dinner.

Answer 6

At seven months I started to feed my son solids. I only offered real food, not pureed, which is safer and healthier.

I gave him any fruits and veggies I was eating, with seasoning but without salt. (His favorites were broccoli, carrots, peppers, apples, pears, pineapples and strawberries

At 8 months we started meats. He ate whatever meat I was eating and meat and veggies. (He love steak)

At 9 months I started grains. Now he eats everything I eat (unless I am sneaking chocolate or cookies).

Up until 10 months of age he ate shares one "meal" a day. Though some days he played with his food more than ate it. Sometimes we would share a piece of fruit as a snack later on.

Now he eats two meals a day, maybe some snacks if I am snacking.

He still probably eats an average of 2oz of food per day. Though he will eat as much 6 oz if he really likes something.
