 Alert | | Hi - my five month old is ready for some solid foods. The problem is I can't remember how it all goes!! I know I start with rice cereal but then what??? Any advice? How much to start with, how long do I keep him on the rice cereal, then when I start another type of food does he still get rice. Talk to me like I'm a four year old, I won't mind! I can't let my husband know that I don't know everything!! LOL | | | |

Alert | | I would start off with about 1-2 TBS, just to get him used to the texture and swallowing solids. Once he has got the hang of then move him up to about 1/4 cup and then you can start adding the fruits and veggies. Remember only 1 new food a week, just so you can be sure that he doesn't have any allergies to anything and then build from there. Personally I mixed in the cereal with the fruits/veggies just because it made it easier to feed my girls. But you can always do them seperately. Hope that helps. We just got done with baby food a couple months ago. | |

Alert | My pediatrician strongly advises waiting until 6 months to start solids. Apparently a good number of babies aren't ready before then.
Also, there's not very much nutritional value in rice cereal. I skipped it all together and started with avocado. My daughter loved it!
I really like this site: http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com
They have lots of info about when to start solids, what foods are ok at what age, etc...  | | | |
