I did about 2 spoons- worth around 8:30 after her first bottle. After that week we moved on to avocado and, sweet potatoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-started-with-rice-or-oatmeal-cereal#post-1220628 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 06:59:44 +0000 hilsy85 1220628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I increased the oatmeal when he had finished the first serving and was looking for more. I didn't go up to 2 meals until about a month after starting solids. I think I did it around 11am? You should give a bottle/nurse before solids so he doesn't fill up on the solids and not want milk.</p> <p>We actually started with sweet potato and. Then did oatmeal. And then avocados and then maybe green beans and then banana? There was no real order to it. Have fun! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-started-with-rice-or-oatmeal-cereal#post-1220612 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 06:23:40 +0000 Ra 1220612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did you stick with the one tablespoon? Did you gradually increase the amount of cereal or did you increase the number of meals per day? What time of day did you give the solid "meal?" Do you still give a bottle after each "meal?" When did you move on to fruits/veggies? What did you start with?</p> <p>I know I just asked a ton of questions! We are starting oatmeal today and I feel like I'm in over my head. TIA! </p>
