So you could do that if you want to make sure he eats, but I don't think it matters too much! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-at-6-months#post-1474862 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:54:07 +0000 jetsa 1474862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: @mdf106: @Silva: @char54: @Alivoo01: @Adira: @blackbird: thank you all!

She didn't actually start getting hungry for solids until maybe 9 or 9.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-at-6-months#post-1469958 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:06:07 +0000 Charm54 1469958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are:</p> <p>8:00 - wakeup, oatmeal (not much), 6oz<br /> 12:00 - 6oz<br /> 3:30- 6oz<br /> 5:00 - oatmeal (1-2 tbsp), and I try a purée but she's not usually interested<br /> 7:00 - 6oz, bed for the night </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-at-6-months#post-1469941 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:02:34 +0000 Alivoo01 1469941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I introduced purees at dinner for DS when he was 5 months old. Per the pedi, we upped it to 3 meals a day when he was 6 months. He'd have a bottle first then 30 minutes later, have solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-at-6-months#post-1469531 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:36:46 +0000 Adira 1469531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander wasn't even interested in solids until 7 months! And then we just did dinners before introducing another solid meal! He wasn't on 3 meals a day until around 10 months. And we were already doing a D vitamin since he's breastfed and didn't add any additional vitamins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-at-6-months#post-1469519 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:32:11 +0000 blackbird 1469519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only did food in the evening for a month or so and then started on lunch+dinner and on the weekends we would do breakfast. It wasn't until she was probably 8/9 months that she REALLY got interested. We didn't supplement with vitamins or anything since formula has plenty </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-at-6-months#post-1469346 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 11:56:55 +0000 jetsa 1469346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What does your 6 month olds schedule look like?</p> <p>DS's is</p> <p>2am BF<br /> 5am BF<br /> 6:30am BF<br /> 3 bottles at daycare between 8-5<br /> 5:30 purees<br /> 6:15 BF</p> <p>Daycare offered to start giving him lunch. Is this something I need to add? He just doesn't seem to care all that much for dinner and still wants to nurse 45 mins later so idk if he's just not ready or what?<br /> Does he need to be taking a vitamin now? </p>
