I give LO about 2 oz of solids each time. Sometimes I feel like she INHALES it but I don't want to give her to much because then she won't nurse/take her bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-one-or-two-meals-a-day#post-1209820 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 22:37:49 +0000 Pepper 1209820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: I give him a tablespoon serving of oatmeal before a bottle feeding. I'm not sure if the tablespoon of oatmeal mixed with 2 tablespoons of breastmilk would be enough to replace a whole bottle. He still seems hungry after the food! I might start giving him more than a tablespoon because he's always looking in his bowl for more, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-one-or-two-meals-a-day#post-1209138 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:40:51 +0000 cascademom 1209138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once at the beginning. Some days, we did and others not. Once we authorized solids at daycare, we were more consistent with it. When he turned about 10 months or so, solids got more organized and every meal. Now, we have a routine to get solids ready when he gets home. He's seriously hungry when he gets home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-one-or-two-meals-a-day#post-1209041 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:59:47 +0000 Adira 1209041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with one meal a day, but it was inconsistent and he didn't always get a meal. Now at 8 months, he consistently gets one meal a day and SOMETIMES two, but not always! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-one-or-two-meals-a-day#post-1209029 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:57:03 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1209029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One meal at six months, two at seven, three at eight. Now at ten she gets three and an afternoon snack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-one-or-two-meals-a-day#post-1209011 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:54:18 +0000 swedishfish 1209011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: Good question! We've done 3 days of a few spoonfuls of rice cereal. Did you replace a feeding with rice cereal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-one-or-two-meals-a-day#post-1208926 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:39:46 +0000 Smurfette 1208926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One a day, then a couple weeks later 2 meals, and 2 months in, we moved to 3 meals. But she LOVES purees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-one-or-two-meals-a-day#post-1208921 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:38:10 +0000 immabeetoo 1208921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once a day until he actually seemed hungry a second time - around 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-one-or-two-meals-a-day#post-1207661 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 23:27:00 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1207661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: hahaha, glad i'm not the only one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-one-or-two-meals-a-day#post-1207654 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 23:23:17 +0000 dojo 1207654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with once a day most days and then moved to twice a day a month or so later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solids-one-or-two-meals-a-day#post-1207649 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 23:21:42 +0000 autumnlove 1207649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Ditto, our poor 2nd kids.
