how much jarred baby food do you give in a sitting? ds seems to want more after a 4 oz jar. do you keep giving until they refuse? worried about overfeeding and him puking it all back up. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

ds is 6 1/2 mos. we started at 4 mos bc of reflux issues. i give him 1 4 oz jar at bkfast and 1 4 oz jar for dinner. should i be giving more, or starting to add lunch? im so confused, and very worried about giving too much food/formula bc of all the reflux/vomiting issues. [ Reply | More ]

Then ask your ped. I started 3 meals a day at about that time. Do you do rice cereal/oatmeal too? [ Reply | More ]

actually, at the ped GI's suggestion, we stopped cereal/oatmeal altogether. was causing constipation which aggravated the reflux. she told us to stick only to fruits and veggies. when i last talked to my ped, he was eating the stage 1 2.5 oz jars, and she said to increase to the stage 2 4 oz jars, which he now seems to want more of. ped told me to aim for 3 meals and 24 oz of forumla by 9 mos. right now he takes about 26 oz formula over 4 bottles: 5, 7, 7, 8. not sure when to add lunch and if/when to reduce/eliminate bottles. sorry to be so crazed, it's just very confusing to a new mom and especially bc we have had it so hard with the reflux and all the vomiting. i really appreciate your suggestions.

Sure--I think you should ask your ped for more direction though. My DCs didn't have reflux. [ Reply | More ]

It usually did just fruit + cereal at bfast; then veg + cereal + fruit (if hungry) at lunch; then fruit + veg + finger food at dinner [ Reply | More ]

if you're just giving fruit and veg purees, maybe he needs bulkier foods, meats etc. And I would definitely add lunch at this point and may talk to your pediatrician about doing FOUR meals a day. The meals can be a bit smaller and that might help with the reflux. Good luck! [ Reply | More ]
