Am looking for advice on how often to feed my 7month old solid foods. None of the books i've read seem to clearly indicate this. Right now i'm giving him cereal and a pureed fruit at his 5pm feeding, but that's it food-wise. Not sure when to go to 2x's a day, or if once a day is fine. Please help! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Take it slowly. Baby cereal is fortified with iron, which can be constipating. We made the mistake of moving too quickly introducing cereal, and dd got constipated for a week (it's the only time she has ever been constipated; she's now 17 mos). Introducing solids is a big change for their tiny digestive systems. [ Reply | More

Thx. Good to know. DB has happily eaten everything we've fed him so far, but he's definitely been constipated, too. Did you have a remedy for the constipation, or did it go away on its own? [ Reply | More

We gave her pureed prunes, lots of breastmilk and I think we just stopped the cereal altogether for a while. [ Reply | More

My pediatrician gave me a schedule and I followed that. I can't remember the exact schedule anymore. I feel like it was twice a day though? [ Reply | More

Our ped gave a rough outline that said twice a day. I also found everything else I read to be vague or contradicting so just went with ped's advice. Also, Books said to BF before eating solid meals,but my ped's advice didn't say that so I didn't. [ Reply | More
