How many times a day do i feed my 4 month old he is only getting cereal in morning so far ?

Question

He is only been spoon feeding for for 5 days so far and he loves it. so i was thinking of, next week, introducing lunch or will this be too much. does anyone know a good web site i can print of a feeding guide from 4 months on please

Answer 1

Since he did good with the cereal you are safe to start with another food.

You should start with a veggie so he doesn't reject them after getting fruit.

I would do a morning feed and an evening feed for now.  

Answer 2

hi you can just introduce it gradually as you are doing but from what  remember when you feed them either cereal or lunch you use milk from the bottles you have made up,untill they get older then you only need a bottle at night ,you could try and see if there is a cow & gate website as i found their baby foods especially the dry ones to be really good value for money and nutritional ,hope this helps x

Answer 3

You actually should wait on the baby food till almost 5 months  

Answer 4

I personally would give it to him three times a day, breakfast, lunch and bedtime.  Cereal will not hurt him.  I started my kids on it a three weeks.  They were crying because they were hungry and that did the trick.  They are in their 30's now and are doing fine.

Answer 5

The Nestle site has a good one, my wife uses that one. But if he is eating cereal and has had no reactions then you can start him on the first stage baby foods. We started our girl on 2 tsp veggie and 2 tsp fruit at lunch and supper with 2 tsp of fruit with her cereal in the morning once she started eating the cereal on its on without spitting it out. But go to Nestle, they have one. If not on their website, you can phone and they will mail you one.

Answer 6

No if he is eating cereal already you can give him breakfast and dinner feedings. Thats what i was told my my doctor to do. my son is just fine. But dont give him a whole bowl of it just a bit. Like I think 2 table spoons of cereal but I would add a bit more for my son but not to much. Then when he was done i would give him like 2 oz. of his milk or a .oz of water. The doctor said that was fine and he didn't even drink it all just enough to wash it all down.
