I just started my baby on baby food?...?

Question

He is 6 1/2 months old and for the past two weeks he has been having homeade banana and whole grain oatmeal for breakfast and just starting the homeade applesauce. The thing is, I don't know when or if I should be offering him baby food besides breakfast, given that he just started baby food like two weeks ago. When do I know to take it to the next step and make him baby food for lunch and dinner as well. Should I be doing that now already??

Answer 1

Yes.  Give him some veggies for lunch or dinner so he has the 'taste for them' early.

Answer 2

Do it now.  

Answer 3

My pediatrician said once a day until 8 months then twice a day until 10 months and then you can start three times a day (or two times and finger food snacks), because most of the baby's calories should be coming from breastmilk/formula still and the ratio changes gradually as he ages.  Don't worry about giving dinner foods like peas or green beans for "breakfast" - your baby doesn't know that veggies aren't morning foods.

Answer 4

My baby brother started eating baby food at about 5 months old!They should be fed breakfast,lunch,and evening for the baby food!But we buy baby food,so I don't know about homemade stuff!It might be the same!idk.lol

Answer 5

hi....stop stressing that's the first thing....my daughter is 5 months and has been having dinner for 1 month now i believe you should probably offer him more meals he will tell you if he wants it or if he doesn't

Good luck
