Solids and Formula

I have started LO on a tablespoon of oat cereal this week. She seems to like it. Only part I dont like is when she does eat a bit of cereal (about 30 min after a bottle) she totally skips the next bottle. Didnt wake up to make up for it either.

Is this normal when starting as their tummies are adjusting to having more in there?

What time of the day do you give her the cereals?

 

I started giving cereals around 5 months. At first I was giving it to DD at lunchtime, and have now moved on to breakfast in preparation of giving her veggies at lunch. When she wakes up I give her a bottle, then we play for about 20-30 minutes, then I offer her the cereal. After that I offer her the bottle again, to which she'll only drink one oz, but after we play some more and I prepare her for her nap she'll drink the rest of the bottle. She may be drinking a little less formula for her morning bottle, but only about 1 oz less, so no big deal. I don't know if it's because she's active during the day that it makes her hungry enough to have formula and solids.

I tried at 1pm after one of her biggest bottles (6 to 7oz) then at 330/4pm she had only a half oz. I wonder if she's just not ready? DD has always been a super light eater.

alizabethanne:

it doesn't sound like enough to make her skip the next bottle. Maybe change the time you are offering it?

I tried again today. 1tbsp at about 6 when we ate dinner and she is almost around her regular formula oz. I will stick with evening cereal for now. Seems to be a bit of a better time. Thanks :)
