I started Paige on baby rice about 2 weeks ago now...She's been having baby rice or apple and banana cereal for 2 weeks up until a few days ago when I started giving her another meal at dinner. So like baby rice for breakfast and cereal for dinner. Now I want to know what to do next like, if she has cereal for breakfast, and a jar of veg or fruit at dinner or mashed food of whatever we're having exc' meat etc' I know about that. So confused about when she has 3 meals, when she has milk, and what she has at each meal??

I can't remember my exact schedule with my kids because my youngest is 5 Sad But I will tell you what my aunt does with her baby.....

when she first gets up she has a bottle (6am) than she sleeps till about 8am

Then she has cereal with fruit for breakfast.

At about 10:30 or 11 she is due for another bottle.

Than she has lunch at about 12:30

Nap at about 1:30 with a bottle

supper at about 5

bath at 6 and bottle and bed at 7:30

Hope this helps a bit

You can expect her to drink less milk if she is eating more food. Don't get caught up on the amount of ounces she drinks, rather gauge whether you need to try more bottle by the amount of wet diapers she has. I got really freaked out when Jaylon wasn't drinking as many bottles and was reassured by the ped that as long as his urine wasn't really strong and he was having plenty of wet diapers he was fine.

You could try giving her a fruit at lunch time or mix some fruit into her cereal. Only try one new thing at a time so if she has an allergic reaction you will be able to tell what caused it.

I'm sorry I don't remember how old Paige is, but you could get her one of those mesh things that holds fruit inside so all she gets is the juice of the fruit. http://www.amazon.com/none-43124-Munc hkin-Fresh-Feeder/dp/B0006N8XIC they are the best thing in the world IMO
