Hey....Quick question for you...It seems
like we started our babies on solids
around the same time and I know you have
breastfed exclusively like I have. What
type of schedule are you on right now with
feeding solids and also nursing. I
remember in a post you said you were
following a paper the doctor gave you.
(if it wasn't you, .I apologize). Our
ped didn't really give us a schedule or
anything to follow. I've been gradually
increasing but i'm not really sure what I
should be up to know. He was 6 months
old on 10th and we started cereal last
.Monday. Any input is welcome...Thanks
so much!

The paperwork I got from my ped's office
was photocopied out of a book or
something, from the looks of it. But it
basically was a general guideline, saying
that it's best to start veggies before
fruits because babies will quickly learn
to prefer the sweet tastes, and what to
look for as far as possible reactions to
the foods.
What .I've been doing with .Aly is setting
up certain "meal" times. I feed her
cereal mixed with veggies (sweet potatoes
this week) around noon and again around
6pm, and otherwise nurse her on demand.
She doesn't really "fill up" at her little
meal times, so she usually gets a boob
within an hour afterward.
I've been pretty much playing it by ear,
with some help from the mommies here of
course.
.I'm sorry, did that answer your question
at all?

Yes. Thanks. That is basically what
.I've been doing too. It's just
reassuring to hear from others experiences
as well! We started with some apples and
i'm going to do either carrots or sweet
potatoes next. Thanks again!
