yes, but these last 3 nights have been *horrible*. i'm starting to wonder if he's teething since he's a slobber machine and always chewing on his hands or sleeve along with these recent torturous nights. or maybe he's going through another growth spurt.

he acts like he'd take more if i gave him more but i don't think he needs more than 6oz at a time. once he burps and realizes there's no more he's fine so i think he's just a little piggy who'd drink more if he had it but doesn't need it.

oh boy the saliva is a big indicator of little teeth coming! touch his bottom gum and see if he will scream ...if he does jerk back or cry ..you got a teether! lol

if he is doing his nights there is no need to increase his amount ...lucky you!

Gerber has stages... 1 2 and 3 ... its based on age... 1 is for beginners, 2 i think starts at 6 months and 3 is like 9+ months.. the higher up the thicker it is and chunkier.

stage 2 starts at 6 months? we missed that train... Shocked we're still struggling to get .alyvia to eat her stage 1 foods! She can eat it fine, but she hates the taste of, well, everything unless it's mixed with cereal. Neutral

not a big deal, trace is on stage one and not too fond of baby food....turns out he likes table food much better. some babies just arent impressed by puress Very
Happy
also, a lot of babies arent truly ready for solids all together until much later than we may think. no need to push it.
