Can somebody help me out and tell me what you did when you first started your baby on solids?
My son's doctor talks really fast and didn't really give too much detail, he just said that Henry's ready for solids.
How many times a day do I feed him solids? Do I give him solids and formula at the same time, or separately? Will it reduce how much formula he takes?

its best to wait until at least 6 months of age to start solids. then start introducing one new food every 3 or so days. try to to mix foods until baby is a bit older. This is to ensure you know what baby reacts to if there is a reaction. my go to first food is avocado and then carrots. I waited a week between each food to be safe. once a day is plenty for starters

Should I feed it to him when he's hungry or no @showersoverflowers?

Maybe around his "lunch time bottle" for starters. babies really do not have the oral coordination to eat off the spoon, mash with their mouths, and swallow at first so it may be a while before you notice a decrease in formula being used

They say don't start at 4 months if baby isn't ready if your pedi said kiddo is ready kiddo is probably ready. Mine said my little lady was ready so I started my daughter on baby oatmeal at 4 months and in the morning we did one bottle then oatmeal then bottles the rest of the day, at five months I introduced stage 1 solids so I did bottle, oatmeal, bottle stage 1 solid (apple, sweet potatoe, peas) then bottles the rest of the day then at 6 months I added solid in at dinner with bottles all after that

Is your baby still content with just the bottle or is he still hungry quickly after?

Sorry a little confused @kreeblim, so at 5 months, you fed your baby a bottle, oatmeal, and a solid all in one sitting?

He's very interested in what we're eating @annasmomma12

Have you tried any infant cereal yet?

If not I would start mixing his milk/formula with a lil mb a tsp to start

No, we're gonna skip that and go straight to stage 1 solids @annasmomma12

Well I saw from your page he's five months old so I'd say as long as he can sit up then that should be fine

I just don't know when to feed it to him. Like right before or after I feed him formula @annasmomma12?

First should be fine

@keepingupwithhenry, it was bottle play time when she was hungry again id give her oatmeal, then after her nap she'd get another bottle then play then stage 1 solids

Yes before and I recommend lunch time feeding so you both are more awake
