So I'm spoon feeding my 4 month old, currently it's just cereal. I know he's supposed to eat his full bottle along with any solids he gets. Should I wait some minutes before giving him the bottle or just right after he eats the cereal? I feel he won't eat a full bottle with the oz of cereal from the bowl. And did anybody start other solids before 6 months?
yes she gave us the okay at his 4 month checkup, although i started it a few days earlier anyway. for allergies, you do one food only for 3-5 days before introducing another. it took about a month before getting through all the foods. he has no allergies and does great on them. their poop does change and gets thicker, but that's normal. and he doesnt always drink all his formula, but it's okay as long as they're getting enough.
@jgled000, were you worried about food allergies? Did the doc give the okay for solids? I'm nervous of food allergies or him not digesting it that well.
we started baby food at 4 months, and he did pretty well. we only gave 1/2 of the stage one each feeding and did a bottle about an hour after. now at 7 months he eats a whole stage 2 at one feeding and will usually take a bottle 1 5-2 hours after, depending how long it had been since the last.
I would wait a hour after being spoon fed so they don't end up with a stomach ache. I did that with my first and he did pretty well with it. He would always leave like an once or two untouched but would go back and fourth within the half hour the bottle was made. Keep gas drops and gripe water on hand just in case of gas and such.
@carolannee, When I worked with the infant class parents would usually wait a hour after they are spoon fed and then gave them a bottle it worked out great for most babies :)
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Trigger. Lost baby

Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
Hey I’m 26 with two children #myfirstpost
Okay I’ll be real and explained why I joined, I didn’t know I could be looked up or anyone would actually see this post, I was informed someone I know has been stealing pics and I came to look and see what’s going on if any of mine were on there or anyone else I knew. I just typed until it let me post since it was required before I could look around on the app.
Oh okay! Thanks! He's doing good with the spoon. I might give him sometime on the spoon still.
