Baby girl has her first taste of solid foods today and absolutely loved her cereal. She's 5 months…

Always start the first time flavors with 3 bites only. So you can see how she reacts to it. Those 3 bites should be her only solid bites all day the rest milk. Every day add a bite more of the same flavor for 3 days. After those 3 days try the next flavor and do it the same way. 3 bites and increase the bites every day. If baby hasn't had any reaction you can see if she'll eat the whole jar. I gave my son a jar foe breakfast a jar for lunch and a jar before bed. Milk for the rest of the day. Keep the same flavor all day until you try the next flavor. And always try the veggies first

After writing all that I just realized you said cereal lol. Is she on baby food too or just the cereal?

the ped. told me dont think of how much, think of it as ur baby learning to eat, so in other words one day they may eat 1oz ,other days just 2 spoons. he said soon you will see and he will give you signs.

yes alot of food goes to waste. but give it couple weeks.

I was told make an oz more than she will normally drink in a bottle and pour that extra oz in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of formula.

I feed Adalynn twice a day now, but you start off with once a day and right now she eats half a container each time (I feed her baby cereal in the same type of container that I've washed out) and start with stage 1 foods

Thank you ladies!
