I started trying DD on rice cereal monday. She will eat a few bites one time, then really doesn't seem to get it the next. I tried Monday night, Tuesday morning and evening and Wednesday morning and late afternoon. How often should I be trying to do this? I don't let her get upset or anything, so it's not really torture for her to be in the bouncy seat and try for a few minutes. If she were fussing, or flatly refusing I would not force it and would wait a few weeks. But so far she doesn't seem to mind. Though she also doesn't seem to care whether I do this or not. So my questions is can I start doing it three times a day? She's not hardly eating anything at all, but would this help to establish a good routine and get practice? Or should I stick to once or twice a day.
Also, how long did it take your babies to get the hang of the eating thing? And do you keep them on rice cereal for a while before introducing anything else? Instead just thickening the cereal up once they get used to it?

I would just do once or twice a day at this age.
