Question about amount of solids.
« on: July 05, 2009, 13:05:16 pm »
Hi there!!!

Just a quick question.  My DS started solids about 2 weeks ago.  i am following the BW technique in term of giving him his bottle when he first gets up then waiting an hour then giving him solids.  i have introduced the following foods sweet potatoe, avocado, and bananas.  My question is he doesn't eat that much, maybe a teaspoon, is this ok?  I know that formula is the main source of nutrition in his diet so I am not overly concerned, but wondering if I switch something around so he takes a little more.  What do you guys think?  Oh, only eating one meal at day right now if you want to call it that.  LOL

Thanks

He sounds like he's doing fine, just keep doing it gradually and he'll eat more when he's ready.  At the minute it's all a bit of fun so try to enjoy!

i agree lukemom! you are just trying to get him used to tastes and textures at this point, a teaspoon or two is fine! he will increase himself as he gets used to it...

My lo starting eating solids about 4 weeks ago and that is how it was in the beginning. Only this week he started eating more; now he eats two meals and about 3-4 Tablespoons at each meal. He will get the hang of it, just keep persisting!
