How much solids should I give my lo
« on: December 01, 2005, 12:20:08 pm »
I have just started giving my DD solids.

She had 1tsp of powdered pure baby rice for last couple of days, I increased it to 0.5tbsp full today and she still wanted more.  Is 0.5tbsp enough when she is starting solids?

When do I increase to two meals a day?

As long as she isn't getting constipated I'd give her more when she seems to want it.  Babies will let you know when they've had enough!  We went to two meals a day only a week or so after starting solids.

I have to be careful because my DD loves solids and will eat much more than her tummy can hold.  Then she barfs.  Or, she eats too much and then won't eat her next bottle.  So I would gradually increase  her intake and make sure she takes her next bottle.  If all is well, give her more.

Thanks for your replies.  She isn't constipated, so far.
