My LO will be five months next week. He has been having cereal and some fruits for breakfast in the morning after his bottle per dr. advice to start solids for the past two weeks.
He weighed 16 pds at 4 month check up and 26 1/2" long. He likes the food and opens wide and swallows and ummmmms as he eats. I only feed him a tablespoon or two.
He was moved to 4 hour EASY at 4 months and takes 8 oz at every feeding. 7,11,3,and 7.
He also gets 2 ounces juice for ongoing constipation issues (way before we started solids and introducing fruit has helped that issue).
Today, for his 3 and 7 feeding, 8 oz was not enough, he drank 10 oz. I tried to hold him at 8 but he cried and cried and would not go to bed until I fed him the extra 2 ounces.
Do you think I should introduce another meal or wait to see if it is a growth spirt. If I wait to see if it is a growth spirt, how long should I wait?
Thanks
