My baby girl is 4 months old and I'm introducing rice cereal. My questions..
How much should I give her?
Is she going to be pooping more because of the change?
How often should I feed her?
Please help especially on the poop question. How do I know if its upsetting her tummy?

    Dr told me to introduce just mix a tablespoon with formula to a runnier consistancy and spoon feed . She told me just once a day and to introduce only give every 3 days to make sure no allergy reaction...then every other...til everyday. My son git gassier but did fine!

    Damn phone. I also think she might be teething..

    @Kindell I would feed him according to how he feels. I plan on waiting to feed fruits and veggies til 6 months and start with once a day wth mixed

    @augustbaby yea I just started once a day so I hope it doesn't upset her tummy to much. Her 4 month shots are on Monday so Ill mention food to her doc

    How long do they usually go in betwween feedings if you start rice? My daughter just got done eating 8 oz. She's gonna explode if she keeps going this way. When would be the best time to feed her cereal during the day and how many times a day?
