    My daughter eats half a jar of veggies and half a jar of fruit at dinner time. And tonight I started her on grape juice and water (4:1). She's only having solids at dinner right now, its bottles with cereal in them the rest of the day.

    I've been wondering the same. My daughter is 5 months and is doing great on solids. As of right now I give her oatmeal with applesauce every morning and then for a late dinner I give her a veggie. I don't know if I should throw in a lunch too since she does well.

    @kcike812 I don't know if I should be feeding her more either.. it seems like if I feed her more food, she doesn't get enough bottles during the day. I'm not really sure how to work this out, lol.

    I kinda just went off my daughter. When I felt she was ready for more I gave her half a jar and if she acted like she wanted more then I gave her the other half. I still gave her the same number of bottles she normally had but I would give her less in the bottle after the New feeding. She is 8 months and I just started 3 times a day.

    I give her pear,apple, or white grape juice 2oz juice with 2oz water. I always give it to her in a sippy not a bottle.

  • MorgDeeBeeMorgDeeBee

    My Dr. Told me that juice has no nutritional value and that it would honestly only make my baby fat. Any input? I'm on the fence about it.

    You dont need juice, like you dont need cereal or oatmeal.


    There is a recent artical about baby foods. I dont remember where I saw it though.

    I have 6 little bowls with lids I use


    I put 4 teaspoons of rice or oatmeal mixed with 1 oz of milk in each of the 4 bowls.. then take

    1 container of veggies
    1 container of fruit
    1 jar of meat.

    I seperate them evenly among the 4 of the bowls

    Then in the other 2 bowls I take 1 container of fruit and seperate it 1/2 and 1/2

    I put the container on them all then in the drug they go.

    This will last me for 2 full days. Hers the menu:

    DAY 1 and DAY 2: __________________

    Snack: BM

    Breakfast:
    1 bowl of Oatmeal, fruit, veggies & meat

    Snack: BM

    Lunch:
    1 bowl of fruit

    Snack: BM

    Dinner:
    1 bowl of Oatmeal, fruit, veggies & meat

    Snack: BM

    Snack: BM
    ____________________________

    So every 2 days my baby will only consume:

    1 container of veggies
    2 containers of fruit
    1 container of meat
    Plus oatmeal..
