First time mom solid feeding questions?
My son is 6 months old and has been on solids for 2 or 3 weeks now. He has an 8 ounce bottle every 6 hours. Up until now Ive been giving him about half a container of stage 1 gerber food for lunch and then another half close to bed time. The guide lines I read say he should have 1/4c of fruit and 1/4c of vegetables a day. If I give him the solids first (which I've been doing but a much smaller amount than the guidelines) I'm afraid he might not want all the bottle which I know is the most important part. If I give the bottle first and the solids later I would think he would be thirsty. So my questions are: When do you give solids? before or after a bottle? and if afterward do you give any drink to go along with it? I know he should have little to no juice a day. Sorry if this rambles alot I wasn't sure how to word my question.
