Christian had his shot today ..all went well cried for 2 min. So he now weighs 17.6 lbs, he is 26 inches long, and his head is 44.5 . She gave me the chart for starting solids because he sits up and gets up with little help, holds his head since birth and also because he drinks over 35 oz daily. Yippie my big boy is sure big!!!!!!!!!!!

i just don't know when i would start feeding him twice a day, then 3 times. and i don't know when i start giving him a fruit and a vegetable during the same meal.

basically, i guess i don't know how to go about increasing his food intake until he's eating 3 normal meals a day.

we're only on day 4, right now i'm giving him 1 tablespoon of rice cereal mixed with water and 1/2 a thing of sweet potatoes between his afternoon bottles. with just that one meal we're already down to 4 bottles a day from 5.

yeah i was confused too.

how much cereal is he getting? 7-8 tablespoons with 3-4oz of milk or water right? if so, then you give him that for breakfast with some milk.
they say for lunch you give half the veggies with half fruit.
and dinner time some veggies and cereal .
and last feeding is before bed time should be milk.

if he wont take his milk after his meals you can use them inbetween feeding as a snack .

Increase his solids after 2 weeks to full servings. If you see he is having a hard time poo-ing get a jar of prunes and mix in 2 spoons in his other fruits. and dont be alarmed if he wont poo everyday, its normal . his body is adjusting. and also they say that at 4 months there is no need to boil he water anymore...Happy feeding !! lol

christian loves food too...they are so alike! long lost twins!
