Hey Aimee....how much does Hannah eat per feed? I found Zaara only eats half those watties container each feed. She has just started 2 feeds a day now. Seems happy with it.

So is that normal? or do you think she does not eat enough? Since I am at work she only has milk in the morning, then at 12pm and then again at 5pm (when I get home). In between she has her fruits and veges. In the evening however she has milk every 2-3 hours.]]> Tue, 18 Apr 2006 11:02:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=40145&title=solids#40145 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=40002&title=solids#40002 Author: lizzle

Jake was a guts from the word go. We gave him breakfast and dinner from about six months, as well as bottles every four/five hours or so. Then fuond out at daycare, they were also giving him dinner. So he had two dinners pretty early. And about a cup a time. Then, if Lewis or I were eating, he'd have some of that too. However, Jake is extremely active and obviously needed the extra "input". He still eats a lot unless ill.]]> Mon, 17 Apr 2006 13:35:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=40002&title=solids#40002 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=39992&title=solids#39992 Author: nikkitheknitter

I found this part really hard... Hannah was on one feed per day for aaaages until I realised she should be eating more and she was on 2 feeds before I moved her up to three feeds a few weeks later... so big jump!!!

If she's that into food then you could chuck another on now... she's close to 6 months anyway.

I don't know if there is a "too much" for babies? Well... maybe a whole cup might be a bit excessive. Try increasing her meal size a little bit at a time until you see that she is starting to 'finish']]> Mon, 17 Apr 2006 12:01:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=39992&title=solids#39992 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=39888&title=solids#39888 Author: aimeejoy

Ok, have a further question... How much should I be feeding Hannah? I give her a full milk feed then wait 10-15 mins and give her solids (fruit or vege mixed with baby rice), but she just keeps wanting more... How much is too much? Also, when did you start with a third feed? I think my plunket nurse said aim for three feeds by 6 months?]]> Sat, 15 Apr 2006 20:58:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=39888&title=solids#39888 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=38104&title=solids#38104 Author: aimeejoy

I started Charlotte on Organic baby rice then moved her on to kumara, carrot and potato. I only fed her vegetables for the first 2 months and then still kept them as her main food for the next few months following that- I had heard that feeding her veges rather than fruit meant that they will eat their veges alot better later on and its easier to introduce fruit after veges than the other way- eg they are less likely to take to veges if they are given fruit first as they prefer sweeter flavours.
Of course some kids will still eat veges fine but I thought I would give it a try. She eats anything and everything and still really loves her veges- I don't know if she was always going to be like that but it seems to make sense to me and I think it may have helped :)]]> Wed, 05 Apr 2006 20:38:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=37798&title=solids#37798 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=37773&title=solids#37773 Author: caitlynsmygirl

A good idea is to make a big lot and freeze some into icecubes then next meal pop them in the microwave and voila cuts down on the cooking

I think I started Jake at three months. Looking back it was too early. I was just soooo excited about it though. can't recall why. Anyway, we started on baby rice. They say do veges first as if you do fruit first they may develop a sweet tooth. Read a mag a few weeks ago that said this was rubbish. Jake ate lots of pumpkin, kumara, bananas, not so much apples, but in Jpaan they were hideously expensive and "someone" kept using his little cans of apples for roast pork. He also loved peas and silverbeet. Now he eats almost anything, but also gets fussy. He will only eat certain things on certain days. ONe thing he loves all the time is weetbix though. He MUST have warm milk however - no sugar ( thanks step-mum!)]]> Thu, 23 Mar 2006 12:22:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=34779&title=solids#34779 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=34746&title=solids#34746 Author: newmum

I started Joey on baby rice as well, we started in the evening although it is recommended that afternoon is best because apparently mosr relaxed like Nikki said. We never had any probs though. I then graduated on to pureed apple, pear, carrot, kumara etc. one type at a time because apparently not supposed to mix at the start to get them used to tastes and check for bad reactions I guess.? anyway now at 7 months he is loving his food and eats anything, LOL, 2 times a day (lunch and dinner), it is so much fun!! ]]> Thu, 23 Mar 2006 10:28:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=34746&title=solids#34746 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=34742&title=solids#34742 Author: Roksana

I think the first foods are just meant to be something easily digested, pureed apple, baby rice etc fit the bill.

I started Han on pureed apple in the afternoon. I only chose afternoon as that was when she and I were most relaxed. (After dinner we were both tired etc)

So yeah... now the real fun begins - a whole new stage!

I started Kobe at lunchtimes and just gave him the can of fruit and vegetables because he wouldnt have a bar of the farex or anything like that, even hated the cereal cans. If you buy the wee cans you can freeze it in an ice cube tray and then when you need it just heat a cube at a time because they dont take much more than one or two cubes to start with so you dont waste a whole can]]> Wed, 22 Mar 2006 10:54:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=34562&title=solids#34562 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=34547&title=solids#34547 Author: daikini

i started tobys first meal as dinner i think, it was more convenient for me...mum said when she was having babies thats when they used to start but now they say lunch. i started gabriel with lunch and it doesnt seem to make a difference as to what meal you start with. if dinner is more convenient go for it.

i think i started with farex cause you only need a really little bit to start with, and pureed apple and or veges. it doesnt really matter i think so long as the consistency is right, almost more liquid than solid to start with. i think i used little cans for the first couple of feeds, 79c and it last for ages.

good luck, feeding gets really interesting and this is when the work begins.   ]]> Wed, 22 Mar 2006 09:01:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=34545&title=solids#34545 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1890&PID=34540&title=solids#34540 Author: aimeejoy

My baby is growing up! Hannah is 5 months today! Anyway, I was going to wait until 6 months but she is starting to try and eat my food so have decided to start solids. So I have 2 questions:

* What did you start giving your baby? Have done a bit of reading and found various things - start with baby rice, start with veges, start with fruit... Not very helpful!

* What time did you start with? I was thinking dinner time after her feed cos she seems to be feeding for longer then and seems a bit grumpy so thought maybe she was hungry? But all the info said start with during the day - cant really work out why tho.

Cant believe shes starting solids already, where have the last 5 months gone...
