Question by Natosha Shaw: How much cereal or baby food should my six month old baby be eating?
I just recently got my baby to start eating cereal. She used to keep spitting it out. She still will not eat baby food. I’m worried that she is too dependant on formula. How do I correct this and how do I ensure she is getting enough food and nutrition? How much baby food and cereal should she be eating at six months of age? Any advice is appreciated.

Best answer:

Answer by GGM’s Alter Ego: Mizz Beezy
I am going to have to say I would not recommend any cereal. It causes severe gas and constipation in babies, and has little to no nutritional value. Babies can survive and thrive on breast milk and/or formula for a year, and even more than a year. So it’s not a bad thing that she’s dependent on the formula. But at six months, i would start to try to introduce regular people food that you could mush with a food processor.

I have been feeding my little boy solids since he was about 5 months old, he is now 9 months and he will hardly eat any baby food! Mayber 1/2 a jar to 3/4 a jar a day, plus rice cereal in his night bottle. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get him to eat more? I am a breast feeding working mother and I pump at work, however, my milk supply is getting lower and lower and I would like to start him on more solids. Thanks for anybody’s helpful hints!

I have started my 6 month old on solids, about half a jar during the day. Do I need to feed him milk or water before or after this? Or can i just give him solid food?

Usually I feed him his food right from the cupboard, but now he’s starting on meats and I think it’d be a good idea to give them to him warm, since I always eat meat hot.

What did you feed your infant when they got old enough for solids? I don’t want to feed her our dinners because they have salt or other herbs. If I only give her a little sauce can she have spaghetti? What about olives and stuff. I already know I can give her green beans I just wanted a larger variety. Also she won’t eat any of the meat baby food so I worry she isn’t getting enough protein.

My 8 month old little girl refuses to eat baby food anymore and I am having a hard time coming up with things to feed her at meal times. She loves Gerber puffs, Cheerios, pieces of banana, etc. But those don’t seem like good meal options. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Catherine McCord has just released a new video over at weelicious.com, offering some introductory tips on how to start feeding food to your baby.  The video covers topics such as what food to start with, how to blend the food until it’s smooth enough, and what to do with baby rice.  There’s also a bit about getting babies used to cutlery – it’s never too early to get your little one familiar with the feel of a spoon.

All in all, a pretty useful video.  Check it out here.
