I just started rice cereal today w/ DD (5 mos - breastfed). She loved it. But even after this being my 3rd kid, I can't remember how to start solids!
How long do i do rice cereal before starting another type?
When do I start fruits/veggies?
When do I start more than 1 meal a day?
Thanks!!!

depends on who you talk to ;) The basic rules (from what I've read) are:
each food for 4 days before introducing new one
solids after nursing/just for practice
My doctor says: cereal for 1-2 wks first then start with fruits/veggie
other posts I've read say start with avacado, sweet potato, banana etc so as not to have the constipation/low nutrient value with cereal
I don't know much about the second meal things. I think 8 months?;
