I started dd on cereal about three weeks ago (I tried to hold out for 6 months, but she had been bfing 8-9 times a day for a couple of months and then suddenly started waking in the middle of the night to eat...plus I consider her 2 weeks older than she technically is because she was 15 days late...the due date was very reliable!)...anyway...
1) When do you start feeding solids twice a day? Three times a day?
2) I quit eating meat (still eat seafood, so not a vegetarian) eight years ago after breast cancer diagnosis (but am EBFing out of the good breast!!), and would like to consider that meatless diet for my dd. Have any of y'all done so satisfactorly with respect to outside influences (i.e. children's friends, your own families, etc.)??
3) I'm currently mixing the Earth's Best Organic Whole Grain Rice Cereal (iron fortified) with spring water because my ebm is very limited (remember bfing out of one breast!). DD eats it pretty well, although the bm makes it taste better, I imagine. Do y'all think this is ok, or should I mix it with formula?
I appreciate any feedback and value ALL opinions!!
