DD turned 5 months and started her with rice cereal and she's on her 4th day. Ped said to try 3-5 days of a type of food, as well as, increasing meals and portions per appetite. After rice cereal, do I try a diff kind of cereal (oat, barley, whole wheat) or green vegs or rice cereal & green vegs? I offer her rice cereal for breakfast so when do I add lunch & dinner?
Offered her straw cup with water like others on diff thread with the "finger on straw trick" which she can drink from just to the lips but not quite swallowing which explains the water dripping. When I offer her a sippy, she just chews it. While she's learning the cup, I'm feeding with bottle. How do I easily transition her to the straw cup with formula aside from water so she gets her proper amount of milk and when? Does this mean she should be on the bottle with formula and straw cup with water until she can drink a fair amount of water from the cup then that'll be the time until then?
Any inputs are greatly appreciated by this first-time SAHM...
So confusing. Never thought this will be so complicated. TIA!
