Can I check with you mummies that if bb 1st time taking semi-solid, can we straight away make about half a bowl of cereal for him or add some to the milk and let him taste from the bottle 1st?

Depends on individual baby I think. I feed mine 200-240ml followed by 40ml cereal with 40ml milk. Then he sleeps thru for the next 12 hrs
200-240mls of milk? My girl is on 180mls only. Sufficient? she nvr asked fr more n I yet to feed her cereal daily though.

n mummies, did u feed bb water after they started semi solid?

So with a tablespoon of cereal to bb's normal milk, after consuming the cereal still must give him the usual amt of milk or make lesser or after 2hrs then give milk?

As long as ur girl is gaining weight well n not fussing for more milk, I think she is fine. Girls tend to drink lesser anyway.
I started feeding water when I introduced solids.

Yes, add cereal to BB's milk. It should be very watery when u first introduced coz it's for tasting. It's better to give him milk first before cereal coz milk is still the main food for the first year.

Haha, just now tried feeding bb a tablespoon of cereal with about 40ml of milk and it's not very watery lei but anyway he manages to swallow all of it. Feed it as a snack in between milk feeds...:)

I started feeding water when bb turns 6mths old. Now with cereal as an added snack, I will feed him some water after the cereal so he will not get heaty...:)

One of my fren's bb is starting to reject milk after starting on solids. Does anyone of your bb rejects milk too after introducing solids? A bit worried though cos it will be a big headache if bb refuses to drink milk...

Mummies,

Can I ask how do you boil small quantity of porridge? Do you steam the carrots (or other food) first then put into the porridge or put in and boil together? Any recipe books to recommend?

the purpose of feeding solid is to teach them how to eat fm spon , so better to spoon feed den adding to bottle cos elder ppl sometimes lazy slowly feed so they just add in bottle n feed them .. my mom used to did it when she look after my boys last time lol ..

n mummies, did u feed bb water after they started semi solid?
yes , i will start feed water after starting semi solid but not much still , just a few tea spoon cos i usually latch her after that =)

Yah.. She indeed is gaining weight. ^^

Tml she is turning to 6 mths. These few days I fed her 1 tablespoon rice cereal with 40mls bm. Only can last her fr an hour. After that she will ask fr milk.

Should I replace her milk to full cereal or porridge during her feeding time? N how?
