Your eating habits

While continuing to give 4-5 feedings of an iron fortified infant formula (24-32 ounces) and 4 or more tablespoons of an iron fortified cereal each day, you can now start to give well-cooked, strained, or mashed vegetables or commercially prepared baby foods. Start with one tablespoon of a mild tasting vegetable, such as green beans, peas, squash or carrots and gradually increase to 4-5 tablespoons one or two times each day.

  4-5 bottles a day.  Check.
4 tbspns cereal daily. Check.
4-5 tbspns veggies daily.  Check.


Start fruits about a month after starting vegetables and again, gradually increase to 4-5 tablespoons one or two times each day. You can use peeled, cooked, or canned fruits (but only those packed in light syrup or water) that have been blenderized or strained. You can also begin to offer 2-4 ounces of 100% fruit juices. Start by mixing one part juice with two parts of water and offer it in a cup only.
 
Well, seeing how I'm keeping an eye on your weight, we're skipping the juice and halving the fruits.

Delay giving finger foods or meat and other protein foods until he is eight to nine months old. Some parents start meats earlier, but since many kids don't seem to like baby food meats as much as cereal, fruits, and vegetables, many parents go through all of the varieties of those foods before starting meats, and their baby is usually about eight or nine months old by that time.
 
Got it.
