    My two wen tin today for their 4 month. Because they are already on rice cereal for reflux they suggested introducing oatmeal 1 or 2 times a day. Any tips on how you all worked it in during the day.

    When I started solids at 6 months, I started out with ONE meal because their main source of nutrition/food should be formula. Bottle feed them and then feed them the oatmeal within an hour of it. PIck a time of day.. I chose supper time for Evan, but with the twins the meal was in the middle of the afternoon after a nap.

    We also started with one meal a day. I gave it to them as a lunch, within half an hour of a bottle. GL!

    We did it in the late afternoon about an hour after a bottle. When I first started I wasnt consistent with doing it everyday and I only did one baby at a time on that day. I wanted them to get the hang of it before I started doing them together and everyday. GL and have fun.

    We started with one meal at dinner time. They were already in daycare and I wanted to be the one to do the feeding.

    We started with one meal in the morning. We chose morning so we had plenty of time to see for reactions. We only added a second meal at 7 months (but we started at 6 months).

    I started around 4 1/2 months but didn't do it every night until closer to 5 1/2 months. Bf and then about an hour later offered "dinner" and we fed both at the same time. We added breakfast around 6 1/2 months and lunch between 8-9 months.
