Our ped gave us the green light to start the cereal with Ariella. I’m a little confused as to how to start introducing it to her. He said to go ahead with barley since the rice constipates her pretty badly. He said something about adding one tablespoon of cereal in her milk but I didn’t ask him for how many oz and how to feed her. Sorry but what is the correct schedule of introducing the solids??

Do you mean to thicken her feedings or to start from a spoon? For the spoon I just did 1 tablespoon and added some of her formula to it until it was smooth and a little bit runny. The I started with small bites and gave it to her once a day. It may take a bit for her to learn how to keep it in her mouth.

For thickening feedings I use 1/2 tablespoon of oatmeal per ounce of formula. You have to fool around until you get the right consistency.
