starting solid... how much to feed?

[shuchisingh]

formula would be lot better than three solids at this age. you would need to slowly introduce solids, settle each meal in and then start the next. and it's not very reliable either - babies change their preferences and their amounts all the time. you'll see your bub refusing to eat food X which he absolutely loved a while back and refuse food altogether some time. and polish off whole bowl next day etc etc etc. the thing is their system is too immature to handle too much solids; and milk would be the primary "food" source for a few more months to come.

Yes, I know I should not replace milk for solid at this age. I just wanted him to taste different food before we mix them together. I am just giving him feed teaspoon of solid just once a day after his regular breastmilk feed, and trying not to reduce his daily milk intake at all.
