: Help! I am totally clueless about feeding my son. He is four months old and we've been given the go ahead to start him on rice cereal. But, I have no clue what to do. I know I sound sad, but I just need some suggestions and advice.

: When do I give the cereal? How much to start? Do I continue to give all of his bottles (4 6oz. per day)? When would I give juice or water?

: Any book titles or web sites would also be greatly appreciated. My son is a charm and sleeps well. I just don't know what to do.

Thomas' schedule (5 1/2 months)

830 1-2 oz food(cereal fruit)
930 6 oz bottle
100 6oz bottle
400 60z bottle
600 2oz veggies or cereal and a couple oz of formula
900 6-7 oz bottle.

He has been on this sort of schedule for over a month with the food amounts graually increasing. I was trying food after bottles but that didn't work for us. You will figure out what works best for your child.
