Answer #1

I would feed it first and then let it nurse.

Always start with vegetables because once they taste fruit they arent going to want to go back. LOL!

Personally I would have started with rice cereal but the potatoes are probably ok.

My question though is, why did you ask the question AFTER you did it? If it was dangerous it would have been a little too late by then.

Answer #2

mostly yes, my child was eating oatmeal, cream of wheat, grits and all those soft solid baby foods like peas, carrots, potatoes, yams and stuff at around 6 months. just dont feed baby a lot all at once its stomach is only around the size of its fist, give or take a little. they dont have much room for extra food at that age.

Answer #3

potato twice a day is prob to much for your baby, maybe puree some apples and give them to your baby at lunch then potato at dinner. I’m sure your doing everything right. you will be able to tell if your baby is having to much
