Starting new foods for 7 month old

Mevitha · Sep 9, 2009

I have a 7 month old baby going to daycare. His current schedule is

6 am- 6-7 oz of formula milk
9-9:30 am - cereal+veg (carrot/peas)
11:00 am- 6-7 oz of formula milk
2:00 pm- cereal+applesauce
3:00 pm-6-7 oz of formula milk
7:00 pm- 6-7 oz of formula milk
11:00 pm-6-7 oz of formula milk

Please let me know what I need to change as I want him to start having more solids. He is grabbing our foods, but does not put it in his mouth.
We have start moong dal puree for him since 2 days before his 7 pm milk.

I asked the doc about starting whole milk yoghurt,orange juice or finger foods. I was asked to wait for yoghurt and juice after he is a year old and for finger foods once his teeth comes.
I want to increase his Vitamin C intake esp since he is going to daycare.
Friends, please provide your experience here.
