I would feed hiim the little jars of the stage one veggies and fruits and see how he does with them. Also, when he is done with the little jar give him his breast milk/formula. My sone is 21 months old and at about 6 months I had him on cereal in the morning, a bottle about 2 hours later, baby food for lunch and a bottle, a bottle between lunch and dinner, then for dinner I would give him another little jar of baby food and a bottle for dinner, then a bottle 2 hours later, and then cereal before bed with whatever of a bottle he wanted. I made sure he had a bottle with every meal even if he wouldn't take all of it, he would take some of it and that ensured me he was still getting plenty of his required nutrients. It sounds like a lot of food but he may eat a little bit a jar at first, you know, only a few bites. But they catch on quick. I did this schedule for about 2 months before I transitioned him to table foods like potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes from my plate. He loved table food and I found that he was less interested in the bottle when I moved him to table food. I still gave him his formula though and let him take what he wanted. By 10 months old I couldn't get him to take formula anymore. I talked to my pediatrician and they told me to go ahead and transition him to milk. He is a far better eater than my oldest son and still is. My advice would be to introduce baby food and if he takes to it keep with it.
