How many times a day should my baby eat solid foods?
When you introduce solid foods at around four to six months of age, you’ll only feed your baby one serving of solid food a day. Servings are very small – no larger than one teaspoon to one tablespoon. As your baby ages, it’s okay to increase number of servings of solid foods per number of months that you’ve been feeding. For example, if you started at four months, you can give one solid feeding. At five months, you can give two, and so on. The average one year old eats six times a day, so that’s the goal for where you’re going with solid foods.
