how many times a day should you feed your baby 6 months old?

Answer 1

As many times as he wants food.........

Answer 2

My boy is the same age as your baby, and he is thriving, but not fat. He has about 800ml of milk a day, and also 3 meals (solids a day). For breakfast he always has 1 piece of fruit (a pear or an apple, the one specifically for kids as these are smaller and juicier and tastier) scraped off with a spoon in a small baby bowl, mixed with apricot flakes, to make it thicker, and also add a bit of pear juice to make it a bit softer in texture if too thick. For lunch he has baby rice, and for dinner has either mashed potatoes and carrots with milk added in, or mashed potatoes and green beans, or pasta. I mostly make my own dinner for him, sometimes use meals from jars. I always make sure he has his dinner with us so we involve him in the 'family unit', if you like. He also has deserts such as cheesecake (these are strictly from jars, because I don't want to 'experiment' when it comes to sugar content. All these depend on how hungry your baby is, on the amount of activity he/ she does during the day. Mine is in the baby walker and has been for the last 2 or 3 months, so he uses his energy up and therefore gets hungry. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

uncertain so you might grant a toddler that small toddler food in any respect. Why did you even initiate? I gave my daughters a sprint cereal of their bottle at 3 months to help them sleep, however the nursed something of the day. (docs hate the cereal interior the bottle element because of the fact they are saying a toddler can choke, yet I on no account positioned adequate cereal interior the bottle to make it stable in any respect.) If she's no longer crying and performing like she's have been given a tummy discomfort, then i would not difficulty approximately giving her a sprint toddler food, yet i would not supply it to her extra suitable than only interior the morning and doubtless a sprint in the past bedtime to help her sleep longer. She extremely would not choose for it yet. I continually only gave mine a sprint in the past bedtime to help them sleep longer. they did no longer get solids 2 or thrice an afternoon until they have been six months or extra. (maximum docs will inform you to attend until they are 9 months...i discover maximum docs did no longer improve their own young ones and have no thought what they are talking approximately and what they are asking mothers to undergo attempting to maintain a six month old toddler finished with formula or nursing. :) besides, do no longer do to a great number of the solids yet. it can cause them to get extreme gasoline, consequently crying. once you do circulate to solids often, attempt getting clean vegetables and fruit if achieveable to steam and then mash. Mine enjoyed them extra suitable and it extremely is much less stressful to transition to table food. the two mine extremely did no longer look after jar ingredients except it substitute into fruit of a few style. stable success!!!

Answer 4

When my little one was 6 months, she was hungry constantly. I fed her a good breakfast, lunch and supper, with snacks in between and some pablum and bedtime to make sure she slept. A bottle of milk throughout the day helps a lot as well.

Answer 5

You should feed them as many times as they are hungry...They will let you know if they aren't......I use to sit my kids down with us at meal times.....3 times a day and then add in a couple of times a day for snack or what ever.....If they are hungry they will eat if not they won't....

Answer 6

Once a day at most:

"6 - 7 months Offer solids once a day, at most. Many start out offering solids every few days or even less often."

I do baby-led introduction to solids and all I do is if baby wants what I am eating when I am eating I give him some (as long as it doesn't contain honey, dairy, nuts, wheat or too much salt or sugar). Sometimes he eats it and sometimes he plays with it. It also encourages me to eat more fruits and veggies and use less salt. His current favorties are chili and pineapple.
