Sample feeding menu for a 6-month-old?
⚡ Short answer: At 6 months, solids are meant for introduction, with breast milk/formula still the main food — 1-2 meals a day, single-ingredient purees, just a teaspoon to taste.

At 6 months, starting solids is about tasting and exploring — not filling up. Breast milk or follow-up formula is still the main food, and solids are 1-2 meals a day, just a few teaspoons of food per meal.
Here's what a sample day might look like:
Morning: Breast milk/formula (baby eats as much as they want)
Lunch (first taste): 1-2 teaspoons of finely mashed carrot or squash puree (prepared with nothing — no fat, water, or salt)
Afternoon: Breast milk/formula
Evening (second taste): 1-2 teaspoons of apple-pear puree
Night: Breast milk/formula feeding as usual
Always try each new food alone and 3-4 days apart to watch for allergies. At 6 months, smooth puree is ideal; finger foods aren't needed yet. After solids, keep giving breast milk/formula so baby doesn't go hungry.
In the first weeks, your baby might spit most of it out or refuse — that's completely normal; don't force it, wait a few days, and try again. Within a week or two you'll see them start to accept it more.
