As your baby grows, how much more should I be feeding? Is there an age-based serving size? Adjusting portions is natural as your baby grows, especially during growth spurts. While there's no exact guideline by age, a common approach is: your baby's own fist is a good measure for main-course portions at each meal. For vegetables and fruits, you can double that.
6-8 months usually starts with 2-3 tablespoons of puree; 9-12 months climbs toward a teacup-sized amount; by 1 year, a teacup of solid food is enough for most babies. These are averages; the real guide is your baby's signals: pushing the spoon away means full, opening their mouth wide means still hungry. You don't need to increase portions — your baby will tell you.
