When starting complementary foods, portion size depends on your baby's readiness, but a common starting point is: begin with 1-2 teaspoons on the first days. The goal is introducing new flavors, not volume. Within about a week, you can gradually increase to 2-3 tablespoons. Over time, your baby's appetite becomes the guide — when full, your baby turns away, pushes the spoon, or loses interest. Not forcing is most important; starting with one meal between 6-8 months and increasing based on your baby's signals is enough.
