The general recommendation for starting complementary feeding is as follows:
- 6–8 months: 1–2 complementary meals per day. Main nutrition is still breastmilk or formula.
- 8–10 months: 2–3 meals per day. Portions gradually increase.
- 10–12 months: 3 main meals + 1–2 snacks. Milk still important but complementary meals take on main meal quality.
This can be adjusted based on your baby's appetite and development. What matters is variety in each meal and respecting your baby's fullness signals.
