I've moved to more than one meal a day. How many hours apart should I give complementary meals?

During the complementary feeding period, meal intervals are usually arranged to be 2.5-3 hours apart. This interval is enough time for your baby to digest the previous meal and get hungry. Breastfeeding or formula meals are also part of this routine; keeping the same interval between complementary food and main meals (breast milk/formula) is good. For example, you can spread breakfast, snack, lunch, and dinner across the day at these intervals. Also pay attention to your baby's hunger signals; not every baby has the same rhythm.
