We just started solids. How many solid meals should I give my baby in the first period?

For a baby newly starting solids (usually around 6 months), one meal per day of solids is enough. This meal doesn't replace breast milk or formula, just introduces tastes and learning. Offering food when baby is slightly hungry, not ravenous, helps openness to new flavors. Start with a few teaspoons and increase based on baby's appetite. From 7 months, add a second meal; from 8-9 months, three meals are suggested. Introduce each new food separately and 2-3 days apart so you can track allergies or sensitivities.
