How many spoonfuls should I give my baby at the first solid meal? I'm not sure if it's too little or too much.

Don't worry about quantity at the first solid meal — it's not really a "meal," it's an exploration. Start with about a teaspoon of thin, pureed single food. Baby might eat the whole teaspoon or just taste and spit the rest back out — both are normal. The goal isn't fullness; it's getting used to a new experience. Offering too much isn't a concern: baby will turn his head or push the spoon away when he doesn't want more. You can gradually increase to a teaspoon or two over the first few days. The real answer comes from watching your baby's cues. Talking with your pediatrician about a starting plan is a good idea too.
