If my baby misses a meal, should I give a bigger portion at the next one or keep it normal?

When your baby skips a meal, it's better to keep the next meal portion normal rather than bigger. Babies usually naturally eat a bit more at the next meal if they're hungry — let their own hunger guide it rather than you adding more. Forcing extra food can lead to spitting up, gas, or refusing the next meal. Overall daily intake usually balances out over a few days. If your baby skips several meals in a row, their diaper count drops, or they seem fussy, talk to your pediatrician.
