My daughter is 6.5 months old. I am currently giving 2-3 tbsp in one meal, but I feel she can take more. How much quantity can I give her per meal? And is it a good time to start 2 meals a day? Also, how should I introduce curd, rice and dal? Should I give as a combination of food or can I offer it individually?

Q. Help with feeding the baby Hi, My baby just turned 6 months. I have started feeding semi-solids to him in the morning, Washington Red Apple puree (soup like thick texture). Day 1: 3 tbsp + water + milk Day 2: 4 tbsp + water + milk Day 3: 4 tbsp + water + milk Day 4: 6 tbsp + water + milk Day 5: 5 tbsp + water + milk (had prepared 8 tbsp) Queries: 1. Baby cries a lot while feeding and does not open the mouth by himself. Only first 2-3 tbsp he eats willingly. Should we continue feeding the baby else he will feel hungry? 2. Should we give water in between the feeds or only after the puree is finished? 3. Is the thickness fine of the Apple puree as shown in attached image? 4. Should we switch to some other fruit like Elaichi Banana or continue feeding Apple puree for next 2 days? 5. Any other tips/feedback in case we are doing something wrong?
