A. You can generally start offering three solid meals a day to your baby around 8 to 9 months of age, depending on their interest in food, development, and appetite. By this age, most babies have tried a variety of foods and are ready to have solids as a regular part of their routine along with breast milk or formula. Tips for Starting Three Solid Meals: 1. Watch for Readiness: Signs include opening their mouth for the spoon, showing interest in food, and being able to sit up with minimal support. 2. Balance Food Types: Include a variety of foods like pureed or soft vegetables, fruits, grains, and protein sources (lentils, beans, or small amounts of meat). 3. Keep Portions Small: Babies have small stomachs, so offering a few tablespoons per meal is usually enough. You can increase portions gradually as they grow. Continue to breastfeed or offer formula in addition to meals, as it remains an essential part of their nutrition until at least 12 months. Adjust the meal frequency based on your baby’s cues and consult your pediatrician if you have specific concerns about feeding schedules or food types.
