Two meals a day.

I have! My little dude is quite big so one meal wasn’t enough! 😂

Mine has 3 meals, but I weaned from 4.5 months so he’s been eating for nearly 2.5 months x

@Elena when did you change to 3 meals a day? I think I might need to but I’m worried I might be over feeding 😂

@Megan he had first tastes for a month so till 5.5 months then I put him on 2 meals a day for 2 weeks and he was finishing all of them plus dessert after each so I added in 3 meals at 6 months, been 2 weeks now and he finishes every single meal and a sweet treat with every meal. He’s on 4 bottles a day 8oz and will occasionally have a 5th one x

@Elena thank you!

@Elena thanks! We’ve only been going for a month. Would you say that’s too early?

Not necessarily! Do they finish every meal?

At the moment she is just on lunch. Thinking of changing this to breakfast and dinner? What did you do x

We started out almost immediately with two meals a day - breakfast and dinner just because then there was a chance both me and my husband got to see her eating everyday atleast once a day and take part in the excitement with starting weaning. She is BLW but with a mix of puree and finger food and often doesn't eat everything but that's also because the portion sizes vary a bit too depending what we are giving her.

I think the general guidance I've seen is 6-7months 1 or 2 meals, 7-8 months 2 meals, 9 months 3 meals, 10-11 months 3 meals and a snack, 12 months 3 meals and 2 snacks. But that's very general guidance and every baby will want different amounts. I don't think there is any harm you offering a second meal, especially if you let them decide how much of that meal they want.

@Elena this is the same as my little girl xx

I started with tasters at 4.5 months (a teaspoon or two) and now he’s at 3 meals a day. I am just following his hunger cues, I’ll offer him the three and let him eat until he doesn’t want anymore. He loves food. I did see as well that maybe he should only be on two meals a day but I can’t revert now, I suppose his stomach has expanded and adjusted to the three meals hes wanting to eat.

@Elena what do you call a sweat treat for a 6 month old?

@Ana yoghurt with fruit puree, puree on its own, homemade banana muffins etc
