When do you feed your baby solids and how many times?

Question

My daughter will be 10 months on october 10th. Lately she's been drinking more milk but still is hungry after one. I usually would feed her solids once a day because she fights to eat with me even though she wants food she would be fine with that but not anymore. She seems like shes getting disinterested with purees as well these past few days and wants more adult food and wants whatever we eat instead and will chase you for your food lol. but i still feed her purees. She's got 6 teeth now btw. I have to start feeding her more solid mealtimes. Do you feed your baby solids when they first get up or a bottle?
  Also how many times a day do you feed them solids?

Answer

My pedi had us doing 3 meals a day at 6 months.. even if some of those meals were minimal, because by 12 months they should be eating 3 healthy meals a day. So I would suggest bumping to 3 meals a day. 
Here are some examples of what my 9 month eats (usually just one of the options)
He also does not have any more purees, he’s over them haha so these are either chunkier spoonables or finger foods 
Breakfast: eggs, oatmeal, fruit 
Lunch: Skyr, cottage cheese, sweet potato chunks 
Dinner: usually whatever we are eating
Ground turkey, salmon, veggies (carrots, beets, radishes, broccoli, zucchini etc.) chicken, shredded cheese, etc.

My LO is 10 months. She eats solids very well. She has 3 meals a day and snacks twice a day as well. She still breastfeeds. She eats basically everything we eat and only has 2 teeth btw. 
Examples: breakfast- toast with crust cut off and in strips, yogurt, oatmeal, eggs, pancakes plain, cheerios, sausage cut into small bites, etc. 
Lunch- cheese cubes, ham pieces, tortilla, applesauce, steamed carrots, green beans, corn, shredded chicken, etc.
Dinner- whatever I Cook for the family such as chicken pot pie, spaghetti, chicken parmesan, tacos (she has the meat and tortilla), baked chicken, grilled chicken, steak pieces cut small, etc. 
Dont be afraid to try new things! Just cut the bites small enough for baby

Answer

Arielle, why do you still feed her purées? Not judging; just curious.

Answer

My son just turned 9 months. He is almost exclusively breastfed. He'll suck flavors out of food then spit them out lol. He won't eat purees. He wants what we eat.

Answer

My baby girl has 4 six to eight ounce bottles a day and she usually eats 3 meals a day. The bottles are from 3-4 hours apart (she doesn’t always finish them sometimes leaves an oz or half oz). She wakes up I change her and give her a bottle then about a half hour or so she has breakfast (anything from cereal to yogurt to eggs loves eggs) after that she naps from 45 min to an hour (short nap). She wakes has another bottle, plays for a few and then we have lunch ( soup, grilled cheese, pasta)  she plays a little more then naps from one hour to two hours.  Wakes has another bottle plays for 30-40 minutes while I make dinner.  Eats dinner (chicken or beef with veggies or sometimes breakfast for dinner lol, pasta and veggies). After dinner we do bath then a small snack (yogurt or applesauce) then bottle book and bed.  She eats most of what we eat. Even peanut butter and jelly lol (lunch thing).  She will be 10 months on October 6.  She is also walking since before 9 months. We do sometimes go to the park or for a walk. It tired her out a lot !   It always seems like she is eating lol but it’s just that the time passes so quickly.  I don’t use an alarm I go by the time of her bottles. And for sure no one day is the same as the next. 💛🥰

Answer

We feed him solids when we eat solids. If he is hungry, or seems hungry, we give him solids.
