That’s when you might feed your baby. But how much food should you be offering her? ‘There is no set amount of food that your baby should be eating,’ says Charlotte. ‘Her appetite – just like the rest of her – is unique. Some babies have tiny appetites; others eat loads. The most important thing is to be responsive to your baby’s signals and to let her choose how much she wants to eat and what – of the food you’re offering - she wants to eat.’Pay attention to what’s normal for your baby.
Watch her energy levels. If she’s got the same amount of energy as normal, she’s eating enough food for her. Whether she's breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, think about how much milk she’s drinking. As your baby’s food intake increases, her milk consumption should naturally reduce. ‘By 10 months, when a baby is on a good three meals a day, I’d expect her milk intake to have gone down from about 600 ml a day to about 400ml a day,’ says Charlotte.
A. ‘Don’t worry – if your baby’s only six months then it’s really early weaning days,’ says Charlotte. ‘The key thing is to make mealtimes really fun. Sit with your baby, lots of smiles and no pressure. Just give her a little bit of food and let her explore it – whether she pokes it, throws it or smears it in her hair! Babies are comfortable with things they’re familiar with, so kick back and enjoy the journey of letting her get to know food.
