Signs of being full include: Turning his head away Refusing to open his mouth for another bite after he's swallowed resist the urge to encourage your baby to have one last spoonful Leaning back in his chair Playing with the spoon or food rather than eating. Start with a very small amount, 1 to 2 teaspoons, of a single-ingredient puree. Gradually increase to 1 to 2 tablespoons of food once a day. Follow your baby's fullness cues.
Transition from one to two meals a day, typically by 8 months. Over time, add a second food to each meal. The photo above is an example of a meal with two foods. Once you've worked up to two meals with two foods each, aim for a balance of proteins, vegetables, fruits, and grains in her daily diet.
As time goes on and your baby eats more solids, they may naturally want less breast milk or first infant formula. If you're breastfeeding, your baby will adapt their feeds according to how much food they're having. Formula-fed babies may need around ml of milk a day, but just use this as a guide. Remember your baby's tummy is tiny and fills up quickly, so offer milk feeds after solids and don't force them to finish the bottle. During meal times, offer your baby sips of water from an open cup or a free-flow cup.
