Feeding your baby at 6 months

Baby
Baby food

If you haven't already done so, purees and compotes are making their appearance on your baby's plate at 6 months.


  • To ensure that everything goes smoothly, keep in mind one essential rule to respect during the food diversification stage: only one new flavor at a time and in small quantities.
  • From a few spoonfuls of puree the first few days, we gradually increase the amount, keeping in mind that at the beginning, it's mainly a matter of awakening his taste rather than feeding him.
  • Of course, the whole thing is completed by bottles, at a rate of 4 meals per day in principle.

Hey girls! My baby will be 6 months on the 18th. She usually drinks 8-10 ounces every few hours or so. Now she's eating baby food too. Do I give the full jar of the baby food with the bottle or....? #babyfood #6months #changes #chunky

Give her whatever she wants. I love chunky babies.

Milk first, regular amount, then food. If she’s full, she’s full. But milk (breastmilk or formula) has more nutrients and calories than baby food and needs to be given priority.

My youngest son is 6 months and is about 16 pounds. Is he on tract? I’m breastfeeding (I, also, give him one bottle of baby food a day as well) and sometimes I feel he’s not gaining enough.

Oh my son has already started a litttle on solids. He’s has mashed potatoes and I usually give him a jar of baby food a day. Looks like he may be a little under his weight. He’s tall though, so I don’t know if that factors in at all. He has his 6 month appt on Tuesday. So, I guess I’ll have to see what his Pediatritian says.
