![]() But, skipping over offering solids, finger foods, and a variety of textures by 9 months of age so they get the practice, skills, and nutrition they need, can’t be reversed! ![]() It’s always possible to decrease the number of meals or snacks being offered if you find they aren’t drinking the minimum amount of milk required for their age. But, we still want them drinking a minimum amount of milk to ensure hydration and maximum nutritional benefits, which is why I’ve included that in the tables below as well. It will be natural for your baby to require less and less milk as the months go on in year 1 – this is not a bad thing. The more exposure they have to solid food as the months go on, the more they’ll gain the skills they need to be competent and healthy eaters by one year of age. And if you have questions about how much your baby should be eating at each of these meals on the schedule, download my free portions guide below to get all the answers you need for that! Let’s go over how often your baby needs to eat by month, and my tips for fitting it all in, first. Then continue to follow them, making adjustments all the way up to 12 months when you’re graduating into toddlerhood and things shift yet again as your child is eating three meals and one or two snacks per day. That’s why I’ve created these sample schedules so you can follow them right from 6 months when your baby starts showing the readiness signs for starting solids and is eating one or two meals only. Most parents worry about how to fit everything in, and have concerns about balancing milk feedings with solid foods. So what does that mean for your baby’s (6 to 12 month old) feeding schedule? Without fail, you will just get your baby on a “schedule” – something flexible but predictable – and then they’ll be ready to start solid foods.
