 Notes: 3 Meals a Day? Keep in mind that even at this age group, many infants are still not ready to eat 3 "meals" per day until well into the 9-10 month range.

Please keep in mind that many infants do not begin solids until 6 months of age and not all babies will be eating the same amounts or food items.

There are many infants who may eat 4-6 ounces of food per day at 6 or 7 months old while others who are just starting solids will be within the 1-2 ounce range.

You should follow the menu ideas in keeping with your infant's development and eating habits as well as your pediatrician's advice.
