I believe you already introduced your baby to solid at this point as milk can not sustain your baby anymore. This blogpost will guide you on the ideal portion size your baby needs.
If you are struggling introducing your baby to solids, read this guide on introducing babies to solids.
Between 8- 12 months, you can start feeding your baby finger foods and this will help plan a full day’s meal that you can personally develop into a week’s and month’s meal plans.
Once your baby stars to grasp and pinch, it is time to introduce finger foods. At this age, you should expose your baby to a wide range of flavours, textures and tastes.
By 9 months, you should have introduced 2 types of solids while by 12 months, they should be eating at least 3 types of solids.
Breakfast
2- 4 Tablespoons of Baby cereal + age appropriate milk. Serve extra tablespoon of diced fruits like boiled apple, avocado or banana.
Lunch
The same number of spoons of baby cereal as breakfast but this time with 2 tablespoons of pureed fruits.
Dinner
Serve with 2 tablespoons of pureed vegetables with 2 spoons of pureed meat like chicken. Add one tablespoon of diced fruits like banana or watermelon.
Remember to give baby milk in between meals.
