How many tablespoons of solids should a 6-month-old eat?
For purées, cereal and yogurt the tool suggests **2–4 tbsp per meal** at 6–8 months (less for egg and thinned nut butter). Start small and let your baby’s cues guide intake.
How do I know if my baby needs more food?
If your baby finishes a portion quickly and still shows interest (leaning forward, opening mouth), try offering **about 1 extra tbsp** next time.
What does 1 tablespoon equal in grams for baby food?
Most purées and yogurts weigh about **15 g per tbsp**, while protein purées are closer to **18 g per tbsp**.
Can portion sizes replace milk feeds?
Not yet. Before 12 months, **breastmilk or formula remains the main nutrition source**. Solids are for learning and supplementation.
How much protein purée should babies eat?
Offer **2–6 tbsp** depending on age. Protein is important for iron intake, but keep it in soft, smooth textures at first.
When should I increase solid food portions?
Increase when your baby **finishes portions easily** and shows hunger for more. Add small increments to avoid waste and choking risks.
Should I measure food exactly?
No need to be exact — the goal is to provide **age-appropriate ranges** and let your baby **self-regulate** intake.
