How Much Should My Baby Eat? 💚
There’s no fixed amount of food a baby should eat! 💚 Every baby is unique and hunger changes throughout the day — depending on energy spent, last feed, milk intake, etc.
Respect Your Baby’s Fullness Cues ✨
- Turns head or closes mouth
- Pushes food away
- Plays with food instead of eating
- Throws food on the floor
- Gets fussy or cries in the high chair
- Loses interest in the meal
Early Weaning Focus 👉
In the first months of weaning, the goal is not eating big amounts but exploring, tasting, touching, and learning.
What Really Matters ✅
- Until 1 year, breast milk or formula is still the main source of nutrition — solids are for practice and discovery.
- Most babies start eating larger amounts only between 8–12 months.
- Daily exposure to a variety of foods, textures, and family meals matters most.
How do you know if your baby is eating enough? ⚠️
If your baby is growing along their curve, has good immunity, and develops well — that’s the best sign they’re eating what they need! 💕
