How many times a day should you feed your baby 6 months old?
Answer:
As many times as he wants food...
Feeding on demand is usually best. Let the baby tell you when he/she is hungry.
When he/she is hungry. It might be annoying if you are breast feeding but it really does make them contented.
Whenever he / she is hungry, you can always consult your health visitor for more advice...x
You should feed them as many times as they are hungry...They will let you know if they aren't...I use to sit my kids down with us at meal times..3 times a day and then add in a couple of times a day for snack or what ever..If they are hungry they will eat if not they won't.
when its hungry
When my little one was 6 months, she was hungry constantly. I fed her a good breakfast, lunch and supper, with snacks in between and some pablum and bedtime to make sure she slept. A bottle of milk throughout the day helps a lot as well.
Once a day at most:
"6 - 7 months Offer solids once a day, at most. Many start out offering solids every few days or even less often."

I do baby-led introduction to solids and all I do is if baby wants what I am eating when I am eating I give him some (as long as it doesn't contain honey, dairy, nuts, wheat or too much salt or sugar). Sometimes he eats it and sometimes he plays with it. It also encourages me to eat more fruits and veggies and use less salt. His current favorties are chili and pineapple.

Remember food at this age is for FUN not nutrition.
feed it when it's hungry.. of course.
feed your baby on demand as often as he or she wants
as many as the child wants.
if you mean solid food when i first weaned my daughter i have her one meal a day usual around midday, the after about 2 weeks gave her 2 meals a day one at midday and one at night, and when my daughter was about 7-8 months old game her three meals a day.
My boy is the same age as your baby, and he is thriving, but not fat. He has about 800ml of milk a day, and also 3 meals (solids a day). For breakfast he always has 1 piece of fruit (a pear or an apple, the one specifically for kids as these are smaller and juicier and tastier) scraped off with a spoon in a small baby bowl, mixed with apricot flakes, to make it thicker, and also add a bit of pear juice to make it a bit softer in texture if too thick. For lunch he has baby rice, and for dinner has either mashed potatoes and carrots with milk added in, or mashed potatoes and green beans, or pasta. I mostly make my own dinner for him, sometimes use meals from jars. I always make sure he has his dinner with us so we involve him in the 'family unit', if you like. He also has deserts such as cheesecake (these are strictly from jars, because I don't want to 'experiment' when it comes to sugar content. All these depend on how hungry your baby is, on the amount of activity he/ she does during the day. Mine is in the baby walker and has been for the last 2 or 3 months, so he uses his energy up and therefore gets hungry. Hope this helps.
as often as needed they will let you know
