Question: how many times a day should my baby eat solid food?
Answer: Your baby will take only small amounts of solid foods at first. Start feeding your baby solids once a day, building to 2 or 3 times a day. At 8 to 9 months give your baby solids as part of breakfast, lunch and dinner. From 6 to 9 months give your baby breast milk or formula first, then solids after the milk.
