Question: how many times a day to give baby food?
Answer: Amount of Food Per Day If you are concerned about your baby's intake, ask your pediatrician or a registered dietitian. Broadly, most babies eat: 4 to 6 months: 3 to 4 tablespoons of cereal once a day, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of a vegetable and fruit 1 or 2 times a day.
