How much portion of solids should I feed to a 6-7month breastfed baby per serving? How many servings per day? Any feeding schedule sample? Recently found that my baby has abdominal discomfort and constipation. Feeding her EBM 80-100ml 3-4hourly. Solids (2-3 tsp per serving) after an hour later the milk feed. 3 servings of rice cereal and 1 serving of fruit puree per day. Is it too much for 6-7month baby?

Start by offering just a few spoonfuls at a time. When your baby has gotten the hang of it and seems to want more, work up to about 3 to 4 tablespoons per feeding. Once your baby has been taking cereal reliably once a day for a week or two, try twice a day feedings. Once they’ve done that reliably for a week or two, then you can start pureed foods.
