6 month old baby eats 3x a day

Hi mummies! My 6 month old started solids 2 weeks ago. This week, he has been asking for food a lot and eats 3x a day. Is this okay? Or am i jumping ahead in giving him more food? I understand that milk should still be his main source of nutrients and since starting solids, he hasnt been drinking much milk. Should i give him just 2 meals instead? Thank you!

My baby does the same but I’ll just let her taste (the ones which she can eat ofc) then I offer her a teether, teething rusk or a toy for her to suck or chew on. I didn’t replace meals, so I usually give milk, 30 mins later solid (plus water) then 2 hours later milk again. I don’t offer her solids everyday, maybe 3-4 times a week, twice a day. 😊

2 meals is fine for 6 month old.
