By the 7th Month, the baby is quickly growing & showing the signs of their development by twisting, rolling & probably crawling. Only breast milk or thin solids are not enough. Most babies have also sprouted few teeth by now. Hence they require food to fill their little stomach now and also to satisfy their irritable gums.

Quantity of Food to be given to a 7 months old

It is all about introducing different tastes, flavors & textures rather than the quantity of food. Keep introducing new foods, you must go back to the earlier food you gave him. This helps your baby to develop a taste for the food. The quantity depends on the liking of the baby. Start with 1/4th cup gradually increasing to 1/2 cup. Do not force-feed the baby.

A feed of 2 times a day is usually recommended along with the breastfeed and/or formula milk.

Things you should keep in mind

• Thick consistency food

• Introduce different taste, flavor & texture food
