No two babies are the same, and this is also true when it comes to how often to feed your newborn. As a very rough guide, in the first few weeks your baby will need to be fed at least 8-12 times every 24 hours, but experts advise feeding your baby ‘on demand’ rather than trying to make them eat a specific amount every day. Do not focus on what your baby eats in a meal or a day. It's more helpful to think about what they eat over a week. Show them how you eat At 6 months old night-time feeds might not be needed any more, but every baby is unique. Speak to your health visitor or doctor if you are unsure whether to cut down on night-time feeds. But this is an important part of your baby's development. Encouraging your baby to touch and play with their food will help them learn how to eat and enjoy different foods, flavours and textures. Make sure your baby is sitting safely, in an upright position, so they can swallow properly. Keep distractions to a minimumAllow plenty of time for eating, especially at first. Rushing or forcing your baby could lead to feeding problems. There will be days when your baby eats more, some days when they eat less, and some days when they reject everything. This is perfectly normal. At 3 months old your increasingly active baby will begin to breastfeed less often, and may sleep for longer stretches at night.

Offer vegetables that are not sweet, such as broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, from the start. Be patient They might make funny faces, but this does not mean they do not like it. They're just getting used to new flavours and textures. Finger foods add vegetables to classic savoury dishes such as cottage or shepherd's pie, spaghetti bolognese or casseroles Months seven through nine can be a good time to add a greater variety and quantity of solid foods to your baby’s diet. During this period you can gradually start to introduce three meals a day – breakfast, lunch and a mid-afternoon meal – alongside feeds as and when your baby needs them.Keep in mind that you still don’t need to add salt or sugar to your baby’s food. Too much salt can be bad for little kidneys, and sugar can lead to tooth decay. It’s important to include a wide variety of the main food groups in your baby’s diet. This means a healthy mix of:

unsweetened porridge or lower-sugar cereal mixed with whole milk and topped with fruit, such as mashed ripe pear or banana Having mealtimes around the same time every day can make it easier for your baby to know when it's food time. Foods high in sugar, fat and salt For formula-fed babies, a very approximate guide is that they will need 150-200 ml of formula per kilo of body weight every day until around the age of 6 months old, when you can gradually start to introduce solid foods. However, the rate of feeds can vary day-to-day so it’s still best to follow hunger cues and feed on demand.Getting your baby used to eating a variety of foods from the start will help set them up for a lifetime of healthier eating. These are not suitable as first foods but are fine once your baby is used to eating a wide range of solid foods. Read more about your baby's first solid foods. Babies like to choose for themselves and sometimes take their time getting used to different foods.
