There’s a lot going on in your baby’s world. They’re growing, they’re learning, and you’re likely to be giving them new foods to try. Don’t be surprised if their appetite fluctuates, or if your baby rejects some foods or spits food out.
Your baby also has a good gauge of when they’re hungry and when they’ve had enough. Don’t worry if they seem to be eating very little – it will be enough for them. Around three to four tablespoons of food is a typical amount.
If your baby is spitting food out a lot it might be a simple case of them getting used to new tastes. You may need to offer a food to them several times, even up to 15 times, before they’ll even try it – let alone like it! As long as they appear happy, healthy and they’re gaining weight then they’re probably getting the right amount.
