A member asked:

My baby is eight months old how many times can i feed her a day the second step food if she is only drinking three bottles a day.what do i need to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Up to baby: Handling more complex textures like stage ii food is a skill set that takes time to learn. So follow baby's cues. If she seems like she wants more , give her more. If she pulls away or gags or coughs on stage ii, stop feeding. Never force a spoon in to her mouth either.
