She had zero! We didn't start solids until 9.5 months and still at almost a year she only has 2 meals a day for sure (breakfast & dinner) and sometimes lunch... usually she's just nurses periodically during the day.

My DD is 8 months old and we do 3 meals a day. But only started doing 3 recently (a few weeks ago). We do fruit for breakfast, veggies for lunch and veggie/protein for dinner. She loves to eat.

My LO is 7.5 months and he usually eats a few bites of whatever we're having for breakfast--this morning it was oatmeal with an over-easy egg mixed in--weird craving, don't ask. He probably had about 2 Tbsps. Depending on when he's napping sometimes he has lunch with me, or an afternoon snack. Again, a few bites of whatever I'm eating--yesterday we split a container of Greek yogurt. He eats more for dinner. He really likes pasta...last time I made it I made a butternut squash sauce and he ate close to a full cup of it, but that's the top amount of what he eats...it's usually half that at dinner.

And remember, food before 1 is just for fun, so while it's good practice to learn how to chew and swallow and all that it's not strictly necessary.

My LO had 1-2 solid meals at that age. She wasn't a good eater until she turned 10 months old.

We introduced a second meal (breakfast) right around 7.5 months but weren't consistent with it until 8 months. Now, at 9 months, LO loves breakfast (but only after two morning nursing sessions, so it's really more like brunch) and dinner. I know we should introduce a third meal in there at some point but I'm not sure when we'll get there. LO does sometimes get snacks of mum-mums or yogurt bites between meals, but that's a random occurrence rather than a daily thing.

We moved to 3 meals a day just before 9 months old. We do a mix of purees and finger foods now. Go with your gut on when you add a 3rd. I always hated it when people would tell me that but then one day, I kind of knew that it was time.
