LO is a few days shy of 6 months and we have been doing one meal of solids a day for about 3 weeks. He loves eating and hasn't had any adverse reactions (except some mild diaper rash). I think he might be ready to move to solids for breakfast and dinner.
When did you transition to two meals?

we are just starting to now, at 7.5 months. She hasn't been that interested in breakfast though. She took maybe 5 bites of yogurt yesterday, and two of oatmeal today. I'm not in any rush!
ETA: we've been doing solids for two months

Probably 5.5 months? Started solids for fun around 4 months.

I started sending lunch to daycare around 7.5 months. And started sending breakfast around 9 months. Just last week (10.5 months) I started sending puffs, too, for a snack.

We've been trying to do two meals on and off for the past month (starting around 8 months), but we're JUST becoming more consistent at it now at 9.5 months! But Xander didn't really get into solids until 7 months, so we're slow!

like 6.5 months. We didn't wait long. But there were times were we would skip solid dinner if we got home late. But R loves solid food.

We started with three meals from day one with my son (6 months). With my daughter we were less deliberate, but only because she hated solids for a long time.

We started at solids at 5.5 months with dinner. I added in breakfast as 6.5, lunch at 7.5, and snack around 9 months.

We started right at six months, about a week after we first started solids. Daycare had been asking for food and she seems to like having it twice a day, even though she doesn't eat that much. At our 6 month well visit last week our pedi also recommended two meals a day at her age.

My baby is still on one feeding at 7 months. She hates solids!

It took us awhile to get to more frequent solids. I'd say around 6-7 months.

Almost right away. Around 6 months. We've been doing 3 solids per day since about 6.5 months.

Just a few weeks ago. She gets one at lunch at daycare and one at dinner with us.

We started with dinner at just after 4 months. At about 6 months I started lunch. Just before 8 months he was wanting to nurse an extra time in th morning so we started breakfast.
Some days he eats a lot and other days he will have a meal were he eats one bite. But we keep up with the consistency of when we offer food.

DD's 7.5 months and I haven't added a second meal of solids yet. I'm very hesitant to because she's such a ridiculously enthusiastic eater that I'm worried adding a second meal will cause her to cut back on her breast milk consumption which I really don't want to happen this early.
I'll probably add breakfast in the new year. Lunch will be the last one we add...not sure when, but I guess before she starts day care at one year.

We started with breakfast at 5.25 months and added dinner at 6 months. She loves both.
