Sweet Pea has really started to eat well in the past couple of weeks or so. When we first started solids at 6 months old, she would only take about 3-5 bites per feed and that was it.

Gradually, she did start eating about 1 ounce (half a stage one baby food container!) of solids per day for lunch.

Around that time I started giving her variety. Instead of just offering one veggie, I would offer two veggies and alternate bites of the veggies. She seemed to really like tasting two different foods at the same meal and that helped her start eating a little more per meal as well.

Sweet Pea had her first taste of fruit on March 28th. She had pears and seemed to enjoy them! She has since also had banana and she is a fan!

Sweet Pea has two veggies for breakfast and a veggie and fruit for lunch. If she starts refusing her veggies like her sister did at around 9 months of age, I will take her off fruits completely until she starts liking her veggies again! Worked like a charm for Little Bug.
