How many meals of solids should I start my baby on?

[PhilMac]

I am thinking of starting my baby on solids soon and have everything I need but I was wondering do they start on just one meal or go all three at once? If only one meal then which is best?

Hi PhilMac, We usually recommend starting with one meal. No particular meal is the 'right' one as it depends on which meal the baby is more interested in. It is usually either lunch or breakfast that is introduced first.
It's best to feed according to the baby’s cues. If they are showing a lot of interest, introduce the second meal and then the third
Suggestions would be rice cereal at bfast, puree vegetables at lunch
Gradually increase quantity, variety and texture as the baby progresses
