You\u2019ve probably introduced a handful of new foods by now and baby\u2019s eating feels less like an experiment and more a part of their routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That first month of solids was really about exploring and practising the skills to get food to their mouth, mash it, and swallow. When your little one is 7 months old, you start to see more of it actually going down, rather than just getting played with. But with more food actually getting eaten, it can be hard to know what a full day of eating should look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide will help you know what to serve, how to serve it safely, and how milk and solids work together to keep your baby nourished. Just remember that every baby is different, and a feeding plan is meant to give you guidance rather than a strict rulebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Milk is still the main source of nutrition at 7 months. Solid foods should be offered after milk feeds as a complement, rather than a replacement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most babies this age are ready for 2-3 solid meals a day alongside their usual milk feeds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Introducing the top 9 allergens early and often can help lower your baby\u2019s risk of developing a food allergy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There\u2019s no need to choose between purees and finger foods, offering both gives your baby practice and variety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nutrition priorities at 7 months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Milk still comes first<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even as your baby gets better at eating solid food, breast milk or formula is still their main source of nutrition for the first year. It\u2019s built to meet their nutritional needs at this stage, so think of solids as complementary to milk rather than replacing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduce allergens early<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Introducing the top allergens early and often can lower your baby\u2019s risk of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamapediatrics\/fullarticle\/2802512?utm_source=openevidence&amp;utm_medium=referral\">developing a food allergy<\/a>&nbsp;by 51%. Those top 9 are milk, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, soy, fish, shellfish, wheat, and sesame. By 7 months, aim to have introduced most of them, and continue to serve allergen foods a few times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Offer iron-rich foods daily<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Babies\u2019&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/epdf\/10.1111\/mcn.12458\">iron stores from birth<\/a>&nbsp;start running low around 6 months, which is part of why starting solids matters so much at this age. To help fill that gap to support brain development and immunity, offer iron-rich foods daily like beef, chicken, fish, beans, tofu, and iron-fortified cereal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baby-led weaning vs purees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t feel like you have to pick between purees and baby-led weaning (baby feeding themselves with food cut into safe sizes). What matters more is offering a variety of flavours and textures early on, and allowing baby to set the pace of the meal. It helps them tune into their own hunger and fullness cues while building fine motor skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much should your baby be eating and drinking at 7 months?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a general guideline, most 7-month-olds eat 2-3 solid meals a day alongside their regular milk feeds. A \u201cmeal\u201d at this age might only be&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/infant-toddler-nutrition\/foods-and-drinks\/how-much-and-how-often-to-feed.html\">1-2 tablespoons of food<\/a>, so start there and offer more if your baby shows&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthyparentshealthychildren.ca\/im-a-parent\/feeding-your-baby\/thinking-about-feeding-your-baby\/\" title=\"\">signs of hunger<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of bottles or breastfeeding sessions might not change, but the amount your baby takes per feed might slightly decrease depending on how much they\u2019re eating. Breastfed babies often take in around&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatrics\/article\/150\/1\/e2022057989\/188348\/Technical-Report-Breastfeeding-and-the-Use-of\">26-28 ounces a day<\/a>, while formula-fed babies might take around&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatrics\/article\/152\/5\/e2023064050\/194469\/Older-Infant-Young-Child-Formulas\">24-32 ounces<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that changes in appetite, teething, and sleep changes can all affect how interested in solids your baby is and how much milk they want, so let your baby lead rather than stressing about an exact number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7-month sample feeding plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although every baby\u2019s feeding schedule might look different, here\u2019s an example of a feeding plan that starts with a 7am wake-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>7:00 am: Wake and breast or bottle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8:00 am: Solids meal #1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9:30 am: Nap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11:30 am: Breast or bottle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12:30 pm: Solids meal #2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1:30 pm: Nap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3:00 pm: Breast or bottle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4:00 pm: Optional Solids Meal #3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5:00 pm: Optional cat nap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6:30 pm: Breast or bottle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7:00 pm: Bedtime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your family\u2019s lifestyle, your baby\u2019s schedule might look a little different. The main things to keep in place are about 2-3 hours of daytime sleep across naps and 2-3 solid meals a day, with solids offered after milk feeds so milk stays the priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example meals for 7-month-olds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 7 months, you can serve foods as purees, finger foods, or a mix of both. Your baby will pick up food with their whole hand, known as the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/littlebellies.com\/ca\/learn-play\/starting-solids-helping-your-baby-learn-to-self-feed\/\">palmar grasp<\/a>, while the more precise pincer grasp doesn\u2019t show up until closer to 9 or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/littlebellies.com\/ca\/learn-play\/feeding-guide-for-a-10-month-old\/\">10 months<\/a>. Offer foods that are large enough for baby to grip and soft enough to squish easily between their gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few meal combinations that mix purees and finger foods, keep things nutritionally balanced, and include some allergens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avocado and egg puree with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/littlebellies.com\/ca\/product\/organic-blueberry-puffs\/\">Little Bellies Blueberry Puffs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sweet potato and beef mash with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/littlebellies.com\/ca\/product\/organic-carrot-mini-pick-me-sticks\/\">Little Bellies Carrot Mini Pick-Me Sticks<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oatmeal with mashed strawberry and yogurt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ground chicken (as a soft meatball or puree) with avocado and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/littlebellies.com\/ca\/product\/organic-sweetcorn-round-a-bouts\/\">Little Bellies Sweetcorn Round-a-bouts<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Well-cooked broccoli (in a large floret or pureed) with mashed squash and olive oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/littlebellies.com\/ca\/snacks-by-age\/7-plus-months\/\">Little Bellies 7+ months baby snacks<\/a>&nbsp;are a great option for your little one because they come in a variety of shapes to help your baby learn to self-feed with a melt-in-the-mouth texture for safe eating. Plus, they have no added sugar or salt, just simple ingredients in a convenient and on-the-go format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy ways to offer new textures &amp; flavours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 7 months, the foods you serve help shape your baby\u2019s palate and can even\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/caringforkids.cps.ca\/handouts\/healthy-living\/when_your_child_is_a_picky_eater\" title=\"\">prevent picky eating in toddlerhood<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few easy ways to build in the variety your baby needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t skip the spices.<\/strong>&nbsp;Herbs, pepper, garlic, and other seasonings make purees more flavourful and give your baby a wider range of taste exposure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Acceptance takes repeated exposure,<\/strong>\u00a0often <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritionhealthandwellbeing.com.au\/resources\/fussy-eating-in-children-why-exposures-matter\/\" title=\"\">10-20 times<\/a> before your baby can really decide if they like something. Especially at this age, don\u2019t write off food too soon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep introducing new foods frequently.<\/strong>&nbsp;There\u2019s no need to wait several days between food introductions, even with allergens. Most&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamanetworkopen\/fullarticle\/2769315\">allergic reactions happen within 1 to 4 hours<\/a>&nbsp;of eating something, so there\u2019s no need for a days-long watch period after trying something new.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Encourage texture progression.<\/strong>&nbsp;Even if you\u2019re serving purees, blend or mash a little less each time to make sure your little one is getting practise with more complex textures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Embrace the mess.<\/strong>&nbsp;Although starting solids can be messy, avoid wiping your baby\u2019s face or cleaning their hands between bites. Their exploration is an important step in learning to self-feed and can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/epdf\/10.1111\/mcn.12228\">prevent sensory issues<\/a>&nbsp;later in their life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Every baby\u2019s solids journey looks different<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting solids can feel like a whole new world to figure out. The food prep, allergen introduction, clean-up, and new schedules can be a lot to manage. But like most things in parenthood, it gets easier over time as you and your baby learn these new skills together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/littlebellies.com\/ca\/snacks-by-age\/7-plus-months\/\">Little Bellies 7+ months snack range<\/a>&nbsp;is a great addition to your journey of starting solids because it\u2019s an easy way to introduce new tastes and textures to your 7-month-old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section-toggles\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\">\n    <ul class=\"toggles js-toggles\">\n\n                    \n            <li class=\"toggle \" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\">\n                <h3 class=\"toggle__head\" itemprop=\"name\">\n                    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" >How much should a 7-month-old be feeding?<\/a>\n                <\/h3><!-- \/.toggle__head -->\n\n                <div class=\"toggle__body\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n                    <div class=\"toggle__body-inner\" itemprop=\"text\">\n                        <p>Start by serving 1-2 tablespoons of food per solid meal, and offer more if your baby is showing signs they&#8217;re still hungry.
