As your baby gets older and approaches toddlerhood, you can work up to three solid meals a day with a snack or two in between. Start with one meal a day, then move up to two (try one in the morning and one in the evening) for the next month or so. Follow the cues and don't force feedings - you can always try again later.

On the other hand, babies who wake up bright-eyed and eager might be happy to sample solids for breakfast. If you're breastfeeding, you might offer solids when your milk supply is at its lowest (probably late afternoon or early evening).
