We started solids with DD last week, and so far it's been going well! She'll have a couple of spoonfuls of some of the Heinz baby foods in the evening and seems to enjoy them. Should we be starting to feed her 3 times a day? Don't want to over or under feed and we're all getting used to it!

You can feed her a breakfast, lunch and dinner. At this early stage, snacks aren't really necessary yet.If you’re giving a food that could cause a reaction (peanut butter etc...) for the first time, give it earlier in the day so you can see any reaction the she might have.
Don’t worry about how much she is eating at each meal. At this point, introducing solid foods is simply a way to get her used to new flavours and textures and not as much about nutrition.
Don’t worry about giving your DD too much food. When she’s full she’ll turn her head away and refuse to open their mouth. Most babies are very good at controlling their intake.
