Feeding schedule for 6 month old

My baby goes to nursery 4 days a week so could you please share a feeding schedule as this all new to me?
Will she automatically be on 3 meals a day? I see conflicting opinions on this

Not necessarily, you'll only just be embarking on weaning at 6 months, and at this stage it's more about introducing baby to new foods (tastes/textures) but the majority of nutrients will still be from milk.

I think we did offer food at usual mealtimes ie when we were eating anyway, but we did baby led weaning so no having to puree food.

The nursery is likely to do something similar but it would be best discussing with them

my now 1 year old started nursery at this age, they were actually really helpful. They went with what I had laid out and built up accordingly, I think they gave really small amounts blended, exactly as you would at home. They were really helpful in giving advice on when they thought we should add in another meal etc.

@That80showi tbink i would ask the Nursery what feeding schedule they do do that you can follow the same one, more or less, on the other 3 days.

I’d be surprised though if they offered a 6 month old solids 3 times a day as it’s unnecessary and very time consuming.

I went with:
6-7 months - one meal (barely touched some days)
7-8 months - two meals
8-9 months - three meals
