How much to feed a six month old

Hello

My DD is six months old and beend on solids for about three or four weeks, starting slowly with veg and baby rice but now ( on the advice of the health visitor) eating pureed chicken and rice etc. She loves this and I am just wondering how much to feed her really, she quite often cries when her food is finished, I am not sure wether to keep feeding her until she refuses or go with what I think is enough. I dont want to over feed her, but also dont want her to be hungry!

I am currently giving her four ice cubes of food per meal and somtimes natural yogurt with pureed pears for afters

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

xx

I have always been amazed by how much food little babies can tuck away. Remember they are doing a lot of growing.

I keep feeding mine until they are full TBH, DD1 is nearly 3 and not overweight or anything. As long as the food is decent fill em up I reckon.

Thanks, its so hard with your first baby, I have always been quite confident, but I am questioning everything I am doing!
