How much solid food can they consume?

A solids meal usually starts as just a few messy teaspoons, moving up to say an eighth of a cup, then within weeks moves up to more like half a cup. Eventually by about their first birthday they will be consuming around 1–11/2 cups of food for each full meal. If your good feeder goes ‘off’ his food, just remember his gums could be aching from teething, so perhaps try giving food that doesn’t require chewing.
