I did BLW at 6 months with signs of readiness, so my son has always self fed the things I was having. I made sure to always offer food but at 6 months old you can just do 1-3 meals a day based on his interest. Offering is important because they need to build up to 3 meals and 1-2 snacks a day by 12 months old. It’s gradual! Milk is still the main source of nutrition. Offer milk every 3–4 hours. Keep solids 30-60 minutes after milk feeds.
Food before 1 is just for fun. He should be getting all of his nutrition from milk still anyway. We started solids at 5 months as well, but we don't do them everyday.....it's more of a when time permits thing for us.
Food before one is just for fun, he’s just discovering textures and taste atm so don’t pressure yourself x
