In order to know if the baby is eating well it is important to consider the baby's gastric capacity and compare it with the actual volume of food ingested.
Thus, a baby aged between 6 and 8 months holds a volume of approximately 250 g in its stomach. If you are between 9 - 11 months old you should be able to eat 290 g of food per meal and from the first year to 2 years of age the food volume will remain constant at approximately 350 g.
In order for the baby to eat better, the consistency of the meal must be adequate according to the volume of the stomach, taking into account, in addition to age, the gastric capacity, the baby's energy needs.
- 6 - 8 months - pasty (without pieces) 9 -11 months -soft (soft texture) 12 - 24 months - normal (homemade food)
