Hi. It's enough if you feed twice in a day. But my suggestion is -instead of going for packed baby foods try natural recipes like 1. Dry roast phool makhana seeds.and grind it into a fine powder, you can add hot water to it -this is a kind of instant cerlac and natural one, your baby can get more calcium through this. Try another recipe - soak moong dal for 1 hour,cook it, later mash it and give it to your baby or you can take red millet (ragi) flour and prepare a porridge by adding water and little pinch of salt to it. 'Ragi' is rich in calcium,fiber. another suggestion -don't give solid foods continuously. when she woke up give her milk,followed by breakfast(easily digestable one -idli with ghee or pooha or upma or dosa), then give her some finger foods like boiled and mashed apple,carrot etc.. and then lunch. after lunch give some cerlac then supper . Make sure you maintain 2 to 3 hours gap for each food
