Our home nurse advised this:
- lunch 11am - 1pm, when digestive system is most active
- dinner 5 - 6 pm, a bit of time to digest before sleeping
Other things I learnt:
- Start lunch only after 5.5-6 months when digestive system is more mature.
- Solid food is to supplement, not replace milk, in the 1st year.
- Feed lunch about 1hr after milk feed to supplement
- introduce new food during lunch, at least 3 days in a row to test for allergy
- New food: give only 1 tablespoon on Day 1, 2 tblsp on Day 2, 3 tblsp on Day 3 to test for allergy
- food passed allergy test can be included in dinner
- can introduce dinner about 1mth after lunch
- 6-9 tablespoons of food is considered 1 full meal
- never force-feed to create positive attitude to eating
- help baby learn to feed himself
- start introducing a bit of water through cup at 6 mths
kellymom :: Breastfeeding and Parenting is a good reference.
So far, my 9-month old boy has been taking in all the breastmilk as usual and having 2 full meals. Hope you find this helpful.

My baby sits in a high chair when I feed him.
Sometimes he will fuss and refuse food but I will make him sit there until he finishes. He also eat until very messy. So I went to Mothercare to buy a bib that is long sleeve. That's one of my best investments. LOL. Especially when we go out.
I try not to give him toys or let him sit in his walker when eating because I want him to concentrate on eating. When he's distracted, I feel it's harder to feed. Plus I want to inculcate a habit of him finishing his food before playing and not playing while eating.

i agree with diymummy! i also let ds sit on his highchair.
few days ago, i forgot to switch off the tv and he focus on the tv! so now, i will off the tv, take away all toys b4 feeding him.
and yes, v diry and messy.. but these few days better alrdy, cos i know when he will use hands put into his mouth, dig the cereal etc.. so b4 he started, i will hold his hands and say "CANNOT!"

I let Iggy sit in high chair coz I wanna cultivate eating at dinning table and not running around in walker and I find the height of the walker like not comfy for me to feed him.
At first, I did not have problems feeding him like that w/o TV or toys. But since 11mths+, he will fuss when eating, so I gave in, give him some toys to play with while eating. But I still refused to on the TV for him to watch while eating. Not good habit.

LOL. Coz I fierce fierce. When my hubby feeds my son, my son a lot of nonesense. Hahaha.
Yeah you can buy high chair. Ikea's one is not bad. Easy to clean and cheap. Abt $25 without the table I think.
My high chair is Chicco brand. Bought from Mothercare when they had promo. Abit regret coz heavy and not easy to clean.
