My son is 7 months and is about 2 weeks into stage 2 foods. He has 5 6-ounce bottles per day, and eats a tub of fruits in the late morning, and a tub of veggies in the early evening. I tried giving him 3 meals a day this past weekend, but he didn’t do too well. What age did you start your babies eating 3 meals per day?

My children eat 3 meals a day around 18 months old.
my doc says that babies should be eating 4 solids by 9 months. including the cereals and still using formula or breastmilk.
don’t push him too soon if he isn’t ready. just introduce a 3rd food slowly. try it every couple of days and don’t force him to finish it. Also it helps to use foods he already likes.
I also think it is relavant when you started foods. if you started at 4 months then he should be eating a 3rd food but if you started at 6 months then it might take him a little longer to get used to it.
My daughter was eating 3 foods by six months (i started at 4 months old). My son was eating 3 foods by 8 months but I started him at 5 1/2 months because he was born 11 weeks early and it took a long time to get him used to it.
My babies didn’t start having 3 meals a day until they were over a year old…you will know when he is ready.
