Nutrition

My understanding is that food before 1 is just for fun. Is this still correct thinking? If so, at what age should I be increasing meals that are served to my child. Currently, she is eating at least 1 meal but mostly 2 meals a day plus breastmilk/formula. Should I be getting her into a better mealtime routine and when should she start eating 3 meals a day?

i find myself giving my 8 month old pasta (grain or chickpea) very frequently because its quick and easy. other suggestions for oh-no-its-6 dinners that are plant based and nutritious?
