No more than two tablespoons once a day at most.http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/solids…
Babyfood is for fun, breastmilk/formula is for nutrition. Do not let solids interfere with the amount of breastmilk/formula your baby consumes. Also 6 month olds may still have trouble indicating that they do not want more and you do not want to encourage your baby to over eat.
Personally I think child-led introduction to solids is best as it lets your baby and your baby’s development control their intake. http://www.borstvoeding.com/voedselintro…

At 6 mos he should just be starting solids now, so one jar or less.

Oh, my, gosh.
People kill me. I couldn’t even read the rest of these answers.
Your baby will eat AS much as he needs. Babys will NOT overeat and you shouldn’t look at these “rules”. Your doctor will tell you, every baby is DIFFERENT. My first son was at 4 jars a day with some talbe food. My second son started jar food at 3 months. So by six months he was taking ALL of his formula plus 6 jars of #2 food a day. My sisters son ate even more than that. Now, given, some may only eat 2 a day. Your baby will let you know when he’s had enough. But if you go by “oh, just two tablespoons” or just 2 jars, well, how do you know that your baby is getting enough? You don’t. Check with your ped doc. And just follow your babys signs. but again, you CAN”T overfeed. Your baby might be a baby, but he knows when he’s had enough. But if he is eating a lot, and has even tried 3rd foods, you could try some table food IF he is ready. Happy Feeding!!

1 jar in my opinion. If your baby is taking formula maybe less, or nursing maybe more, but your baby’s main source of food should still be breastmilk or formula. (Otherwise baby isn’t getting all the nutrients he or she needs. Especially iron and the fatty acids in milk that helps develop a babies brain)

Don’t worry so much about how much he should be eating, rather use his hunger cues to tell you how much. On average, I think that he would eat 2-3 jars of stage 2 foods a day, depending on how often during the day you give it to him. Just watch him when you feed him and he’ll tell you if he is still hungry or not.

As much as he’s hungry for. He’ll let you know by either gobbling it up, or just goofing around with it.

There really is no set amount. Just like adults some children eat more than other children.

My 6 month old usually eats cereal and fruit/veggies 3 times per day. He actually prefers to eat than drink a bottle. So, sometimes he eats up to two jars of food at a sitting if we don’t give him cereal with it.
