What can you feed your 1 year old baby?

If baby is an independent walker, try introducing the following foods:

• Beans

• Ground meat

• Milk (with pediatrician’s approval)

• Diced chicken/fish

• Soft, cooked veggies

How much should baby eat?

Baby is in charge of how much to eat. Encourage self-feeding with utensils. Your job is to provide healthy, safe food options to baby. Be sure food pieces are small. Avoid choking hazards, like hot dogs, nuts, popcorn, etc.
