Whats a good meal plan for a one year old?

your 1 year old needs at least:





6 servings of grains (bread, rice, cereal, pasta, ect...)


1/4 slice of bread is one serving





2 servings of fruits canned or fresh are great


(no more than one serving of juice)





3 servings of veggies cooked





3 servings of dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt)





2 servings of meat and beans.





Remember your child's serving sizes are 1 tablespoon, when they turn 1 1/2 their serving sizes are 1 1/2 tablespoons, when they turn 2 their serving sizes are 2 tablespoons, get the idea? thought so :)





suggested meal plan





breakfast: cereal, toast, juice milk

Lunch: grilled cheese sandwich, (1/2 slice of bread cut in half) green beans, pears, milk


snack: Cheerios in a cup, milk to drink

Whats a good meal plan for a one year old?
My girl is one. She has tried everything that i eat. Her favourites are Tomatoes on toast, pasta with a sauce, sausages and chips(occasionally) Corned beef ash with yorkshire puddings and Meatballs and rice. She also likes a lot of other things(mango, strawberries, plums, cucumber) I let her try anything, even spicy foods which she loves, and she does have chocolate and sweets but only a few times a week. She even refuses these sometimes.
Reply:Anything healthy and no sweets!! I too have a 1 yr old breakfast she loves oatmeal or cereal with or without a fruit w/ whole milk. Then for lunch she loves cut up lunch meat ham or turkey w/ string cheese cocktail mixed fruits. veggies and chocolate milk then surgar free Jello. Last dinner she loves ramen w/ eggs and mixed veggies or ravioli w/ whole milk. In between meals she snacks on cheereo's, chex, dried fruits, and every thing else. Its up to you what you want to feed your child. It doesnt matter what the Dr. says I fed my 11 yr old this way too and he's just fine and dandy. HAVE FUN!!

HINT! You may also buy an "Adult" jar of Natural applesauce from your local grocers! Make sure you buy Natural Applesauce however! Read the labels if you are unsure. The only ingredients should be apples and water or just apples! A few companies may add ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or citric acid to their Natural Applesauce; this is fine!





Why do you suggest peeling fruits and veggies; Nutrients are found in the peels right?


Salt and sugar are never needed when making baby food. Omit these items, preferably at ALL times, in your baby's meals! Other spices such as cinnamon, garlic powder, pepper etc. may be introduced as early as 7 months with your pediatricians consult.

1 cup water
