    Sample Food Chart for 1-2 year baby

    By first birthday your child should be eating from the family pot 3-4 times in a day. He should take only 2-3 breast feeds and mostly eat everyday household food and seasonal fruits.

    When my daughter turned one, I was so happy to introduce all varieties of food that are restricted to below one year baby like honey, cow milk etc.

    Here I provide a sample food chart for one year baby with lots of variety. Choose food according to your child interest and availability.

    Morning time:

    A cup of whole cream milk. Quantity of milk some time varies as my daughter very rarely finished one cup.☹

    Breakfast:

    1. Ragi uttapam / Soft idli
    2. Home made cerelac
    3. Semolina vegetable Upma/Moong daal chilla
    4. suji/rava pancake

  • Party Paratha – Loved by all

    Party Paratha – Loved by all

    Everyone gets bored with the same food and the same style of presentation. Today my daughter started saying no no!! 😖 when she saw the paratha , coriander chutney and potato mash in her plate.
    There is no use of scolding her for food. So I  just give some twist to the paratha and named it Party paratha.👯

    Isn’t it nice ? She started dancing when I called it Party paratha and  started clapping and jumping.Wow Mumma yummy !!! I will finish it.😀

  • Food for 11-12 months Baby

    Food for 11-12 months Baby

     

    In 11 and 12 Months most Babies need :

    • Solid foods three times a day. By now your baby should be eating a variety of different foods and taking an active role at mealtimes by self-feeding and drinking from a sippy cup.

    Read: Different Learning activities for 1 to 2 years baby2016/01/13

    • At 11 to 12 months: 22 to 30 ounces of breast milk or formula in a 24-hour period. Beginning at 12 months, your baby can transition to whole cow’s milk and should drink less than 30 ounces a day (more than this can reduce your child’s appetite for other healthy foods and can lead to iron deficiency anemia).

     

    • A little less than 14 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period  this includes nighttime sleep and naps. Two naps during the day (morning and afternoon) is typical, though some babies will move toward just one long nap each day.
