Feeding Tips for This Age

  • Introduce more textures: soft chopped foods, mashed foods, safe finger foods
  • Let baby practice self-feeding with a spoon and fingers
  • Include protein sources: meat, fish, eggs, beans, tofu
  • Offer a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
  • Keep offering breast milk or formula - baby needs 20-24 oz per day
  • Avoid honey until 1 year old; avoid choking hazards
