What to feed baby: 8 - 12 Months

Here is some information from the dairy council

Breastmilk or Formula: 3 - 4 servings/day (6 - 8 oz each)

• Can start to offer cheese (1/2 oz), plain yogurt (1/2 cup), and cottage cheese (1/4 cup). Make your own yogurt in a crock pot!

Baby Cereal: 2 servings/day (2 - 4 Tbs), can offer bread (1/4 slice) or crackers (2 crackers)
Fruit: 2 servings/day (3 - 4 Tbs) and/or Fruit Juice (1 serving/day at 4 oz). Juice should be from a cup
Vegetable: 2 servings/day (2 - 4 Tbs)
Meat: Chicken/Beef/Pork, 1 serving/day (2 - 3Tbs)

• Can start to offer cooked, dried beans or egg yolks

Items to keep in mind:

• Wait until baby's first birthday to feed egg whites. Some babies are sensitive to the egg whites. It is ok to give baby the yolks
• Be patient. Babies make a mess when they feed themselves
• Always taste heated foods before serving them to baby
