New foods Phase in soft combination foods, such as macaroni and cheese, pasta with tomato sauce, and casseroles. Now that your child can sit up and bring food to his mouth with his hands, he can eat finger foods that dissolve in the mouth without chewing, like baby crackers and bite-size cooked frozen vegetables.
How often Feed him three to four meals a day, along with two nutritious snacks, such as a small cup of yogurt, a little cheese, or some bean dip. That, by the way, is an ideal eating pattern for the rest of his childhood. The portions will get bigger as he grows, but the basic schedule will stay the same.
Sample daily menu
• 18 teaspoons of baby oatmeal
• 4 ounces of plain yogurt with 1 four-ounce jar of peaches
• half cup of peas, placed on his tray
• 1 six-ounce bowl of pasta with cheese
• half slice of muenster cheese, cut into tiny pieces

Best for... 12 months and up

• 4 to 8 tablespoons — that's 12 to 24 teaspoons, if you're counting, of cooked vegetables or fruit, cut into small pieces or pureed
• 4 servings of grain food (a serving is half slice of bread or 2 tablespoons of rice, potatoes, or pasta)
• 2 servings half ounce or 1 tablespoon each serving) of cooked meat, poultry, fish, or eggs

Момичета, давате ли червено цвекло, как, като сок, в пюре? Как притъпявате неприятния вкус?
