Food for Baby 12 Months Old with Weekly Food Charts

So, your little munchkin is not so little anymore. Are your birthday plans ready?  We’re sure that the first year would have been a rollercoaster ride for you but it was fun-filled, isn’t it? Your baby must be social now. He/she must be waving back at you and saying “hi”, “bye”, “yes”, “no” etc?

Don’t worry, if it hasn’t started as yet. Each baby is unique and so is his/her growth/development.

Having said which, at 12 months, your baby is now ready to eat most homemade food recipes. You must have observed that now the baby is relying less on breast milk/ formula milk, and enjoying the solids. 

We continue to follow the 5 meal planner. You can now experiment with citrus fruits as well.
