  2. FEEDING YOUR 1- TO 3-MONTH-OLD During your baby's first 3 months, breast milk or formula will provide all the nutrition needed. Breastfeeding: > feeds six to eight times per day.

  3. FEEDING YOUR 4- TO 7-MONTH-OLD Experts recommend gradually starting solid foods when a baby is about 6 months old, depending on the baby's readiness and nutritional needs. How to Start Feeding Solids? Most babies' first food is a little iron-fortified infant single-grain cereal mixed with breast milk or formula. Place the spoon near your baby's lips, and let the baby smell and taste.

  4. FEEDING YOUR 8- TO 12-MONTH-OLD By about 8 months old, most babies are pros at handling the iron-fortified infant cereals and the pureed foods that have been introduced as part of their diet along with breast milk or formula.

  5. CHANGING EATING HABITS >No honey until first birthday. It may contain certain spores that, while harmless to adults, can cause botulism in babies. As you expand your baby's palate, continue to give new foods a trial run (a few days to a week) to look for any allergic reactions. >And do not give regular cow's milk until your baby is older than 12 months because it does not have the nutrition that infants need.

  6. By the time babies are around 9 months old, they usually have the dexterity and coordination to take food between forefinger and thumb so that they can try feeding themselves with their fingers. By the first birthday, babies usually are ready to go from formula to cow's milk. You've probably already introduced your baby to a sippy cup, so let him or her keep working on it.

  7. FEEDING YOUR 1- TO 2-YEAR-OLD Toddlers at this age are moving from the eating habits they had as infants toward a diet more like your own. Food preferences are set early in life, so help your child to develop a taste for healthy foods now. Your toddler will continue to explore self-feeding, first with fingers and then with utensils at around 15 to 18 months of age. Allow your toddler to respond to internal cues for hunger and fullness but set the boundaries.

  8. A WORD ABOUT MILK When your child is 2, you can make the switch to low-fat or nonfat milk. Between 12 and 18 months of age is a good time for transition to a cup. Instead of cutting out bottles all at once, you can gradually eliminate them from the feeding schedule, starting with mealtime. If you are breastfeeding, only offer milk in a cup and avoid the bottle habit altogether. Milk is an important part of a toddler's diet because it provides calcium and vitamin D, which help build strong bones. Most kids under age 2 should drink whole milk for the dietary fats needed for normal growth and brain development.
