Your kid can eat the same healthy meals as the rest of the family – if in smaller portions meal preparation should be easier now– and they’re old enough to have honey, They may also desire a couple of healthy snacks, such as fruit, vegetable sticks, wholegrain bread, or plain yogurt, in addition to their three meals per day.
You can introduce salt and sugar to your baby’s diet. However, avoid giving junk food like chips and processed foods like cakes, biscuits, etc, etc. which are high in sugar, salt, and saturated fats. Avoid giving fruit juices and prefer complete fruits as they have better nutritive value and good Fiber content. Avoid giving too much milk – a maximum of 400ml (just under a pint) of milk per day, including beverages and milk on morning cereal, is a good rule of thumb. Breast milk or full-fat cow’s milk could be used (full fat should be continued until your child reaches 2 years of age).
