ANECDOTE

Typical 11-Month Baby Eating Example

  • An 11-month-old baby's daily solid food intake could look like multiple muffins, fruits, veggies, and proteins across three meals.
  • This intake might even seem equivalent to an adult meal, which is normal and healthy at this stage.
ADVICE

Trust Baby's Hunger Cues

  • Follow your baby's hunger and fullness cues rather than worry about meal sizes.
  • Expect intake to peak near 10-11 months, then decline as growth slows around one year.
ADVICE

Variety & Cholesterol in Baby Diet

  • Offer a variety of foods rather than the same food every day to avoid conditioning your baby.
  • Don't worry about dietary cholesterol in eggs; focus on balanced fat intake for brain development.
