There is a considerable amount of change in your baby’s diet by the time they turn 12 months. At this age, your baby is undergoing development and growth because of which they need a change in their food intake. Moreover, your child is at an exploring age where his/her likes and dislike may vary from time to time. That said, keep these pointers in mind to give your baby the required nutrients at this turning point.

As your child enters his/her second year, a lot has changed. Your toddler has had its first solid meal, he/she has started learning self-feeding methods and has made initial attempts at walking. The baby’s physical and social skills have begun to develop.

The 12-14 months phase in a child's life is an exciting time. The baby now learns to move around and have a greater control over his surrounding including food. During this stage, his motor skills develop at a rapid pace and your toddler would like to touch, smell and taste everything around. As your child immerses in this happy time, support his growth by making healthy food a part of his diet.

There is a lot to consider when putting together a healthy meal plan for your toddler. The following suggestions include most of what your toddler will need every day and will make the planning process easier. This is simply a guide - individual toddler needs will vary depending on their activity levels and age.
