nutrition ideas for 11 months old baby?

Something else that you can also mix in with pretty much ANYTHING you give your child or anything you bake for an added nutritional boost is wheat germ:

Quinoa is an EXCELLENT product to feed your child at this age. You can get it either in flake form for cereal or to mix in baked items or in uncooked, whole form. Usually available in the all natural food sections in stores or at a Natural foods market. I would definitely flavor it up with a little brown sugar, baby yogurt or cinnamon, as it is really bland otherwise (if using for cereal).

This is an also excellent website in general for information on what to feed your baby and recipes. Once your child is transitioned onto whole milk, I would start substituting a multivitamin as well. My son gets a half dose of Enfamil Poly Vi Sol w/iron in his morning milk everyday. At 11 months he was eating pretty much everything and I didn't skimp on the seasonings. We don't like flavorless food, so why should they? :)

Laura: there are WAY better sources of protein then refried beans. Unless you're using the Vegan ones, most contain lard...not something I would want to consume. See the quinoa link above if you are looking for a good source of protein for your son.

Check out this link to a feeding therapists website. I used to work with her. www.SpectrumSpeech.com

My son likes refried beans and they are a good source of protein. Beans are a good healthy food that often gets forgotten about.

Honestly, just formula or breast milk and try to have them on different baby foods. You can try different foods you eat, but just try to stay with the basics. if they show interest in your food...let them try it. theres really a whole lot of sources of nutrients for babies.

My 11 month old eats everything we eat.. loves his fruit and veggies and cheese and youghurt. he has a variety of meats in his diet and so far has liked them all, but his favourite i would have to say is chicken. As long as you offer a wide variety from all the food groups and let them eat at their own pace then all is good!!

If you are unable to still nurse, I would highly recommend Reliv Now for Kids. This is by far the safest supplement you can give a child. This is nutrition made simple and your baby will be getting all of the important vitamins, minerals, DHA, PS & PC which are critical components in the healthy function of children's minds and bodies. It has the purest ingredients and is fantastic for prevention.

Unfortunately with the way our food is grown or processed, there is always going to be something on it or in it that our bodies really don't want (unless we grow the food ourselves). We honestly don't know how long it takes for grown food to get to the stores so we don't really know what percentage of vitamins and nutrients are in the produce that we purchase.

You can get more information at miracleshappen.reliv.com or email me or call me at 847-321-0556.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Lots of wholegrains such as brown rice, millet, barley, oats to which you can add different fruit/veges. Yoghurt is also great as you can mix in some blended fruits. I also blend some nuts and seeds in such as almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pepitas, linseeds as they are high in protein etc. But that's up to you as some don't start till later with nuts due to allergies, if you do, I would try slowly and make sure they are ground not whole.

I fed mine with everything we ate at that age... Just don't use hot spices or to much salt avoid artificial flavours. If your little one eats fruits and veggies, whole wheats and meat additional vitamines shouldn't be needed... Just let him eat everything out of is own hand...

I would agree with the rest of the ladies. But I would also add in a baby multivitamin. My son has been taking one since he was 6 months old. It is in a powder form, so you can mix it in baby food or in a bottle or whatever. But choose a high quality one, so you aren't paying for junk. My son's is from Shaklee. You can find them here: www.caranitz.myshaklee.com

Breastmilk for formual still, but he can have alot of variety in his foods. Just try to keep it balanaced, fruit and vegetables, meats and whole wheats. yogurt and cheese if you have introduced dairy already. Try to stay away from things that arent going to give him anything nutritionally at this age: cookies, treats, sugary cereals, fast food etc.
