What food is good to feed an 11 month old baby?
An 11 month old needs all of the same food groups as older children and adults. This table gives an overview of daily servings needed and approximate servings sizes for a well-rounded diet.
| Food | Daily Servings | Serving Size |
| Breast milk/infant formula | 24-32 ounces/day | ~6-8 ounces |
| Fruits* and vegetables | 4 servings/day | 3 tablespoons |
| Cereal, potatoes, rice, other soft starches** | 2 servings/day | ~2-3 tablespoons |
| Bread, crackers** | 2-3 servings/day | ½ slice bread, ~2 crackers |
| Eggs, ground/chopped meat, beans | 2 servings/day | ~2-3 tablespoons or 1-2 ounces per day |
*Juice is not needed in children, but if provided should be limited to 3-4 ounces per day.
*Whole grains are recommended.
