Hello all,
I want to know if what we are feeding to 1 year old is fine, and get some opinion on change. Looks like am giving more milk than solids, please review. We are continuing on the next step formula for toddlers and am planning to give that for 6 more months to make sure they get all the benefits from formula. Have not tried whole milk yet.
Morning - 7:30 am mixed grain cereal + 4oz formula
9:30 AM - 2 oz fruit juice (gerber)
11 AM - 8 oz formula
1:30 PM - gerber fruit - 3 oz or the med. size bottle
4 PM - 8 oz formula
7 PM - rice+dal+vegs+ghee - comes to 1 cup when mixed with little water
10 PM - 4-6 oz formula.

This is the schedule we have been following from last 2 months or so and during the 1 year visit the dr. said to give all that we eat but did not comments when I said we are trying to stick to 24 oz formula per day. But the posts here in this site seem to limit milk to 15 oz or so per day and more on solids. Please suggest where I can change in this schedule above. Should I mix the gerber fruit in cereal and feed them a heavy lunch? Should I cut down every formula feed to only 5 oz? Where can I fit in yoghurt or egg yolk or finger foods? Please advise for a healthy eating habits. Thanks much. gauri replied. accc to me u should gv lunch heavy n dinner should be light......coz day time children are active...even if u gv heavy lunch they will use that mu ch of energy in playing...

Hi Asha,
The diet looks good, especially with the formula. I would also suggest to add more solids. You can give yogurt mixed with rice or plain yogurt is also fine. My little one is 11 months old, I give him yogurt rice, dhall rice mixed with half egg york. How much does your little one weigh? If so, try mixing your cereal with soft cheese.
Hope this helps!!!
