Feed your baby milk, about 2-3 cups daily with a variety of other foods from the food groups listed below. Most health authorities recommend that a baby should be at least a year old before whole milk is given. Until your baby is one year of age, breast milk or formula is the most appropriate milk to feed your baby. In addition to milk, give several small servings from each of the following food groups over a 2 day period: Vegetables, fruits Meat, fish, poultry, eggs Cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese Bread, crackers, cereal, rice, and spaghetti. Speak to your child's doctor about any dietary or allergy concerns you may have for your baby.
