INTRODUCING BABY TO SOLID FOODS From: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/wh-hichr.html Foods are usually (but not necessarily) introduced in the order shown below, with several weeks between different types of foods. Ages of introduction are approximate and may vary with individual babies. The baby's doctor is the best source for advice on when and how often any particular food is appropriate for that baby. Cereals should be mixed with formula or breast milk. Age Food Frequency
4-6 months precooked baby cereal twice a day baby juices between meals
5-6 months strained single fruits twice a day
6-7 months strained vegetables once a day
7-8 months strained meats once a day plain yogurt once a day baby juices between meals

Normal Diet For Infants - 0 To 12 Monthshttp://www.drugs.com/cg/normal-diet-for-infants-0-to-12-months.html Normal Diet For Infants - 0 To 12 Months <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script><script language="javascript" src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/cm.pub.drugs/caregiver;t=nutrition;h=none;pos=1;dcopt=ist;comp=;tile=1;sz=336x280;ord=749900341?"></script><script src="http://m1.2mdn.net/879366/flashwrite_1_2.js"></script><script language="VBScript"></script> GENERAL INFORMATION:What is it? Infant nutrition means making sure your baby is getting enough nutrients during his first year. Nutrients are calories, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. Making sure your baby has good nutrition can protect him against disease. It also helps him stay healthy as he grows older. Every infant is different. Your baby may need more or less of the items in each food group and may also need a special diet. Your baby needs regular check-ups to make sure he is growing properly. Consult your caregiver or dietitian if your child is not gaining weight. They can help you if he has trouble nursing or is not eating enough formula each day. Talk with your caregiver if your baby has diarrhea or vomiting, or can not take breast milk or formula for more than 1 day. This may mean that they are not able to digest the feedings you are giving them. Care: The lists below shows the amounts of breast milk, formula, and food that most infants up to 1 year of age need. This feeding plan provides 8 to 15% protein, 35 to 55% fat, and 30 to 50% carbohydrate. This also gives the right amount of calories and protein that your baby needs. Try giving one new food to the baby only once every 2-3 days, so you can tell if they digest each one well. When trying new foods that are dry or chewy, such as peanut butter, cheese, or dried beans, watch your infant closely to make sure they don't choke. Serving Sizes: Use the serving size list below to measure amounts of food and liquids. 1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) of liquid is the size of a soda-pop can. 1 cup (8 ounces) of food is the size of a large handful. 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of food is about half of a large handful. 2 tablespoons (Tbsp) is about the size of a large walnut. 1 tablespoon (Tbsp) is about the size of the tip of your thumb (from the last crease). 1 teaspoon (tsp) is about the size of the tip of your little finger (from the last crease). DAILY SERVINGS FOR AN INFANT DIET Breast milk or infant formula: Breast milk or infant formula are the only nourishment needed by most healthy babies until they are 4-6 months old. Cow's milk or other dairy products should not be given until at least one year of age. Your baby's kidneys cannot handle the high protein and mineral content well until that age. 0-3 months: 18-32 ounces 4-6 months: 28-40 ounces 7-9 months: 24-36 ounces 10-12 months: 18-30 ounces Cereals and other starchy foods: Rice infant cereal is the only grain suggested before six months of age. Other cereal grains such as wheat, barley, and oats can be given after 6 months of age. 0-3 months: None 4-6 months: 1/4-1/2 cup cereal (mixed) 7-9 months: 1-2 1/2 cup servings, including mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, breads, crackers, toast, rolls, soft muffins 10-12 months: 3-4 1/2 cup servings Fruits 0-3 months: None 4-6 months: 1/4-1/2 cup, pureed 7-12 months: 1/2-1 cup pureed, canned, or soft fresh fruits, such as bananas Juices 0-4 months: None 5-8 months: 1/4-1/2 cup 9-12 months: 1/2 cup Meat, poultry, eggs, fish, cooked dried beans, peanut butter 0-5 months: None 6-8 months: 1-2 Tbsp pureed 9-12 months: 1/4-1/2 cup (include cottage and regular cheese, fish, eggs, small pieces of tender meats, or chopped meats.) Plain yogurt 0-5 months: None 6-12 months: 1-2 Tbsp/day after 6 months of age Water: Most infants get the water they need from breast milk, formula, or juices. In very hot climates though, they may need 1/2 to 1 cup a day to make up losses. 0-5 months: Not needed except during very hot weather, or if baby has diarrhea. 6-12 months: As often as infant will drink. SUPPLEMENTS FOR INFANTS: Check with your doctor or caregiver before giving supplements on the list below to your baby. Their needs will depend on their diet. Iron From 4 to 12 months infants need about 1 milligram (mg) per kilogram (2.2 pounds body weight), or 10 mg per day at the most. Include all formulas and cereals in daily iron intake. Vitamin D May be needed if baby is not exposed to sunlight. 300 IU per day for 0-6 months 600 IU per day for 6-12 months Fluoride May be needed if water supply is low in fluoride. Check with you care giver for dosage of fluoride and the name of the product to buy. Vitamin B12 May be needed by babies of vegan (strict vegetarian) mothers. Check with your caregiver for the dosage and the product to buy. [此贴子已经被作者于2007-10-13 12:50:11编辑过]
上次luckystar发的8-12months 菜单，放在这里方便大家查询。 http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/babymenub.htm 具体请看这里，有0-12个月的菜单，共有17页，我就不一一贴出来了。 http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/extras/WBF_MENUS.pdfSample Baby Food Menu for Solid Food Feedings 8-12 Month old Infants Remember the "4 day wait rule"! The menu suggestions assume that you have introduced the stated foods and that you have waited the proper time period to detect an allergic reaction. This baby and infant menu sample is for example/idea purposes. It outlines examples and shows ideas for baby solid foods only. It does not account for, nor does it list, baby's total daily Breast Milk or Formula intake. See a "Suggested "Milk" chart for baby above. Always consult your pediatrician if you feel your baby is not receiving proper amounts of either milk or solid foods. It is important to note that not all babies will be eating the same amounts nor will they be eating the same foods due to the differing ages that babies start solid foods! You should look to charts and schedules as examples and for ideas about feeding your baby; following a chart or offered schedule may not be suitable for your baby! For example, there are many infants who may eat 4-6 ounces of food per day at 6 or 7months old while others who are just starting solids at this age may be within the 1-2 ounce range. Breast Milk and/or Formula are THE MOST IMPORTANT source of nutrition for your infant up to 12 months old!! Solids play a larger nutritional roll between 9-10 months old. Do NOT replace a nursing or bottle-feeding with a solid food meal and do not feed the solids first: until you thoroughly discuss a new feeding schedule with your pediatrician and until your pediatrician indicates that replacing "milk" with solid food feeding(s) is right for your baby!! Many breastfeeding moms supplement with formula as their milk supply may be low for a variety of reasons. We give kudos to those moms who continue to hang in there and offer their babies breast milk while supplementing! Hooray for you! You will find our menu samples include the use of both breast milk and formula, separately and together as a total "meal" solution!
