- Food & Nutrition 15-Month-Old Baby Feeding Schedule, Recipes and Tips
By the time your little one turns fifteen months old, he has started eating solid food. In fact, the little one has become a pro and started liking solid foods more than milk. The kid can now start eating many foods that were off-limits before. As there are very few food restrictions on the kid now, he can have most foods adults can have. With a nutritious diet, you can ensure he gets all the nutrients required for his growth. So, what can you feed a 15-month-old? Let’s find out!
What to Feed a 15-Month-Old Baby?
The little one has turned fifteen months old, and now he can recognize different foods and demand their favourite ones too. They have a different food habit than the first year; therefore, parents need to ensure they include healthy ingredients and balance their diet, not to forget in accordance with the liking of the young one. For a wholesome diet, baby food ideas for parents should include all the food groups. Let’s take a look at them one-by-one.
1. Fruits/Vegetables
- A 15-month-old baby can chew most vegetables.
- Try to avoid fibrous vegetables such as broccoli or cauliflower, which they might find difficult to chew. If you want to feed these vegetables, boil and mash them to make them tender.
- A 15-month-old toddler can have all the fruits now, but parents must cut them in small bite-size pieces, including small fruits like grapes to prevent their babies from choking on them.
2. Protein
- A 15-month-old baby needs approximately 13 grams of protein daily. So, parents can feed soft pieces of well-cooked meat or chicken.
- Fish intake should not exceed 12 ounces per week.
- The baby can have fish such as salmon, light tuna, catfish and Pollock as these fishes have less mercury.
- The toddler can also have scrambled eggs.
3. Other Food Items
- Include as many cereals as possible, such as rice, millets, wheat and pulses in the diet of your 15-month-old kid.
- Kids this age also love pasta but remember to choose the whole-grain variety to make it easier for them to digest.
- Cheese is also a good source of protein for the kid.
- Kids can now have nuts and seeds but in powdered form, not whole.
Once you know what your 15-month-old baby can eat, knowing the quantity/portion of food can help you provide enough nutrition per meal. Read on to know how much your 15-month-old baby should eat and the feeding schedule you can follow to provide him with the necessary calories every day.
How Much Should a 15-Month-Old Eat?
A 15-month-old kid should have a calorie intake of approximately 1000 calories per day. He should have three meals plus two snacks every day, which should have all the food groups, including vegetables, fruits, protein, grains, and dairy. The young one needs roughly 700 mg of calcium per day, which should come from milk and other calcium-rich foods. Also, several parents wonder how much milk they should give their little one. Well, 360-480 ml of milk every day should be enough to provide your 15-month-old baby with the calcium he needs.
15-Month-Old Baby Feeding Schedule
Your growing 15-month-old baby needs a feeding schedule made according to his/her eating habits. The parents need a diet plan according to the likes and dislikes of their toddler. The kid now has a schedule for sleeping, playing and other activities. He also needs an eating or feeding schedule to ensure he gets a wholesome diet.

Not every toddler accepts new foods. It can be quite a task to feed new recipes to growing toddlers. The tips given below will come in handy when you try to feed you 15-month-old baby one of the recipes given above.
Tips for Feeding a Picky Toddler
Most parents get confused about what to do when they see their baby refusing to eat. Try these feeding tips the next time your toddler resists foods:
- Introduce new food one at a time. Too many new things can confuse the kid.
- Feed the kid an assortment of recipes, so the baby sees variety and doesn’t get picky about one food.
- Be creative with the food. Try telling a story to hold your child’s interest as you feed him, or cut sandwiches in different shapes such as stars, animals, etc.
- Don’t force-feed your child. He will eat when he is hungry and will eat as much to fill his stomach. Force-feeding will make your child irritable.
- At 15 months, toddlers think they are big enough to eat their food themselves. Allow them to self-feed. Assist them if needed, but let them enjoy eating food with their hands.
- At this age, kids start wandering and enjoy exploring things around them. He might not like to sit for a long duration while eating his food and might get irritated sooner than expected. Therefore, feed small portions of food, several times a day.
- To keep the kid engaged in eating, make him eat with the family. To make eating easy for them, cut their food in small pieces.
Your little one is growing, so are his eating habits. The young one needs a wholesome diet for his development. The food you feed him has to be wholesome as well as interesting for the child. Therefore, incorporate an appropriate eating schedule with healthy recipes such as the ones given in this article and watch your little one get ready for the next growth milestone.

Toddler 12-15 Month Sample Meal Plan

Sharing is caring!
Toddlers are special. Especially when it comes to food. Some days they eat nothing, other days they eat more than you. They'll say no to something one minute and it'll be their favorite food the next.
So with no plan to follow, sometimes it can feel like a never-ending minefield.
And that's where meal planning can really take the stress away.
Jump to:- Why Meal Plan?
- A Note on Portions and Safety
- How this Meal Plan is Designed

Why Meal Plan?
Since toddlers flip back and forth between loving a certain food and refusing it entirely, meal plans can be tricky.
On the one hand.
On the other hand, meal plans can be a great way to give toddlers a consistent feeding schedule where you can proactively mix familiar foods with new stuff. Stuff they love with stuff they don't. And give yourself a plan to follow to prevent you from scrambling to find something (anything!) that your child will eat.
A Note on Portions and Safety
How much food any toddler needs is influenced by a number of different factors, including gender, age, weight, height, and physical activity.
For our meal plans, we have divided toddlers between 1 and 2 years old into 4 age groups and then taken the average energy and nutrient requirements for each one (as recommended by the FAO/WHO).
Note: Recommendations are actually roughly the same for children between 1 and 3 years old. So the meal plans for this age are mostly interchangeable. That said, we thought it would be helpful to give a few plans for this age instead of just 1.
So since these are general recommendations, let's lay out a few things that you should keep in mind:
- Some days your child will eat more than others – that's normal. They might want way more than you served one day and barely anything at all the next. Again: that's normal. Children naturally understand portion control and how to follow their bodies' cues. Unfortunately, we often un-learn that as we grow up.
- A hungry child should always be fed!
- You are in charge of what you serve, your child is in charge of what they eat. They might want more potatoes one day while ignoring the chicken on their plate. But the next day could be the opposite. Don't force them to finish something just because it's on their plate. They didn't put it there.
- You are in charge of monitoring your child's allergies and dietary requirements. These meal plans have not been customized for any specific child's allergies, dietary requirements, pre-existing nutrient deficiencies, or any other food-related requirements.
- Nothing can replace proper supervision of your child while they are eating. It should go without saying, but keep an eye on your kids while they eat. If you have any concerns for your child's health, you should seek advice without delay. And always follow safe food handling practices when preparing food.
The 12-15 months toddler meal plan is based on 5 daily meals – 3 main meals and 2 snacks which can really be served in any order.
It also assumes your toddler is no longer drinking breastmilk or formula (if not the case, consider a milk/formula feeding would replace a snack).
We have a sample day to use as an example, and then a "make your own" which provides a guide based on food groups. That way you can make your own meal plans based on the foods you like to eat.
Click here to see all our other meal plans here.
Sample Meal Plan
Adapt the order of the meals to your family's eating habits if it doesn't fit for you already.
However, try to keep a consistent schedule to provide your toddler with a sense of order to their day.
Lots of toddler breakdowns can be avoided by anticipating and serving them food before they get hangry!

Build Your Own Meal Plan
Use this to improvise each day, or to plan some meals in advance.
Quantities certainly don't need to be exact, but hopefully this provides a simple guideline to follow if you're unsure what your child needs.

Final Note
Both the sample meal plan and build your own are based on average recommendations per age per FAO/WHO/UNU Energy Requirements. But please adapt the quantities to your own child!
Hopefully this helps you to have an instinct for what kinds of foods to serve and in (approximately) what amounts. Ultimately we hope this makes life a little easier for you and your toddler!

Nutrition for children from 1 to 3 years of age
The period from 1 to 3 years of life is a crucial stage in the transition to an adult type of nutrition, which has certain features.
In order to ensure that all the necessary nutrients enter the child's body and at the same time prevent an excess of individual nutrients, nutrition should be balanced and varied.
The daily amount of food for children aged 1 to 1.5 years should be 1000-1200 g, from 1.5 to 3 years - 1200-1500 g, the amount of food in one feeding should not exceed 300-350 ml. The diet consists of three main meals per day and two snacks. It is considered optimal when breakfast is 25% of the total energy density of the diet, lunch is 30–35%, dinner is 20%, and additional meals are about 10%. In general, the child can eat the same food as the rest of the family.
In the diet of a child of 1–3 years of age , must be present daily: meat of animals or poultry, dairy and sour-milk products, vegetables, fruits, bread, cereals, vegetable and butter; fish and eggs are included in the diet 2-3 times a week.
Cereal products: bread - 2-3 servings per day, cereals and side dishes - 1 time per day
Fruit and/or vegetables: at least 5 times a day
Dairy products: at least 3 servings per day (including those used to make cereals, yoghurts, fermented milk drinks, cottage cheese, infant formula or breast milk).
Domestic pediatricians recommend, when compiling a diet for children aged 1–3 years, preference should be given to specialized children's dairy products of industrial production that meet high quality requirements and safety indicators for this age. Most children's dairy products are additionally enriched with vitamins and/or minerals and other biologically active components, taking into account the physiological needs of children of this age. At the same time, in foreign recommendations, children over 1 year old are offered the gradual introduction of whole cow's milk, which is rich in fats necessary for proper growth and development, the absorption of vitamins A and D, the development of the child's brain and nervous system.
Meat dishes: 2-3 times a day
Fish dishes: 2-3 servings per week
Eggs: 2-3 per week
Dietary fats: 3-4 teaspoons of butter and/or vegetable oils per day
When cooking, use the minimum amount of salt and sugar, and do not add them to industrial products.
Offer your child a variety of foods and let them choose for themselves. Children love to eat on their own, so if possible, offer food that the child can eat with their hands.
It is important to remember that a baby can choke on pieces of food, so whatever you give your baby should be crushed or cut into small pieces that can be easily chewed.
Do not give to a small child: nuts, whole grapes, cherry tomatoes (unless quartered), whole carrots, seeds (such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds), round candies, legumes, raisins, because a child can eat them choke.
Also in the diet of children of the first 3 years of life should not be present:
Mushrooms; canned snacks, pickled vegetables and fruits
Home canned food
Dry concentrates for side dishes
Hot sauces, mustard, horseradish, pepper, vinegar, mayonnaise
Natural coffee
Juices and drinks in the form of dry concentrates; sweet carbonated drinks
Products containing food additives (flavorings, dyes of artificial origin, including chewing gum), popcorn
Combined fats; cakes and pastries
It is important to remember that children of this age should not be given too spicy and spicy foods.
We make a menu for a baby after a year. What to feed a child after a year: advice to parents
Young parents who have a baby after a year often have questions - what to feed the child next?

- Sample children's menu for the day
- Children's menu for the week. Option one
- Menu for the week. Option two
Young parents who have a baby after a year old often have questions - what to feed the child next? Nutrition guides are full of complementary feeding schemes, but less attention is paid to the nutrition of one-year-old and two-year-old children. But after all, mom and dad need not only to know the principles of nutrition for the crumbs, but also to correctly compose his menu for the day, week or even month! It is necessary to plan the purchase of products, methods of preparation and even preparations for the future.
Let's pay close attention to the menu of the crumbs from a year to about two years.
Important note: the recommendations of this article can only be fully applied to children whose mothers adhered to the pediatric complementary feeding regimen and gradually replaced feedings (often with formula, but sometimes also with breasts) with certain volumes of "adult" food. Babies who are breastfed on demand are more suitable for pedagogical complementary foods, which are gaining more and more supporters. These children may not be able to handle the given portion sizes - however, their mothers may well adopt the recipes and general recommendations of this article.
Nutritionist - mother?
The principles of baby food for a child of 12 months remain the same as in the second half of the first year - a gradual expansion of the set of products and a gradual change in the degree of grinding and processing of the product.
To properly organize the nutrition of your baby, it is worth considering and compiling an indicative menu for 7-10 days in advance.
At first glance, this seems complicated - but let's try, using certain knowledge about products and their daily needs, to create approximate layouts.
When compiling the menu, it is necessary to take into account the norms of daily consumption of products - that is, which products must be given to the baby every day, and which ones - with a certain frequency. For simplicity, we will make a calculation for a week - therefore, we will distribute the products by day. Daily products are calculated based on the daily allowance, multiplying it by 7 days of the week, the rest - based on the number of doses.
Every day the baby receives milk and dairy products, butter, bread, vegetables, cereals, on some days of the week they distribute, for example, cottage cheese, cheese, fish, sour cream, eggs. Meat and fish are recommended to be given at least 5-6 times a week - that is, 4 times meat and 1-2 times fish.
Sometimes it may not be possible to cook all the items planned in the menu.
Then you have to resort to replacing the product with an approximately equivalent one. When replacing, it is necessary to take into account the calorie content and nutritional value of the product - that is, replace carbohydrate foods with them, fats with other fats, proteins with other proteins. For example, interchangeable carbohydrates are bread, bakery products, pasta, cereals. From proteins, milk, cottage cheese, meat, fish, cheese are replaceable. From vegetables - potatoes, beets, cabbage, carrots, etc. Fats are replaceable both vegetable and animal. However, by the end of the week, all quantities of replaced products are equalized.
Mandatory and indispensable in the baby's diet should be daily milk, butter, vegetables, bakery products, other products can be varied by day of the week.
In addition, when planning a baby’s menu, it is worth remembering to take into account boiling and loss of the product, take their volumes taking into account cooking - for example, fish loses up to 40% of weight during cooking, meat - up to 30%, vegetables lose up to 35% during processing % of its raw weight.
Feeding a child per year: age specifics of nutrition
In the first months of the second year of life, the main components of food are pureed or mashed with a fork puree and cereals. But the degree of their grinding should gradually change - from the beginning of the second year, you can switch to highly boiled and diluted and boiled with milk porridge, side dishes from heavily boiled vegetables or cereals - buckwheat, rice, wheat, corn or millet. Closer to one and a half years, with the appearance of 8-10 or more teeth, it is necessary to start giving more dense food - steam cutlets, meatballs, dark bread.
In addition, it must be remembered that up to a year and a half, the acidity of gastric juice is still insufficient, and therefore delicate proteins, mainly milk proteins, should prevail in the diet. It is advisable not to use confectionery and sugar in the diet of children under 2-3 years old, however, you can give dry cookies, homemade jams, marmalade, jams and honey from about a year and a half if there is no allergy.
5 or 4 meals of 200-225 ml each are considered optimal.
There are certain rules to follow when feeding babies:
- for breakfast you can have a variety of cereals, vegetables, eggs, cottage cheese, meat, fish. From liquid dishes - milk, weak tea, herbal teas, fruit drinks;
- lunch should consist of any kind of soup - meat or vegetable, second course - meat, fish or vegetable with a side dish and sweet - juices, fruits, compotes, mousses, soufflé;
- closer to a year and a half, a light snack is recommended before the first course - salad;
- for an afternoon snack, preferably a liquid, milky, sour dish with biscuits and fruits is better;
- maximum protein in the first half of the day - breakfast and lunch;
- dinner is built on the principle of breakfast;
- it is obligatory to have a hot dish at each feeding;
- after eating the baby should drink.
Sample children's menu for a day
