There are many milestones that need to be achieved when a baby is ready to start to eat solid foods. Here are some of the big ones.
Baby Milestone 1: When They Can Start Solids
Most pediatricians, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommend introducing solid foods to babies when they are between ages 4 and 6 months. That’s when they start to lose the “tongue-thrust reflex” or extrusion reflex, which is important for sucking the breast or bottle when they are younger, but interferes with feeding. Babies at this point can also lift their heads up independently and hold their necks high.
If your baby is around this age, can sit up well with support, and shows interest in the foods they see you eating, it’s probably a good time to venture into feeding your baby solid food. If your baby is exclusively breastfed, it is recommended that you wait until they are 6 months to start solids.
Baby Milestone 2: When They’re Ready to Move From Puree to Chunks
“Chunking up” babies’ food is a process -- obviously, they shouldn’t go straight from rice cereal to raisin bran. But after the first few weeks of adjusting to eating rather than just drinking their food, your baby should be ready to handle a little more texture in solid foods.
Introduce new textures slowly. Good starters are mashed bananas or mashed avocados. You can also use the “staged” store-bought baby foods -- going from the smooth puree of stage 1 to the slightly thicker stage 2 and then the chunkier stage 3 by around 9 months of age.
(Babies don’t necessarily have to have a lot of teeth to handle more texture in their foods -- they can often gum soft foods very well!)
Baby Milestone 3: When They Can Sit in a High Chair
When babies are ready to eat solid foods, they can sit upright with support and hold up their head and neck. They're capable of sitting in a high chair! That's a serious milestone, but you'll need to follow these safety rules: Always buckle a baby into their chair for safety, even if they are unable to get out with the tray in place. As they get older and become more active, they may be able to squirm out. It is a good habit to buckle a child as soon as you place them in their chair -- even if you think there's no chance they could fall out or climb out. You may get distracted for a moment, which happens really easily when we are trying to do a million things at once!
Baby Milestone 4: When They Can Manage Finger Foods
Babies between ages 7 and 11 months usually tell you they’re ready to eat more grown-up foods by trying to grab them from you.
Almost any food that is healthy and nutritious and has a soft texture makes a good finger food, if it’s cut small enough: diced pasta; small pieces of well-cooked vegetables such as carrots, peas, or zucchini; and pea-sized bites of chicken or soft meat. Small, unsweetened round cereals and cereal puffs are also a good choice. Avoid feeding your baby grapes, hot dogs (even cut up), nuts, and hard candy, as they are choking hazards.
At first babies “rake” food into their hand, but soon they develop the “pincer grasp” that allows them to pick up small objects between thumb and forefinger. At that point, your baby can become a pro at self-feeding, so encourage finger foods and let your baby explore!
Baby Milestone 5: When They Start Using Spoons
Almost as soon as babies adjust to being fed with a spoon, they'll want to hold and grab the spoon themselves and put it in their mouths. That doesn't mean they're graceful, of course.
Most babies don’t learn to use a spoon effectively until after their first birthday, but let a younger baby who’s interested give it a whirl for practice.
Try giving them a soft-tipped spoon to hold while you feed them with another. They can get used to holding the spoon themselves and will also be distracted from grabbing yours.
When you think they are ready to actually navigate the spoon into their mouth, try thicker, stickier foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, or cottage cheese. Another tip: Put some cream cheese on the spoon and then a few pieces of O-shaped cereal on top. The cream cheese won’t fly everywhere, and the baby can get the experience of actually getting the cereal into their mouth.
Expect a mess! Use a plastic or other waterproof bib, and put a mat under the high chair to make cleanup easier.
Baby Milestone 6: When They Can Try Highly Allergenic Foods
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends introducing allergenic and non-allergenic foods, including peanuts, starting around 4-6 months of age, except in babies who have eczema or other food allergies. If peanut butter is tolerated, introduce milk (after age 1), egg products, wheat, and fish.
Baby Milestone 7: When They Can Drink Water
Babies don't need water during their first 6 months of life. They get all the water they need from breast milk or baby formula. Babies under age 6 months should not be given any water at all, because it’s easy to fill up their tiny stomachs -- and they should be filling up on the nutrients they receive from the milk to grow. Once they start eating mostly solid foods, around age 9 months, they can start water with meals using a sippy cup.
If your older baby shows an interest in water that you’re drinking, there’s no harm in letting them have a few sips. Just don’t let it replace the nutritious breast milk or formula they should be getting.
Baby Milestone 8: When They Can Completely Feed Themselves
Mastering eating with utensils is a long process. Most babies do not become really skilled at it until they are well past their first birthday. Encourage your child to practice safely, and again, be prepared for a little mess.
(How else will you get the “oatmeal in the hair” pictures that will embarrass them years later?)

Proper development and growth of a child depends on the quality of nutrition
From 3 to 11 years old, your children are no longer in the "early childhood" category, but they have not yet matured into "teenagers". They can eat almost anything, depending on their appetite, but what separates a three year old from an eleven year old is nutritional needs and appetite. Therefore, it is important to follow the right diet for each age.
Diversify your children's diet. Teach your child to eat at the table slowly and observe 4 meals a day.
Balanced diet:
At least 5 times a day: Fruits and vegetables. They are rich in minerals, vitamins and fiber.
At least 3 times a day : Dairy products. They are rich in calcium and protein.
At each meal, optional : cereals, bread, potatoes.
They are rich in carbohydrates.
1 or 2 times a day: meat, fish and eggs enrich the body with protein.
Wishes : Avoid excessive consumption of water (especially carbonated water)
Foods to avoid : Fats (rich in lipids) and sugary foods.
What contributes to the growth of the body, right: Calcium + Vitamin D
Calcium strengthens bones and teeth. It is found mainly in milk and dairy products. Vitamin D helps calcium to be well absorbed in the body!
Solution: PEDIAKID® Calcium C+
PEDIAKID® Calcium C+ has been specially formulated with a concentrated source of calcium (suitable for all children) to cover 100% of the daily requirement and improve absorption due to vitamin D. Its formula is suitable for children with lactose intolerance or milk allergy. PEDIAKID® Calcium C+ is available as an acidic powder stick with When flavor that can be dissolved on the tongue or in a glass of water.
Your baby is growing, gaining weight, and as a result, the volume of circulating blood increases and there is a need for iron. Meat is a source of iron, its formula is well absorbed.
Eat at certain times
Your child should have 4 meals a day, regardless of school or holidays. It is important not to break this rhythm.
Example 4 meals a day:
Breakfast : 1 dairy product (milk, yogurt) with a little chocolate e.g. + 1 fruit or fruit juice + cereal product (bread or cereals with corn flakes..)
Lunch : Tomato or carrot + vegetables served with meat or fish. We can add flour cultures (rice, wheat..), for dessert yogurt or cheese + fruit.
Snack : cereal or fruit or yogurt. You can make toast, compote... Don't forget a glass of water!
Dinner : meat or fish with vegetables (green lettuce and peas) + starch (pasta, lentils, bread) and finally cheese and fruit, for example.
In France, there are nutritional recommendations that are collected in GEMRCN and serve as guidelines for balanced nutrition. These guidelines provide guidance on the nutritional quality of a serving or portion size to be followed, and they apply to all food groups.
For meat, eg for one elementary school child: 60-71 g of meat (3 meatballs)
How to respond if your child is not eating well?
Try to keep a single food menu for the whole family and eat together with your child. Curiosity and enjoyment are contagious. The texture, smell, color of the new food may surprise your child. You don't have to force her to eat, but you can offer her food in various forms and encourage her to eat. Cooking and presentation can also make a big difference in the taste of food. For example - vegetables baked with cheese ....
Give your child a choice. .
For example, present her some desserts: apple, orange or yogurt... Do not forget about sweets (cake, sweets..).
You can also take your child with you when you go shopping at the market or supermarket, for example, give him the opportunity to choose a piece of meat or fruit.
Movement is life
Your child needs to make efforts not only at school, but also on weekends. Offer her a bike ride, a walk (at least 30 minutes), or gardening with her. Set an example for him and use every opportunity to stir her up. Sign her up for a sports group.

Healthy nutrition for children and adolescents - Growth and Development
Proper nutrition for children and adolescents is of particular importance, since at their age the main mechanisms that determine human health throughout life are formed.
For proper development and growth, children need a complete set of macro and microelements, vitamins.
Children and adolescents experience a period of intense training and physical activity, which entails a complex hormonal restructuring of the body, the activity of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, and the brain.
Peculiarities of children
Children's organism has a number of peculiarities that must be taken into account when planning a diet.
- Height - Children and teenagers need more protein than adults.
- High mobility - in children, the metabolic rate is high, therefore, more nutrients should be supplied with food.
- Children use more cholesterol. Cholesterol is an important component of cells, which is why it is so important to include natural butter in baby food. It is an important component of cells, the number of which in the child's body is constantly increasing.
- The perfection of the regulator mechanisms that control the accumulation and consumption of energy. The child's body knows exactly what food and in what quantities it needs.
The importance of nutrition for a child
Healthy proper nutrition of a child is the foundation of his full life in the future, it is it that ensures the growth and development of the child's body, both physical and mental.
It also prevents and strengthens the body against adverse environmental influences, infectious and other diseases.
It is for this reason that it is extremely important to create such a regimen and diet that would meet all the physiological needs of the child, taking into account his age and individual characteristics.
A child's health directly depends on the rationality of nutrition , so loving parents should approach this issue very seriously and consciously. Prevention of many diseases should be carried out from early childhood, and therefore it is so important to instill proper balanced nutrition in a child.
Features of the diet of children
The body of children and adolescents has a number of significant features in the metabolism and energy, this is what causes the fact that the nutrition of children is very different from the nutrition of adults.
For normal development and functioning, a child's body, especially during periods of rapid growth, needs much more energy than an adult's body.
To create new cells, grow tissues and organs, baby food is characterized by an increase in the intake of protein - the main plastic material, and special attention should be paid to the quality of the consumed protein, its amino acid composition.
A child's diet should be based on three basic principles:
- Balanced diet
- Moderation
- Variety
Balanced diet fats - about 31% and carbohydrates - about 55%.
Such a distribution of essential nutrients will have the best effect on the growth and development of the child's body, which is also subjected to increased psycho-emotional, intellectual and physical stress during the study period.
Cooking advice
Cooking methods such as frying should be avoided in baby food, in preference to boiling, roasting or stewing.

What you must have in your diet
Healthy nutrition for children and adolescents is primarily a balanced diet. Always take into account the needs of their body related to their growth, development, changes in the external environment, physical and emotional stress.
In the child's diet, the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates should be 1:1:4. Make sure your diet contains meat, dairy, eggs, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and fats.
It is also extremely important for children to include in the diet foods containing:
- Calcium is a building material for bones and teeth, it normalizes heart rate and blood clotting. Found in dairy products, green leafy vegetables, nuts and fish.
- Iron plays an important role in mental development, hematopoiesis, and the formation of muscle mass. Found in red meat, legumes, dried fruits.
List of foods that are important for children and adolescents:
- Porridges (ex. buckwheat, wheat, oatmeal)
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Greens
- Meat
- Fish
- Fats and oils
- Eggs
- Dairy products 90 Fruits and nuts 69
The importance of proteins
, an easily digestible protein containing all the necessary amino acids, including essential ones.
The need for protein is essential for growth, energy and body development in children and adolescents.
To do this, the daily diet of a child should include products containing animal protein (only it is complete in terms of amino acid composition): protein
The problem of protein deficiency
With a lack of protein in food, a student experiences a delay in growth and development, memory impairment, reduced learning and attention, the musculoskeletal system becomes weak, immunity is significantly reduced, and the hormonal system is disturbed.
The importance of fats
Fats also play an important role in the proper functioning and development of children and adolescents. They are a source of energy, some vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids.
If there is an excess of fats , then the absorption of proteins in the child's body is also disturbed.
Child does not use refractory animal fats (sheep, pork or beef) in the diet.
At least 5-10% of the total amount of fat should be vegetable oils (olive, linseed, sunflower), which can be used to season vegetable salad, add to porridge or stew.
The importance of carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are a very important part of a child's diet. They supply energy to the body, activate the work of the brain and muscles.
Deficiency of carbohydrates in children leads to:
- inhibition of growth and development of the child;
- reduced immunity and increased morbidity;
- lower sugar levels;
- vitamin B deficiency;
- disruption of the brain.
Therefore, the child must replenish his carbohydrates after foods that are a good source of carbohydrates :
- Vegetables and fruits
- Berries
- Fresh juices
- Milk - lactose
berries, fruits, pastries, etc. .d.), the child should receive a sufficient portion (65-70%) of complex carbohydrates contained in whole grains, vegetables, legumes, cereals, durum wheat pasta.
Nutrition principles for children
Mode
The diet should not be rigid in children. Nothing bad will happen if you move your meal for a couple of hours. It is much worse if the child eats without appetite.
Feed your baby 3-6 times a day and try not to force him to eat when he really doesn't feel like it. Children know what their body needs, and at the level of intuition choose what they need.
The main thing is to create conditions for proper nutrition of the child and orient him towards the right combination of products.
Give children choice and freedom
We have a special preference for foods - some we love and some we don't. So why are we denying this right to a child?
Most products can be replaced with alternative products. For example, milk is easy to replace with yogurt or kefir, and semolina porridge for oatmeal or rice.
More fruits
Fruits contain a huge amount of vitamins that are necessary for both children and adults.
The main thing to remember about the presence of allergies and combination with other products.
Protein nutrition
As a general rule, a complete balanced diet for children should include a uniform intake of protein throughout the day. Excess, as well as lack of proteins, is harmful.
The best option is boiled meat and fish combined with vegetables. Milk should be given separately from other products.
Toddlers: If your child refuses to eat protein, try Nutrimun. It can be added to porridge, pastries, sauces and other dishes that your child likes more.
Diso Nutrimun
Protein for children over 3 years old

Do not force-feed your child when you are sick
Give warm drinks and favorite foods if asked. It is recommended to adjust the diet after the illness of the child. Just go back to the usual menu.
Do not forbid physical activity after meals
Children do not eat for future use, do not eat their sadness and bad mood. They don’t overeat, so they don’t suffer from heaviness in the stomach and other consequences of overeating.
Drinking regimen
The child should drink enough, preferably clean drinking water. Water should be given as much as requested. It is advisable to teach your child to drink in the morning after waking up, before meals and at bedtime.
Instead of freshly squeezed or packaged juice, it is better to eat a whole piece of fruit.
Nutrition for the intellect
Good nutrition is essential for good development. And in order for the brain to develop well, different nutrients are needed in the body.
Smart foods include:
- Milk and dairy products
- Eggs
- Fish
- Seaweed
- Broccoli
- Whole grain spinach and cereals
- Nuts
- Fresh fruits and vegetables
As for trace elements, the most important for brain development are iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, calcium and copper.
- Phosphorus is needed for the formation of brain cells.
- Magnesium has a positive effect on the central nervous system.
- Iodine improves memory and intelligence.
Once again we remind parents and children that only a varied and balanced diet will help you grow up big, strong and smart.

Important nuances
A growing child's body needs a constant supply of vitamins, micro and macro elements, so always make sure that fresh vegetables and fruits are always present in his diet.
They are best eaten raw, between meals or as a snack. And, of course, do not forget about the drinking regimen: the child should drink enough, preferably clean drinking water.
When preparing children's diets, parents should take into account that the correct distribution of caloric content for meals looks like this:
- breakfast - 25%;
- lunch - 30-35%;
- afternoon tea - 15-20%;
- dinner - 20%;
- fermented milk product 1.
5 hours before bedtime - 5%.
Child's diet
Breakfast
This meal must be mandatory and consist of foods that can provide the child with nutrients and energy for a long time.
The best meals for breakfast are carbohydrate (porridge, pasta) and protein (meat, egg or curd dish).
Fruits, dried fruits and vegetables are also great for the first meal of the day. You can drink tea, cocoa with milk, juice.
Lunch
It is obligatory to have a small first course (vegetarian or low-fat broth), a hot meat or fish dish with a side dish of vegetables (stewed or fresh). Avoid saturated fatty broths and bone broths.
Snack
Breaks between meals for a child should not be more than 4 hours, so if at school or children. hot meals are organized in the garden, it will not be superfluous to bring something for a snack with you.
For a snack , fresh fruit, biscuits, bun, drinking yogurt, juice are best.
In the absence of meals at school, more “heavy” snack options should be considered (sandwiches with boiled meat, cheese and vegetables, etc.). Check out our baby food constructor.
Afternoon snack
This meal, which falls between lunch and dinner, should be presented with light protein food, for example, yogurt or kefir with a bun or biscuits, fruits.
Dinner
For dinner, it is best to offer your child a dish of meat or fish with a side dish, dishes of cottage cheese or vegetables.
Remember that providing your child with a proper balanced diet, you ensure his full development, strengthen immunity and growth.
What to do if the child does not eat enough
Sooner or later, a parent may encounter such a problem when the child refuses to eat. When a child eats little, he does not receive the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
To replenish all substances, you need to find the right approach.
Here we have collected the necessary tips to help feed the little ones and replenish all the necessary substances for a growing body:
- Create a single nutrition menu for the whole family
- Try to eat with your child
- Don't force your child to eat - you can offer foods in different interesting ways grocery store
- Cook with your child
- Increase activity levels - movement increases appetite and growth
- Add Nutrimun to different dishes - for example, you can sprinkle it on porridge as a powder
