Wic food for baby's first year


First Year Milestones | Texas WIC

The first year is full of exciting changes. Your baby will begin to eat new foods and develop new skills. The way you respond will shape his understanding of how things work. “He learns that when he’s hungry, someone feeds him. When he’s uncomfortable, someone changes his diaper, and when he’s crying, someone picks him up,” says Veronica Hendrix, LVN, IBCLC, nurse and lactation consultant.

As a parent, you play the MOST important role in the way your child develops. Here are some milestones you can look for and things you can do to make sure your baby has the healthiest start in life. If you’re ever concerned about your child’s development or feeding habits, talk to your health care provider or a WIC nutritionist. We’re here to help!

Great Job, Mom!

First year parenting tips:

  1. Breastfeed your baby for as long as you can.
  2. Give your baby breastmilk or formula until he is at least a year old.
  3. Touch and cuddle your baby.
  4. Talk, sing and read to your baby every day.
  5. Get regular medical checkups for your baby.
  6. Take your child for their routine immunizations at ages 2, 4, 6 and 12 months.

Remember:

  • Every baby grows in their own way.
  • If your baby was born early, it may take him a little longer to develop than other infants his age. 
  • Ask your baby’s health care provider if you have any questions or concerns.

0-3 Months

Welcome little one! At 0-3 months old, your baby will:

  1. Drink only breastmilk or formula.
  2. Show he is hungry by:

    - Moving his head from side to side and opening his mouth toward your breast or the bottle.
    - Sucking on his hands and fingers.
    - Clenching his fists.
    - Crying; it’s a late sign of hunger so try not to wait till your baby starts crying. Feed your baby as soon as he shows you he’s hungry.

  3. Eat and sleep A LOT without really having any kind of schedule.
  4. Have 6-10 wet or dirty diapers in a 24-hour period. Change dirty diapers as soon as you can to keep him from getting a rash or being uncomfortable.
  5. Cry often — sometimes crying is the only way that your baby can communicate. Be patient and ask for help if you find yourself getting frustrated. Never shake your baby.

Expect your baby to:

  1. At 1 month, follow moving objects with his eyes.
  2. By 2 months, smile at people and respond to loud sounds.
  3. By 3 months, move his arms and legs, especially when excited.
  4. By 3 months, hold his head up when on his tummy.

Positive parenting tips:

  1. Pick your baby up when he cries. Hold him and snuggle often — you CANNOT spoil a baby.
  2. Your baby likes hearing your voice - read and sing to him every day.
  3. When he’s outside the crib, put toys near your baby so he reaches for them.
  4. Act excited and smile when your baby makes sounds.
  5. Begin to introduce a routine, such as daily walks or a bath at the same time every day.
  6. Feed your baby on demand. Watch for his hunger and fullness signs.
  7. To learn more about baby behavior during those early days, take our online lesson “How Do I Know What My Baby Is Trying to Tell Me?”
  8. If you would like more information on feeding your newborn, check out our online lessons “How Should I Feed My New Baby?” and “Feeding Your Baby Birth to 6 Months.” 

4-6 Months

Your baby will:

  1. Continue to drink only breastmilk or formula until about 6 months old.
  2. Sit with support and have good neck and head control.
  3. Be ready to try pureed foods at around 6 months. It is a good idea to talk with your health care provider or WIC nutritionist before starting solid foods. Choose foods with only one ingredient and wait 3 to 5 days after introducing each new food to be sure there are no food allergies.
  4. Turn his head, push the spoon away or hold his mouth shut to tell you he’s done.
  5. Be ready to start learning to drink from a cup.

  5. Start making sounds by the age of 4 months.
  6. By 6 months of age, babble a lot and try to imitate sounds.
  7. Roll over from his tummy to his back by 6 months old.
  8. Start to recognize his own name.

Positive parenting tips:

  1. Cuddle your baby often.
  2. Continue to breastfeed! Nurse in a dimly lit room or private area if your baby is easily distracted.
  3. When your baby looks at something, point to it and talk about it.  
  4. Read colorful picture books to your baby.
  5. Play on the floor with your baby every day.
  6. To learn more about introducing solid foods to your baby, take our online lesson “Baby’s First Bites.”

7-9 Months

Mealtime is getting more exciting! Your baby will:

  1. Bring his head toward the spoon.
  2. Take many tries before liking some foods.
  3. Like to play with a spoon, but not be ready to use it very well.
  4. Slowly get better at drinking from a cup.
  5. Be ready to try foods that are strained or mashed with a fork.
  6. Learn to move food to the sides of his mouth and chew.
  7. Still need breastmilk or formula until he’s 1 year old.
  8. Need his gums and teeth cleaned twice a day.
  9. Start teething! Getting teeth doesn’t mean that your baby is too old to breastfeed. Sometimes, when a baby is teething, they may try to comfort their gums by biting down. There are many ways to help avoid this. If you are concerned about teething while breastfeeding, ask your WIC peer counselor or lactation consultant for help.

Expect your baby to:

  1. Copy sounds — your baby is starting to learn language.
  2. Sit without help, then crawl or move forward by scooting.

  5. Get upset and cry when you leave, then be so happy when you come back.
  6. By 9 months of age, use his fingers to point at things, and look where you point.

Positive parenting tips:

  1. Continue with routines. They are important at this age.
  2. Your baby enjoys showing off and getting praise. Ask for the behaviors you want to see. For example, instead of saying “don’t stand” say “time to sit” and congratulate behavior.
  3. Play lots of games involving back-and-forth play, like rolling balls to each other, pushing toy cars, and moving blocks into and out of a container.
  4. Play peek-a-boo and hide-and-seek.
  5. Be sure to talk and read to your baby often. Explain to baby what you are doing and how much you love him!

10-12 Months

Your baby will get into everything! Your baby will:

  1. Learn by making a mess! Be patient — your baby is just curious.
  2. Hold a spoon but need your help using it.
  3. Drink from a cup most of the time.
  4. Pick up small things like green peas between his thumb and index finger.

  4. Say one or two words and repeat them over and over.
  5. Copy what you do with your hands, like wave hello and goodbye and even blow kisses!
  6. By 12 months old, he will be crawling and pulling up to stand.

Positive parenting tips:

  1. Give your baby time to get to know a new caregiver. Bring a favorite toy or blanket to help comfort your baby.
  2. Add words or phrases onto what your baby tries to say or what he points to.
  3. Help your baby play with blocks and toys that encourage him to use his hands. Pushing toys like a wagon will also help with his development.
  4. Hide small, baby-safe toys and have your baby find them.
  5. Provide lots of safe space for him to explore.
  6. Talk to your health care provider if you are concerned about your baby’s growth and development.

If you are still concerned about your baby’s growth and development after discussing it with your health care provider, you can contact an Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) provider at 1-877-787-8999 . You do not need a medical diagnosis or referral to have your baby evaluated.

Union of Pediatricians of Russia

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.
