You may like to replace breast milk or formula milk with whole milk, when the child is one year old. Low fat or skim milk is not good for children as they need fat for growth.
Your child should be given fruits, vegetables, breads, grains, and the dairy products to ensure all nutrients.
Give to eat them 4-5 times throughtout the day, because toddlers and small children can not eat much at a time. Follow the principles of the Food Guide Pyramid, portions and number of servings are less for children. Opened baby food containers should be covered and stored in a refrigerator for not more than two days.
Give only one new food at a time and watch for any allergic reactions.
Avoid foods such as nuts, popcorn, potato chips, corn, grapes, raisins, etc. These foods may choke the baby.
Do not give sweets or sweetened beverages as they contribute to tooth decay.
Do not give soft drinks, coffee, tea, and chocolate. Do not give any vitamin supplements. A child´s diet may be deficient in calcium, iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and folic acid. Healthy children should get all their nutrients from foods. Standard pediatric multi-vitamins may be given if your pediatrician recommends it.
Do not feed solids in a bottle.
Avoid giving bottle with milk or fruit juice to the baby lying in bed. This can develop nursing bottle mouth that may result in tooth decay.
Most first time mothers think that their child does not know whether he is hungry or they think that he is hungry all the times. With this in mind, they feed every half or one hour. This is not good. Note that over-feeding will make the child uncomfortable, he may even vomit, he may have stomach pain or too much gas problem.

During this time toddlers are transitioning away from the foods and eating habits they had as infants, and are moving towards a diet more like your own. Your job is to keep broadening your child's palate, by introducing new flavors and textures. Food preferences are established early in life so help your child develop a taste for healthy foods.
Toddlers have little tummies, so it's important to make sure that the food you serve is packed with the nutrients your child needs to grow healthy and strong, and limit the sweets and empty calories.
Your toddler will continue to explore self-feeding during this time, first with fingers, and then with utensils around 15 to 18 months. Give your child many opportunities to practice these skills, but lend a hand when he or she runs into major frustrations. As your toddler gets the hang of it, step back and let your child take over.
It's also a time when your toddler will start to assert his or her independence. The table is going to be one place where you have to give your child some sense of control. Allow your child to respond to his or her own internal cues for hunger and fullness, but you set the boundaries.
Remember: you decide what variety of healthy foods to offer at a meal, and your child decides which of those foods to eat, how much to eat, and whether to eat at all.
A Word About Milk
Milk is an important part of a toddler's diet, because it provides calcium and vitamin D, which help build strong bones. Kids under age 2 should have whole milk to provide the dietary fats they need for normal growth and brain development. When your child is two years old, you can probably make the switch to low fat or nonfat milk, but it's a good idea to talk with your child's doctor before you make the move.
Between 12 and 18 months is a good time to transition to a cup. Instead of cutting out bottles all at once, you can gradually eliminate them from the feeding schedule, starting with mealtime. Offer cow's milk in a cup after the child has begun the meal. If you are breastfeeding, only offer milk in a cup and avoid the bottle habit altogether.
Some kids don't like cows milk at first, because it's different from the breast milk or formula to which they're accustomed. If that's the case, it's OK to mix whole milk with formula or breast milk, and gradually adjust the mixture so that it eventually becomes 100% cow's milk.
Iron Intake
After the child is 1 year old, it's important to watch out for an iron deficiency, which can affect a child's physical, mental, and behavioral development. It can also lead to anemia.
To help prevent iron deficiency:
limit your child's milk intake to 16 to 24 full ounces a day
increase iron-rich foods in your child's diet like iron-fortified snacks, meat. poultry, fish, beans, tofu
continue serving iron-fortified cereal until your child is 18 to 24 months old
If you're concerned that your child drinks a lot of cow's milk or isn't getting enough iron in his or her diet, it's a good idea to talk with your child's doctor. Never give your child any vitamin supplement without consulting with your child's doctor.
Foods to Avoid
Although you can now start to offer some of the foods you've been withholding (milk, citrus fruits, whole eggs), be on the lookout for any allergic reactions when offering any new food. If a close family member has a food allergy, talk to your child's doctor. You may want to hold off on introducing that food and other foods that are commonly associated with food allergies, such as peanuts and seafood. You may need to wait until your child is 2 or 3 years old to introduce some foods, or your doctor may recommend allergy testing.
Avoid letting your child have access to foods that could present choking hazards, like popcorn, hard candies, hot dogs, raw vegetables and hard fruits, whole grapes, raisins, and nuts. Supervise your child at all times when eating.
How Much Should My Baby Eat?
It's a good idea to offer your child three meals and two or three snacks a day, but keep in mind that it's not uncommon for toddlers to skip meals. Allowing a child to skip a meal is a difficult concept for many parents, but children should be allowed to respond to their own internal cues for hunger and fullness. It's important not to push food on a child who's not hungry. On the other hand, a child should not be allowed to eat on demand all day long. It's important to have regular schedule of meals and snacks so that your child will come to expect that food will be available during certain times of the day. If you have any questions about how much your child should eat, it's a good idea to speak with your child's doctor.
