At 1 year, solid foods – including healthy snacks – are now your child's main source of energy and nutrition.

Safe foodsFull-fat cow's milk as a drink, replacing breastmilk or formula. Honey. Soft-boiled and lightly cooked eggs. Small amounts of saltier foods like ham, bacon, sausages.
Lunch:
- Grilled cheese: Use whole-wheat bread, shredded cheese (which melts easily), and a little butter.
- Yogurt: Stick to unsweetened yogurt—babies don't know any better.
- Sandwich: Only use a small amount of peanut butter, because it's a choking hazard, and spread thinly.
- Soup: Broil broth with soft veggies and noodles.
Since yogurt is cultured and contains probiotics, it's safe for babies over 6 months. Plain, organic, whole milk yogurt is the best choice for baby, since it has no added sugar and the most nutritional bang for mom's buck.
