A weekly planner with seven days of soft family meals for babies

This weekly feeding plan for 9 to 12 months offers three soft family meals plus snacks each day, rotating proteins, grains, dairy, and produce for balanced nutrition across the week. It's designed to ease the transition toward toddler eating.

How to use this plan

By this stage solids are a major part of nutrition, with breast milk or formula continuing. Offer chopped soft foods, encourage self-feeding, and provide water in a cup with meals.

Snacks and drinks

Add one or two small snacks like fruit, yogurt, or cheese. Offer water in an open or straw cup with meals; save cow's milk as a main drink for 12 months.

Making it your own

Cook once and adapt for the whole family by setting aside a low-salt, choking-safe portion for your baby. Repeat favorites and rotate seasonal produce.

Frequently asked questions

What should a 9 to 12 month old eat in a week?

Aim for variety across the week: iron-rich proteins, whole grains, dairy, and a range of fruits and vegetables, served as soft family foods across three meals and one to two snacks a day.

How do I keep meals balanced for a near-toddler?

Focus on balance over the whole week rather than every meal. Include an iron-rich food most days, offer different colors of produce, and rotate proteins and grains.
