In order to make sure your 1 year old baby is eating a balanced diet, you’ll want to make sure he/she is getting a variety of foods throughout the day.
According to WebMD your 1 year old baby should be eating the following amounts of food.
- grains (3 servings)
- dairy (2 servings)
- fruits (1 serving)
- vegetables (1 serving)
- protein (2 servings)
These foods can be at meal times and also snacks.
For a complete list of food for 1 year olds in each food category, see this post: 75 food ideas for your 1 year old.
