Sample Meal Plans
On the following pages, you’ll find sample meal plans for the various ages using recipes
from this book, as well as simple snack suggestions that require almost no preparation.
Simple suggestions that do not require recipes will have two asterisks (**) next to them.
Keep in mind that all meals should be supplemented by liquids, whether that’s breast milk
or formula in the first 12 months, or cow’s milk, almond milk, soy milk, or other liquids
after that point. Refer back to the recipe chapters for specifics on how much of these
liquids should be consumed at each age.
4 TO 6 MONTHS
When your baby first begins solids, try offering just one purée each day, keeping in mind
the 4-day wait rule before introducing new foods. Once a couple of foods have been
introduced without a reaction, feel free to mix purées for more variety.
After a couple of weeks of doing well with just one purée, you can start offering purées
a couple of times each day.
7 TO 8 MONTHS
Babies move at different rates when it comes to all things, but especially in the case of
food. Whether you started foods at 4 months or 6 months, your baby’s reactions to food
will tell you what she’s capable of handling, and whether she wants more. By 7 to 8
months, some babies will still treat purées with cautious skepticism, while others will be
ready to move to three feedings a day. Here is a sample month that begins with two purées
a day and progresses to three each day after the first couple of weeks. Adapt as feels
appropriate with your particular child, and continue to follow the breast milk or formula
