Since your baby has been introduced to almost everything, you would know if your child suffers from any food allergies and you can take care to avoid those foods.

Points to Remember while Feeding your 11-Month-Old Baby

#1. You should still continue to offer finger foods as they make wonderful snacks and encourage the child to self-feed.

#2. Continue to offer breastmilk and/or formula milk. Milk offers lots of nutrients to babies and is well-liked by most babies. You can reduce the quantity if the baby’s tummy gets filled with solid foods.

#3. Avoid giving refined wheat flour or any such packaged products that contain these as they contain artificial sugars and preservatives.

#4. You can offer small quantities of water to your child as babies start feeling thirsty. Also, if you notice hard stools, it is an indicator that the baby is getting less water. You can give water using a sippy cup as your child would have a fairly good grip by now.

#5. Avoid giving packaged juices to your child as they contain nothing but empty calories. Instead, you can give fresh fruit juice to your child as a mid-morning or after lunch snack.

#6. You can now introduce table foods to your baby. So, make your child sit with everyone for the meal and give small pieces of roti.
