A piece of food that gets lodged in a lung can cause wheezing or coughing that's easily mistaken for a cold or asthma. Don't make the mistake of overwhelming your child with adult portions. You can always give your baby more if he's still hungry. Your growing baby will get all the fat she needs if she's drinking whole milk. There's no harm in adding a little butter to her vegetables if your little one seems to like it, but she doesn't need it.
Sugar adds nothing of value to the diet nutritionally.
And since it may prevent your child from learning to enjoy the natural flavors of food, it's better to avoid it altogether. Sugary foods also promote tooth decay. The serving sizes above are minimum requirements. Chances are your baby will eat more-and you should, of course, let her. You can also expect some variation from day to day-more bread one day, more fruit the next.
