Feed your child 2 to 4 tablespoons of protein foods daily, as well. You may give your child a variety of foods at this age. It is a good idea to introduce many kinds of foods to your child. You may begin a feeding pattern that matches the family's eating habits. If your child's appetite permits it, offer three meals and two snacks daily.
Some mothers also begin weaning their children from breast or bottle feeding at about one year.
There is no set age at which weaning should take place. However, your child should be able to drink from a cup. When weaning, gradually drop one bottle feeding at a time. Allow four to five days between the omission of each bottle feeding or nursing time. Avoid giving your child foods which commonly cause choking.
