Vegetarian meal plan by age: 12

months

Written for BabyCenter India

It is important that you start introducing a variety of food in your toddler's diet

gradually. These will provide the calories, proteins, vitamins and minerals that are

essential for her growth. The amount of food eaten would vary from child to child and

would also depend on when you introduce a particular food to your toddler. Talk to

your doctor as well about the serving size that would suit your child.

Here we have planned a week's sample menu for your toddler. She may or may not

eat the exact amounts given here. You may even need to skip an option initially till

she gets used to eating right. See how it works for you.

Why not organise a whole week of your own recipes with our blank ?
