Sample Meal Planner (11-12 months)

Alicia started eating quite a bit of food in these 2 months but she only takes 2 big meals mainly rather than 3 because she started taking longer naps in the afternoon and by the time she wakes up, it's time for dinner most of the time. Anyway, here's an idea of how I plan her meals for her (for most of the recipes of dishes stated here, please refer to Feeding at 11 months and Feeding at 12 months):

* You can vary the veggies for each meal/day. She has a mixture of veggies like broccoli, french beans, cauliflower, baby asparagus and baby corn from time to time but because she loves broccoli best, she gets that every day! :)

**A combination of different coloured sweet pototoes are served almost every day (choose from orange, yellow and purple!) because I feel that sweet potatoes are really jam-packed with nutrients.

***She eats a variety of fruits with us at night when we take our fruits.
