What has worked for me is giving them a water filled sippy cup after each meal to make drinking water just part of their routine.Īt first he didn’t know what to do with the sippy cup and would just play with the straw but eventually he got it and now easily drinks over 8 oz of water throughout the day. At twelve months the recommended intake of water is at least 8 oz daily in addition to the milk he’s drinking. If you haven’t done so yet, don’t forget to introduce baby to water. of milk three times a day (morning, before or after his afternoon nap, bedtime) and I've been giving him his weighted straw cup to transition him out of the bottle within the next week or so.

a day for toddlers over 12 months to make sure solid foods and snacks are their main source of nutrition and energy but they also recommend breastfeeding for as long as you’d like so I feel there’s some play room with this one. One year olds no longer need formula so you can either just switch to whole milk or transition them out of it if they are not loving the whole milk taste right away.Īccording to American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), we should limit whole milk consumption to 16-24 oz. So, what should we be feeding baby once he turns one? Based on my experience and what I have learned in the past five years since becoming a mom for the first time, I prepared this sort-of guide to hopefully help make things easier for you.

Going from being a nine-month-old to a one-year-old is a big transition not just for babies but also for us! Not just is your baby a toddler now, which I honestly still can’t get myself to refer to my baby as a toddler, but lots of things are changing especially what they should be eating.
