  I don't have a guide or anything, but I try to make sure he has something from all 4 food groups at most meals (I'm a little more lenient with meat), and make sure he's still getting plenty of formula.

  unaveragejane:

  Is there a "food pyramid" or other guideline for what to feed babies at this age? I know most of his nutrition still comes from his formula at this age, but since he is eating a lot of solids now, I want to make sure he's getting balanced nutrition. I have tried googling for feeding guidelines, but I haven't really found anything useful yet. What kind of guide do you use to help your LO get balanced meals?
  

   

  I was just googling this yesterday! Too funny.... The only thing I could find was this on Gerber (I'm still looking). I don't use Gerber because I make her baby food but I figure the amounts of each food group are probably pretty close.I'm still looking though

  My doctor gave me a grid. I'll need to dig it up for exact guidelines, but the biggest thing was just to try and give a veg and fruit at every meal, and to get protein, grains, and some dairy each day.
