POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 years agoA. Just like adults, babies need a wide variety of nutrients. They should get five servings of fruits and vegetables each day, though their serving sizes are tiny (for a 6-month-old, a tablespoon or two can be a serving; for a 1-year-old, it's more like 1/4 cup). A good phrase to remember is "eat the rainbow." Over the course of a day, serve lots of different colors, including green (peas, green beans, spinach, asparagus, zucchini), orange (sweet potatoes, cantaloupe), yellow (squash, bananas), and red (cooked tomatoes, red peppers).
Although it's tempting to count a cup of juice as a fruit serving, the beverage isn't as nutritious as you think—it often contains added sugar and zero fiber. Plus, if juice replaces breast milk or formula, your child may not get the protein they need
