#asktheexperts How many times we need to feed a 1 year old?

A. For a one-year-old baby, typical feeding guidelines include: 1. **Meals**: Three main meals per day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). 2. **Snacks**: Two to three healthy snacks per day. In total, you would feed a one-year-old baby about 5 to 6 times a day. Over the course of a year, this would translate to approximately: - Daily feedings: 5 to 6 times - Annual feedings: 5 to 6 feedings/day × 365 days/year = 1,825 to 2,190 feedings per year This ensures that the baby gets adequate nutrition throughout the day with balanced meals and snacks.
