A. When your one-year-old baby gets their first tooth, it's a good time to introduce foods rich in calcium to support their dental health and overall growth. Here are some calcium-rich foods that are suitable for a one-year-old: 1. **Dairy Products:** - Whole milk (if not allergic) - Yogurt (plain or flavored, but watch for added sugars) - Cheese (soft varieties cut into small pieces) 2. **Leafy Greens:** - Spinach (cooked and finely chopped) - Kale (blended into smoothies or cooked and chopped) 3. **Fish:** - Canned salmon or sardines (ensure bones are soft and edible) 4. **Fortified Foods:** - Fortified cereals - Fortified tofu 5. **Other Sources:** - Beans and lentils (soft and mashed) - Almonds or almond butter (if tolerated and finely ground) When offering these foods, ensure they are prepared in a way that is safe for your baby's age and chewing abilities. For instance, dairy products should be whole-fat and cut into small, manageable pieces. Always supervise your baby during mealtime and consult with your pediatrician if you have any concerns or questions about their diet or calcium intake.
