Here is a good guide for what a baby can eat the first 12 months. In general, babies need several snacks in addition to three meals a day.

* Breastfeeding and infant first solid foods if required, initially approximately 5-8 feeds a day, gradually reducing to five.
** The first cereal can be given at 6 months if your infant is ready for it.
*** From the 10th month solid foods can be gradually introduced (such as bread, fruit). This depends on when your child is ready.
