It's not always easy to know your baby's nutritional needs and to get started with dietary diversification or EMR. So to help you with your baby's meals, we've put together this table of typical meals for babies aged 4 months, 6 months, 8 months, 12 months and over. The ages shown are in completed months.
These quantities are given as a guide (except for proteins and fats, where the daily dose must be respected) and you can modulate the food over the day as you wish.
Today, nutritional recommendations indicate that there isno particular order in which to introduce the different food groups between 4 and 6 months: vegetables, fruit, poultry, fish, meat, eggs, pulses (lentils, beans, chickpeas, etc.), starchy foods (pasta, rice, semolina), dairy products, etc. Do you think this is a lot? Don't worry, it doesn't mean you have to eat everything at once! You will adapt the portions according to your child, his morphology, his appetite, his physical activity... Remember that each child is unique 🥰
Remember to offer water throughout the day and at mealtimes when the child is diversified. Do not add salt and sugar to food.
Up to 12 months, milk remains the main food for baby, who should take at least 500 ml a day.

Bonjour,
J’ai téléchargé votre tableau des menus types et je vous remercie grandement pour votre partage d’informations qui rend la diversification un moment serein et agréable pour toute la famille
Une question concernant les laitages à partir de 6 mois. Vous ne parlez ni de tétées ni de produits type yaourt pour les repas du midi. Est ce une recommandation de ne plus du tout manger de produit laitier les midis?
Merci d’avance pour votre retour.
Bonjour,
Merci pour votre message.
Les tableaux sont donnés à titre indicatif afin de représenter l’équilibre alimentaire recommandé pour les bébés par âge, mais ils ne sont pas figés. Il n’y a aucune contre-indication à proposer un laitage à midi du moment que les 500ml de lait sont bien apportés dans la journée.
Bonjour, tout d’abord, merci pour toutes ces informations
Mon bébé a 3 mois, il a commencé sa diversification à 2 mois et une semaine dû à un RGO avec œsophagites à répétition malgré un traitement médicamenteux assez lourd. Je tiens à préciser que notre pédiatre à écarter au fur et à mesure, allergies, intolérances, hernie hietal, sténose, …. On lui a même donné du lait en poudre AR, lait de riz, épaississant de lait…. Bref bébé n’allait pas mieux.
Bébé est allaité au biberon avec épaississant (gumilk) avec au début de la diversification de la soupe (maison), plus épaisse que son lait épaissi, 5ml après chaque biberons (de 120ml à 150ml selon l’appétit de bébé) puis 10ml soit 50ml/ jours car 5 biberons.
Aujourd’hui il a 3 mois, nous avons commencé les purées lisses (maison légumes ou fruits) + 5 biberons (de 150ml à 180ml selon l’appétit de bébé)
1 cuillère à café sur ses 3 biberons de la journée soit 3 cc par jour, sachant que le biberon du matin et du soir ne sont pas suivi de purée car avec son médicament pour l’oesophage, ça épaissi donc plus besoin de purée pour éviter les remontées. Je donne la purée après le bibi pour éviter les remontées, ça fonctionne bien, bébé re-mange enfin et surtout avec le sourire et appétit.
Étant donné que mon loulou est encore petit, j’aimerais savoir :
Quels sont les fruits et légumes les plus digestes ?
Dois-je mettre des céréales dans son biberon de lait (maternel) le matin ou attendre ses 4 mois ?
A quelle fréquence augmenter la quantité de purée (je n’ai aucune idée si une cc par jour où par semaine donc j’aimerais une indication pour ne pas aller trop vite (pour ses organes), bien évidemment bébé mange ce qu’il veut il n’est pas forcé, sachant que depuis la diversification, il n’a plus de problème de constipation (à cause des médicaments) et qu’il digère mieux ?
Désolée pour ce long texte mais je tenais à ce que vous ayez le plus d’éléments possible pour m’éclairer au mieux. Et encore merci pour votre travail. Bonne journée
Bonjour Laetitia, et merci pour la confiance que vous nous accordez. Malheureusement il est pour nous difficile de répondre à toutes vos questions concernant la santé de bébé avec le peu d’information que nous avons là. Le mieux que l’on puisse vous conseiller sera de consulter un gastro pédiatre ou une diététicienne pédiatrique qui grâce à une consultation pourra vous aider davantage.
Vous pourrez contacter Tiffany Deroyer, diététicienne pédiatrique (https://www.tiffany-deroyer.fr/) pour plus de renseignements au sujet de votre enfant, un accompagnement vous permettra de prendre en charge l’alimentation de bébé dans sa globalité et cela pourra également vous rassurer. En espérant que cela puisse vous aider, toute l’équipe Ma Petite Assiette vous souhaite une très belle journée 🙂
Hello,
I don't see anything at all about legumes in your table. It could be interesting to include them for vegetarians or parents who don't necessarily want to give meat and fish every day. Because it is quite possible to do it! It just requires a little more preparation to make them more digestible (I soak them for 48 hours and then rinse them 3 times for 24 hours. It is also recommended to soak cereals and dried fruits and seeds in general to get rid of the physical acid present in the envelope and in the skins which prevents the absorption of vitamins and nutrients). Coral lentils and aduki beans can be eaten as they are, but larger beans and chickpeas need to have their skins removed to avoid too much fibre for up to a year. Here in Portugal (and by the way, diversification is different, so I did a little bit like this and a little bit like that), the introduction of legumes is not done before 9 months but in the framework of a vegetarian diet (not followed by my paediatrician because they have no knowledge of that and are even in general, not her, refractory), it is possible to introduce them before, in particular coral lentils and aduki.
Just for information, other differences here: they recommend 30g of animal protein (I was hallucinating, but they are big meat and fish eaters here); no beetroot, spinach, celery and turnip before 1 year old because of their high nitrate and phytic acid content (well my daughter I give her some); Flour is not in the bottle and especially not in the evening but in cooked porridge in the morning (I always add a fruit and a dried fruit such as fig, apricot, date, and a dried fruit butter such as almond or peanut plus a little ground flaxseed for the omegas 3, and I vary the type of cereals and fruits enormously, etc. She loves it!).
I don't know about France, but I've learned here that it's best to supplement all babies with iron up to the age of one, whatever their diet. So here's to you!
Hello,
I downloaded your chart when my little one started diversifying in April. On this one it says fruit from 6 months at each lunch. Now I don't see it anymore. Was this a mistake? He loves his compote at lunchtime and I'm afraid of crying fits if I stop giving it but I don't want to give him too much... thanks for this chart otherwise it's very practical!
Hello,
We have made some updates. These are only guidelines and indicative quantities. So if baby likes his applesauce, we'll keep his applesauce 🙂 There is little risk of giving too much... bearing in mind, however, that breast milk/infant milk remains the main food until 12 months.
Have a nice day!
Hello,
The ANSES recommendations on eating and exercise (the downloadable booklet) are not the same.
They date from 2015 and will apparently be reissued soon, are your recommendations the ones that should be published?
Thanks
Alice
Hello,
The recommendations are those of our nutritionists and paediatric dieticians in line with the official ones.
Good morning,
As usual, it is very precise. However, I don't understand why the table provided in the dosies doesn't correspond to this one?
For example, in the dosages, for 6 months, it is 125g of vegetables +80g of starchy foods... here: 100g of vegetables +30g of starchy foods?
Can you enlighten me?
Thank you in advance.
audrey
Good evening,
Thank you for your message. First of all, the ml does not correspond to the equivalent in grams and some purees will be "heavier" than others.
In addition, in the Dosage Guide we only talk about lunch and dinner, on the table, it is noted that starchy foods are also present at breakfast (with infant cereals) which will complement those at lunch. The dose should therefore be adjusted for the whole day. Knowing that there is no risk of overdosing on vegetables or starchy foods.
Good evening 😉
Hi, my baby started diversification at 5 months due to GERD.
He's going to be 6 months old on January 2nd... So I'm going to start the meat.
At present he eats 120 grams of mashed potatoes at lunchtime and 80 grams of compote at snack time, with priority given to feeding.
My question is should I give him water? Is he being breastfed or is offering him milk after lunch enough, knowing that breast milk is 80% water?
Then one thing concerns me, you note in the table 6/7 months 100gr of fruit for lunch and 100gr for snack... Isn't 200 grams too much for one day? Isn't it more like 50 grams for lunch and 50 grams for a snack?
Hello,
Normally breastfeeding provides the hydration he needs, but you can offer him 200 to 250 ml of water in a glass if he feels the need.
And no, it's not too much about fruit... These are indicative quantities, you have to adapt to your baby. Some will eat more and some less 🙂
Hello, I discovered your site thanks to the Maison des Maternelles and Audrey from the Happy Mum and Baby agency, and I'm delighted!
I have three small questions to ask you: concerning yoghurts, is it essential to choose yoghurts specific to infant milk, or can classic plain yoghurts with cow's milk (or other) be given to baby? My son is 7 and a half months old, I have started giving him soup/purée with a little starch in the evening (recommended by my paediatrician), but he tends to sulk at the bottle of milk. I compensate with a yoghurt with infant milk. I've noted that he needs 500ml of milk, I suppose you can make up for the milk with other dairy products. But as for water, since he drinks less from a bottle, what is the recommended amount of water in a day?
Finally, regarding starchy foods, how should they be cooked? Melting so that it can be mixed?
Sorry for the long-windedness.... Thank you in advance for your time. Élodie
Hello,
Thank you for your message. You have several articles answering your questions on the blog and on the FAQ(https://mapetiteassiette.com/faq/)
For yoghurts, those with infant milk are interesting if baby does not take his 500 ml of milk, otherwise a yoghurt with whole milk can be enough.
As for water, you can add 200 to 250 ml of water per day if baby asks for it.
For starchy foods, it all depends on baby's ability to eat the pieces, but as soft as possible at first to avoid the risk of choking.
Have a nice day
Hello,
It's great, this table gives a good indication. I have a question about the 1/2 yoghurt. My son is going to be 9 months old and I wanted to know what quantity in doses it corresponds to? And is it only plain yoghurt or can it be fruit yoghurt too?
Thank you for your answer 😉
Hello,
Thank you very much for your message. 1/2 yoghurt is about 60/70g but it can be more or less depending on baby's appetite.
Before the age of one (and even after) it is recommended not to give added sugars, so it is better to give it plain. But you can add a little bit of compote without added sugars in it to give more taste 🙂
Hello,
I bought the dosages and came to look at the recommended daily amounts. It seems to me that this table and the one in the dosies do not correspond.
It seems strange to me that we give exactly the same amount of vegetables and starches at each meal at 6 months as at 12 months as at 18 months (which seems to be the case on the dosages table) whereas this is not what appears on this post.
Thank you for your additional information, like many parents, I have many questions about this wonderful stage of food diversification.
Hello,
Thank you for your message.
The chart was made by the doctors/nutritionists and specialists who also made the Dosie Guide.
The difference between 6 months and 12 months will come from the texture. At 6 months, you will mix the vegetables (starchy foods) with water or milk to make the texture smoother, which will make less solid food in the end, whereas at 12 months you will fill the Dosies with the "raw" food.
As we say everywhere (on this chart, as well as on the Dosies guide) these are guideline amounts, each baby is unique and will eat more or less. There is no risk in eating more or less vegetables or starchy foods. The food families to be careful of are fats and proteins, as over or under dosing could be dangerous. For the rest, you have to listen to your baby and yourself...
I hope I have answered your questions 🙂
Have a nice day
[...] indication on how much to give baby by clicking here. […]
Thank you for your work!
I have a 5 month old baby. How should I give her fruit? In juice or cooked?
Hello,
Thank you very much! Usually we start with cooked fruits which are more digestible. And one at a time 🙂
Have a nice day!
Hello I have read your table which is very interesting my baby has just turned 6 months old he takes pureed vegetables with a spoon at lunchtime I have also started to introduce yoghurt at lunchtime he takes a home made compote at snack time and I have just started to use wheat semolina in the evening bottle. the question I have is that he continues to ask for milk bottles at lunchtime because he wakes up quite early at 5:00/5:30 am is this a problem I have to stop giving him this bottle
Hello,
At 6 months of age, milk remains the basis of baby's diet at a rate of 500 ml per day. It is therefore essential not to eliminate it. The rest is there to discover new flavours and textures. So if baby asks for a bottle, give it to him 🙂
Hello,
My child is 7 months old. When I look at your meal chart, I find it hard to find what I am eating.
I have been giving him about 150g of homemade mashed potatoes at lunchtime. 10g of meat but not necessarily at every meal. plus a 120ml bottle
at snack time 1 classic yoghurt and 1 small pot of 130 gr of compote
In the evening 1 bottle of 210 ml with evening meal with vegetable flavour
Should I include a meal in the evening?
I see that you give 1 fruit at lunchtime and in the evening, is this compulsory?
I thought that fruit was to be excluded in the evening because it is rich in vitamins.
Thank you
Hello,
As mentioned, these are indicative quantities that need to be adapted according to baby and his development. Up to 12 months, milk remains the basis of his diet at a rate of 500 ml per day.
If you feel that your child has settled on the bottle for the time being, then you can wait to offer him an evening meal. And try this at around 8/9 months depending on his or her wishes.
Once again, milk is the most important part of his diet.
As for fruit, one portion a day may be enough for his age, but there is no reason not to give him some in the evening (cooked or in compote for the moment).
Have a good day 🙂
Hello,
My son is nearly 6 months old. he refuses to eat fruit. i have tried all means, cooked, raw but he still refuses. how can i make him like fruit? a fruit nibbler (dummy) is it good too? thank you
Hello,
Yes the nibbler can be a good option. You can try mixing some in the bottle too to get him used to the taste. You need to represent him regularly, he will taste it when he is ready, no worries 😉
I have a baby who is allergic to cow's milk protein and is going to be 6 months old. I have been giving him a potty at lunchtime with a 120g bottle and in the evening a potty and a 150g bottle. I would like to know if I can give him a compote snack and how much milk? I also wanted to know if I should increase the amount of milk in the evening?
Thank you for your feedback.
Hello,
At 6 months your child needs at least 500 ml of milk a day, you just have to spread it out over the day according to his desires 😉
My six month old baby is teething and won't take his bottles because I haven't started diversifying yet. What should I do to get him to eat? What should I do to get him to eat?
Hello,
You should talk to your doctor/paediatrician to see if you can give him other things like yoghurt with infant milk for example to compensate...
Hello, my almost 7 month old daughter is having more and more difficulty drinking her bottles of milk. I'm not sure how to get her to take her 500ml of milk, but I'm not sure how to get her to take her 500ml of milk. How can I get her to take her 500ml of milk? cereals? put a little puree in the evening bottle? give her more yoghurt? Thank you for your answer. I have also recently bought your book and it is very helpful in reassuring us about what we can do to diversify!
Hello,
Thank you for your message!
If she doesn't take the milk, you can indeed substitute with yoghurts with infant milk (1 yoghurt of 125 g = 150 ml of milk approximately), so that she reaches the "quota" ;).
You can also put some puree in the evening bottle, if she likes the taste of vegetables, it will also help to get her to take milk.
Have a good day 🙂
Hello,
My second little boy, now 6 months old, refuses purees or compotes.
I make everything at home, I try to vary the tastes but nothing works...
He only drinks a bottle of soup in the evening...
Can you please help me?
Hello,
Until baby is 12 months old, the main food is still milk (breast or infant), at least 500 ml per day. It covers 70% of nutritional needs. Diversification is only there to help him discover new flavours and textures. So don't worry.
Continue to offer him food regularly. It takes an average of 7 to 8 performances for a food to be accepted... He may not be ready yet. It will come 🙂
I have just looked at the chart and my 8 month old daughter is far from eating what is indicated. In the morning it's 250ml of breastmilk, at lunchtime between 150 and 200gr of homemade pot and 1 yoghurt at snack time, about 100gr divided between compote and yoghurt and in the evening 250ml of breastmilk. Is it just a small appetite or does she need to be offered something else? I say that too because for the last week she has been waking up at 4am to drink and doesn't ask for anything until the end of the morning 11am/12am. Should we offer her vegetables in the evening?
Hello,
This table has been drawn up with our specialists and nutritionist as a guide.
Each child is unique and has his own rhythm. Until the child is 12 months old, milk covers 70% of his nutritional needs (minimum 500 ml per day). So don't panic 😉
If your daughter wakes up in the night, it may be time to offer her vegetables in the evening, with why not a little starch to "calm her down". Not forgetting the bottle of milk 😉
Hello, my daughter is 6 1/2 months old, I started diversifying at 4 months. When should I start including a meal in the evening? When should I stop feeding her at lunchtime? She is currently taking 120g of puree, I have just started meat and fish. She also has a 150ml bottle.
Hello,
It's when you feel like it, and when you feel that baby is ready (evening meals are generally well established from 8 months). But you can offer it as early as 6 months, if you feel she is ready.
The midday bottle can be discontinued at 6 months, and you can give her a dairy product for dessert. Be careful, she must have at least 500 ml of milk per day for her good development.
Hello,
I bought the dosages, and I have a silly question: do the recommended doses correspond to what the child should eat over a day (breakfast + dinner) or for one meal (breakfast or dinner)?
For example, for a 6 month old, should I give a spoonful of vegetables at lunchtime AND in the evening? The same for fruit? Do I have to give the first spoonful of fruit at noon AND at snack time?
Thank you for your help!
Hello,
Thank you for your purchase 😉
The guide corresponds to a meal (lunch or dinner), it is indicated at the bottom of the table on the right. At 6 months, you will therefore offer a spoon 1 of well blended cooked vegetables :), which you can also use for fruit compote. You should adapt the quantities according to baby's appetite, the Dosies are there to give you guidelines.
However, be careful with proteins, which are only given at breakfast.
Have a good day!
Hello,
Thank you for your answer, so if I understand biEn, I have to give at 6 months, a spoon 1 of cooked vegetables at noon, AND a spoon 1 of cooked vegetables at night?
Thank you!
Hello,
Absolutely. After that you will adapt according to baby 🙂
Hello
My daughter is 13 months old and will be 14 months old on April 14. Can I give her cooked shrimp?
Hello, yes if they are well cooked, no problem.
Hello,
How do you know when to introduce an evening meal for baby?
Hello,
It's when you feel like it, and when you feel that baby is ready (evening meals are generally well established from 8 months).
At the beginning, you can start with a few spoonfuls of infant flour in the evening bottle to "settle him down", then gradually offer him new foods.
The evening meal should be adapted according to what he has eaten during the day, with a few rules: never proteins in the evening, only at lunchtime, and always keep the milk bottles which are essential for his growth and development. As for the rest, it's all about discovering flavours, tastes and textures... You'll see how baby reacts to this.
My 11 month old daughter (tomorrow) is currently drinking 210-240 milk with cereal for dinner. I would like to start potlucks as she always wants to eat what we eat but I'm afraid it will be a lot of vegetables + milk.
I've bought the little pots for the evening (inside there are starchy vegetables and milk like Blédiner). Should I give her 2nd age milk? I think the jars are 200g....
Thank you for your reply.
Hello,
Yes, at 11 months she should be drinking 500 ml of milk a day, as this is the food that covers her nutritional needs the most at the moment.
Have a nice day
Hello,
I am exclusively breastfeeding and I want to start diversification at 6 months, I have to follow the 4/5 months column (the beginning of diversification) or 6/7 months
Hello,
Yes, you can follow the 4/5 months column to introduce him to new foods. Milk is still the main food at that age.
Have a nice day
I am going to start diversification for my 4 month old baby. I would like to know from when we introduce starchy foods (potato type) is it from 4 months or rather 6 months. And so for the preparation no fat, spices or onions before 6 months? Thank you for your answer.
Hello,
Potatoes can be given from the beginning of diversification, fats from 6 months and the same goes for spices. It is better to introduce them to the taste of plain foods first.
We have made charts to help you with the introduction of foods: https: //mapetiteassiette.com/2018/07/12/tous-les-aliments-par-ages
🙂
Hello,
I have bought the pods. When I start diversification at 17 weeks, I will introduce smooth fruits and vegetables but when you say a few spoonfuls, how many dosies does that mean? And should we start fruits and vegetables at the same time? Thank you very much 🙂
Good evening,
Thank you very much for your purchase.
The diversification is done with the spoon 3, as indicated on the small guide enclosed with the Dosies. But at the beginning, it's really about introducing baby to flavours. This is going to be a big change for him, so he'll probably just taste it. Don't worry, the milk will give him all the nutrition he needs.
You can start fruit and veg, with just one product each time to check for possible allergies 🙂
