7 Healthy Foods to Introduce at 12 Months

One of the greatest ways to school your child in food is to rotate foods or offer a variety. If your child tried something in the past and didn’t care for it, offer it again a few days or weeks later. It will take your child a good 8-10 tastes before he really knows if he likes it.
