Experimenting with variety and getting lots of finger foods in play are key at 10, 11 and 12 months old. Babies this age like to try to feed themselves and it is a good habit to encourage.

Heather Schoenrock, President/Co-owner of Jack's Harvest organic baby foods and baby food expert, says with the permission of your child's pediatrician, assuming no family allergies, you should follow the following food rules...

You can eat all of the foods allowed at

Plus...

At 10 months:

  • Add cream cheese, cottage cheese, beans and legumes, cheerios, crackers. Really any vegetable or fruit works at this point.

At 11 months:

  • Add tomatoes, citrus, cereal and bagels

At 1 year old:
