An eleven-month-old baby can eat many of the foods we eat in everyday life together with us. It is important to establish the idea of eating at the table and for a baby this age to share the table with adults. Giving the baby a few bites without their noticing while they watch television or play is not a good thing. The baby should be aware of what they eat and eat consciously. Adults should develop good eating habits and set an example.
For all of us, it is good to avoid excessive salt and highly processed foods as much as possible and to consume foods naturally. Honey is also not recommended for babies under one year. Unfermented cow's, goat's and sheep's milk is not recommended either; however, fermented products made from these milks, such as yogurt, cheese and kefir, can be given.
Very fatty fried foods and excessively spicy or hot foods are not recommended for babies at this stage. Which foods are given also depends somewhat on the family. For example, a baby in a family from southeastern Turkey may eat very different foods from a baby in a Thracian family, depending on family customs. The aim is for the baby gradually to adapt to the family's eating pattern in the eleventh and twelfth months and eat with the family at the table.
