A fifteen-month-old baby should eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at the table with adults. Trying to force a child who does not want to eat, or distracting them with television, toys or something else and slipping a few bites into their mouth without their noticing, are major mistakes. These can seriously affect eating habits for the worse later on. It is best for adults to eat three proper meals a day and for the baby always to join them at the table.

A fifteen-month-old baby should obtain at least half, or even a little more than half, of their daily calorie requirement from carbohydrates. Pasta, bread and pastries are not very dangerous for babies. Adults may restrict these foods, but they should not be restricted for children because children need many calories to grow. Carbohydrate intake should be balanced and arranged to provide at least half of daily energy.
