As your baby’s appetite grows, solid foods are becoming a larger part of his diet, though breast milk or formula is still providing about 60 percent of his nutrition at this stage.

Although he may want more "grown-up" foods, be sure to balance his diet with Beech-Nut^® Stage 3^® foods, plus his Beech-Nut Stage 1^®, Beech-Nut Stage 2^®, Beech-Nut Stage 2 DHA PLUS™, Good Morning™, and Good Evening™ favorites.

At this point, his most important nutritional need is still iron. Try iron-fortified Beech-Nut® Stage 3® foods like Oatmeal & Pears with Cinnamon, and Rice Cereal & Pears. You can also keep feeding him iron-fortified Beech-Nut cereals.

Although he may want more "grown-up" foods, be sure to balance his diet with Beech-Nut^® Stage 3^® foods like new Homestyle fruits, plus Beech-Nut Stage 1^® and Stage 2^® varieties.
