18-month toddler feeding?

Around 18 months, the concept of "baby formula" almost entirely shifts to family table foods. Rather than buying special "toddler formula," food from home meals served separately for the child is the most common and healthy approach.
In practice:
- Foods are no longer pureed but mashed with a fork or in small bite-sized pieces.
- Salt, sugar, and spices are absent or minimal.
- Each meal includes protein (ground meat, chicken, egg, legumes), vegetables, and grains in balanced portions.
- Finger foods (fruit, cheese, bread) work well for snacks.
Special "1 year+" formula powders (follow-up milks, packaged baby foods) are unnecessary; they're helpful only for travel or emergencies. Current pediatric guidance emphasizes family meals as primary nutrition after the 12th month.
