As babies grow past 1, their weight gain naturally slows, but certain energy-dense foods can support healthy growth. Here are nutritious picks:
- Avocado: Rich in healthy fats, calories, and easy to serve mashed or in small pieces.
- Full-fat yogurt and cheese: Probiotics, calcium, and satisfying; meets dairy needs.
- Egg yolk: Iron and healthy fats; already safe to offer fully.
- Nut butter (smooth, thin spread): Energy-dense; spread thinly on bread or fruit to prevent choking.
- Banana and sweet potato: Natural sugars and carbs for energy; satisfying.
- Red meat and chicken: Iron and protein; soft, shredded, well-cooked.
- Olive oil: 1–2 teaspoons per dish adds calories and healthy fat.
At age 1, specialized "weight-gain" formula usually isn't needed unless a doctor suggests it. Most important: watch growth curves and get a pediatrician or nutritionist to evaluate if weight gain has slowed for 2–3 months.
