How many meals should a baby eat after 1 year?
⚡ Short answer: After 1 year: 3 main meals + 1-2 snacks; milk is no longer the main nutrition but supporting (400-500 ml daily) and counts as a snack—too much milk before meals can spoil appetite.

My baby just turned 1. How many main meals and snacks per day, and does milk count as a meal?

Turning 1 is a big milestone—transitioning to family meals starts now. Generally: 3 main meals + 1-2 healthy snacks per day. Breast milk or formula is now supplementary, not primary nutrition: about 400-500 ml daily is enough and can be considered a snack, not replacing a meal. So afternoon milk after a nap can count as a snack but giving too much milk before a meal can kill appetite. Start portions small with foods your baby already likes—not spoon after spoon, but small tastes. If baby refuses food, don't worry; this "one-year-old phase" is common; don't pressure, just keep offering the same foods in different ways.
