good information Renee, after 6 months, you have to feed your baby in a good manner. Give only healthy natural foods, fruits and vegetables are very important. Instead of raw fruits and vegetables you can boil them and mash it nicely then feed your baby. try to avoid all artificial foods.

From your measurements, his weight between the 50-75th percentile and his height is on the 10th percentile which indicates he is normal for his age. Stature is usually determined by genetics. If the males in the family have smaller stature, usually a male child will too. As a guideline for a 11 month old child should eat the following: Breast-milk or Formula (6-8oz) 3-5 feedings a day, Dairy 1 serving a day – cheese (1/2 oz) or yogurt (1/2 cup). Starch 2 feedings a day – Infant Cereal (2-4 Tbsp), bread (1/2 slice), crackers (2), or pasta (3-4 Tbsp). Fruits or Vegetables 2-3 feedings a day – (3-4 Tbsp). Meat 2 feedings a day – 3-4 Tbsp) or beans (1/4 cup).
At 11 months he should be eating finger foods and regular foods cut up in small pieces and he should be feeding himself (with his hands and possibly with a spoon) at 3 meals a day. Thank you for your question.
