The infant meal must contain each of the following components in the amounts indicated for the appropriate age group in order to qualify for reimbursement.  \nChild care institutions and family day care home providers should:  \n• Work closely with parents to decide what foods to serve infants.  \n• Offer food with texture and consistency appropriate for the development of the infant.  \n• Serve food during times consistent with the infant’s eating habits. For example, lunch components may be served at two feedings between noon and 2 p. m.  \n• Solid foods are introduced at 6 months or when developmentally appropriate for the infant. The provider should work with the parent to determine when solid foods should be served.  \n\n| MEAL | FOOD COMPONENTS | AGE\u003Cbr>Birth Through 5 Months | AGE\u003Cbr>6 Through 11 Months |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Breakfast/\u003Cbr>Lunch/\u003Cbr>Supper | Breast Milk1 or Iron Fortified Infant Formula2 ; | 4-6 fluid ounces | 6-8 fluid ounces;\u003Cbr>AND |\n|  | Iron Fortified Infant Cereal2,3,5\u003Cbr>Meat5, Fish5, Poultry5, Whole Egg5, Cooked dry beans5, or cooked dry peas5 ; OR\u003Cbr>Cheese5 ; OR Cottage Cheese5 ; OR Yogurt4,5; OR |  | 0-1/2 oz eq\u003Cbr>OR\u003Cbr>0-4 tablespoons\u003Cbr>OR\u003Cbr>0-2 ounces\u003Cbr>0-4 ounces\u003Cbr>0-4 ounces or ½\u003Cbr>cup;\u003Cbr>OR a combination of\u003Cbr>the above\u003Cbr>AND |\n|  | Vegetable6 ","cbCaihbiXrBSG4VF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihbiXrBSG4VF","pdf",253612,"English","# Infant Solid Food Readiness Form\n## Developmental Indicators\n## Solid Food Components Introduced\n## Infant Meal Pattern (Birth Through 11 Months)\n## Meal Components by Age Group\n## Serving Notes and Restrictions","[{\"question\":\"What developmental indicators are checked on the readiness form?\",\"answer\":\"The form checks whether the infant can sit up with little or no help, open their mouth when food is offered, and move food from a spoon into their mouth/throat without choking or gagging.\"},{\"question\":\"Which solid food components must be introduced for the 6–11 month meal pattern?\",\"answer\":\"Solid food components include iron-fortified infant cereal and/or meat/meat alternates plus fruit and/or vegetable components for the appropriate age group.\"},{\"question\":\"Are fruit and vegetable juices allowed?\",\"answer\":\"No. The form states that fruit and vegetable juices must not be served.\"}]","Infant Solid Food Readiness Form - Infant Solid Food Readiness Form | PDF",1791599904]
