Introduction
By nine months of age, your little one will have become an expert crawler. He may change his positions quickly, push up to a crawl position, and try to sit back down. But he will need energy to continue on this one-man show, so offer him foods that are rich in healthy fats and protein. Check out this week 2 meal plan for your 9-month-old baby.
