A. Now that your baby is 9months old, you might see they're not as excited about eating. But it's not that they're not hungry; they're just bored with the same old food. Here's a little advice from one mom to another: Stop making their food all mushy. They're ready for more chunky stuff. Give them lots of different things to eat with their hands, both during meals and for snacks. Try to give them three meals and two snacks a day, but pay attention to when they're actually hungry. Keep breastfeeding. It's still really good for them. Just keep trying new things and stay patient.For more guidance on what to feed your little one, I found the food chart from 'My Little Moppet' really helpful. It's full of recipes that are common in Indian households and perfect for babies..

A. When I faced these problem I was advice by My Little Moppet to follow these tips to make my child eat food. It did took some time but worked well. 1. Don't force the child to eat the food. 2. You can offer food as a accompaniment to the main dish with only 1/2 tbsp 3. You can offer them in variety of new flavors like beetroot rice, pudina rice. 4. Change the shape of the food while feeding to the baby round, square use cookie cutter to give shape. 5. Kids learn by looking at their parents or elders so it's best you coincide your meals with the child's and playfully encourage the child to eat. 6. Offer food from your plate.
