A. For an 8-month-old baby, you can typically provide the following meal schedule: Daily Meal Plan 1. Breast Milk or Formula: Continue to offer breast milk or formula 3-4 times a day, as this remains the primary source of nutrition. 2. Solid Meals: Aim for 2-3 solid meals a day. These meals can include: Breakfast: Iron-fortified cereal mixed with breast milk or formula, or mashed fruits like banana or applesauce. Lunch: Mashed vegetables (like sweet potatoes, carrots, or peas) or pureed meats (like chicken or turkey). Dinner: A combination of grains (like rice or oats) with vegetables or proteins. 3. Snacks: You can also introduce small snacks, such as soft fruits or small pieces of cooked vegetables, between meals. Tips Variety: Introduce a variety of flavors and textures to help develop her palate. Textures: Start with purees and gradually move to more textured foods as she becomes comfortable with eating. Observe for Allergies: Introduce new foods one at a time and watch for any allergic reactions. Always consult your pediatrician if you have any concerns about your baby's diet or nutrition.
