#AskTheExpert how much top food should my 9 month son eat in a day? I give him khichdi roti dipped in dal mashed potato etc but he throws out. he just likes breastfeeding.

A. As milk is easy to drink and requires less energy, lot of babies avoid foods and prefer only breastmilk or formula milk. In 9 months, you should feed 3 times main meals and atleast 1 snack. Give him lot of finger foods to develop chewing habit. Make eating a fun time and do not force feed. Feed in a separate room without any distractions in different shapes and colors and serve in kiddie bowl, plate or cup.
