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.

Mom of a 1 yr 1 m old boy

Q. My baby is 13+ months. he used to eat khichdi, daliya, oats, vegetable rice, etc in thick pureed/mashed form. Recently he has started showing interest in family food like dal rice, roti dal, chilla etc. But he eats them in very less quantity like 5-6 bites not more than that. If I try to give him anything in mashed form like he used to eat earlier after that he does not eat at all. What should i do? Does eating 5-6 bites of food fills his tummy? Earlier when he used to eat in pureed/mashed form he eats around half or 3 fourth katori. how should i make my baby eat well? how much minimum of a roti or dal rice should a 13+ month baby boy be eating?
