POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy8 months agoA. For your 9-month-old baby, it's important to balance breast milk or formula with solid foods as she begins to transition to more solid meals. Here’s a general feeding guideline:
1. Breast milk/formula: Continue to offer breast milk or formula 3-4 times a day (around 500-700 ml total). This remains a primary source of nutrition at this stage.
2. Solid food: Introduce solids 2-3 times a day, including a variety of foods such as:
Breakfast: Mashed fruits (banana, apple, etc.), cereals, or soft scrambled eggs.
Lunch: Soft cooked vegetables, dals, small pieces of soft bread, or rice.
Snack: Small finger foods like crackers, small pieces of fruit, or soft veggie sticks.
Dinner: Similar to lunch, offering soft foods that are easy for your baby to chew.
3. Consistency: Foods should be mashed, pureed, or cut into small pieces for easy consumption. At 9 months, babies are still developing their chewing and swallowing abilities.
4. Hydration: Offer water after meals, especially with solids, and ensure that your baby stays hydrated.
Each baby is different, and the key is to ensure she gets enough calories and nutrition while maintaining a healthy mix of breast/formula milk and solids. If you're concerned about her weight or growth, consult a pediatrician to tailor her diet based on her specific needs.
