1 Answer

A. At 10 months old, a child is typically expanding their diet to include a variety of foods with different textures and nutrients. Here are some food suggestions for a 10-month-old Indian child:
1. **Cereals and Grains:**
- Rice cereal
- Oatmeal
- Soft chapati or roti pieces
2. **Protein Sources:**
- Mashed or pureed lentils (dal)
- Soft-cooked and finely shredded chicken or fish
- Paneer (cottage cheese), grated or in small cubes
3. **Vegetables:**
- Well-cooked and mashed vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, and pumpkin
- Small pieces of steamed broccoli or cauliflower
4. **Fruits:**
- Soft and ripe fruits, such as mashed banana, cooked and mashed apple, or pear slices
- Small pieces of papaya or melon
5. **Dairy:**
- Full-fat yogurt (unsweetened)
- Cheese cubes or shreds
6. **Finger Foods:**
- Offer finger foods that are easy for the baby to grasp, such as small pieces of well-cooked pasta, soft bread, or mini sandwiches.
7. **Healthy Fats:**
- Avocado slices or mashed avocado
- Cooked and mashed sweet potatoes with a touch of ghee
8. **Snacks:**
- Healthy snack options include puffed rice, rice cakes, or small pieces of idli.
9. **Fluids:**
- Continue breastfeeding or formula feeding as the primary source of nutrition.
- Offer water in a sippy cup during meals.
10. **Avoid Added Sugar and Salt:**
- Limit the intake of added sugars and salt. Babies under 1 year old should not have added salt, and added sugars should be minimal.
11. **Texture Progression:**
- Gradually introduce more textures, moving from purees to soft chunks that your baby can easily chew.
12. **Balanced Meals:**
- Aim for balanced meals that include a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats, and a variety of fruits and vegetables.
Remember to introduce new foods one at a time, waiting a few days before introducing another, to monitor for any allergic reactions. Continue to follow your pediatrician's advice on introducing solids and adapting the diet based on your baby's development. Always pay attention to your child's cues and preferences, as individual tastes can vary. If you have specific concerns or questions about your baby's diet, consult with your pediatrician for personalized guidance.
