POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. For a 9-month-old baby, you can offer a variety of nutritious and easily digestible foods along with breast milk or formula. Here’s a simple meal plan:
1. Grains & Cereals (Iron-rich)
✅ Soft mashed rice with dal or veggies
✅ Oats porridge with fruit puree
✅ Ragi porridge (finger millet)
✅ Sooji (semolina) kheer/upma
2. Fruits & Vegetables
✅ Mashed banana, avocado, or chikoo
✅ Steamed and mashed apple, pear, carrot, pumpkin
✅ Boiled potato, sweet potato, or beetroot
✅ Well-cooked spinach or other green leafy vegetables
3. Protein Foods
✅ Moong dal (lentil) khichdi
✅ Boiled and mashed egg yolk
✅ Curd (unsweetened)
✅ Soft paneer or tofu pieces
4. Finger Foods (Supervised)
✅ Soft fruit slices (banana, ripe mango, papaya)
✅ Small soft chapati pieces with ghee
✅ Well-cooked pasta or soft idli pieces
5. Fluids & Hydration
✅ Lukewarm water (2-4 sips with meals)
✅ Coconut water (occasionally)
✅ Breast milk or formula (main nutrition source)
Foods to Avoid
❌ Salt, sugar, honey
❌ Whole nuts, popcorn, hard foods (choking risk)
❌ Cow’s milk (before 1 year)
You can give 2-3 meals + 1-2 snacks daily while continuing breastfeeding/formula. Let me know if you need a more detailed plan!
