Hello mom It all depends as to how well the baby is accepting solids as per that you can increase the variety and the number of meals and as well as the quantity as well you can buy now start non-veg and egg yolk if preferred apart from that you can give dry fruits and nuts can be introduced also more variety of fruits and vegetables as well legumes like chana ,Rajma can also be given Paneer can be given milk can be used in certain recipes only in a cooked form such as Kheer ,custard etc

GAURAVFather of a 5 yr 3 m old girl4 years agoA. Hello,
I am assuming that you’re asking about introducing solids to your baby and so till now he’s exclusively BM/FF. You can give 3 meals a day and 3 Bm/ FF in the beginning and then gradually increase the solid meals 3 to 4 times and BM 2 times.
If that’s the case please refer below-
1. Start with steamed/cooked fruit or vegetables in puréed form.
2. Introduce one food at a time, continue with the same food for 3 days for checking if any allergies. Mostly introduce in morning.
3. Since your baby is 9 months old, you can give pureed food for short duration until he’s interested in mashed food rather than purée.
4. Fruits - apple, pear, seasonal fruit, watermelon, orange, banana.
Vegetables- carrots, beet root, spinach, peas, potato, sweet potato, beans.
5. Once you introduce all the fruits and
vegetables, try to mix them and see which combination works more for your baby.
6. Then you can start with different porridge - ragi powder, sattu powder, oats, suji upma, barley etc. Also you can add all veggies and fruits in the porridge. You can find recipes on google.
7. Afterwards start rice, roti, khichadi etc
8. Use dry fruit powder in porridge for more benefits.
Thanks,
Sneha
