POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a 10-month-old baby, both solid foods and milk/formula are important for proper nutrition and growth. Here's a general guideline for balancing solid foods and milk/formula:
1. **Milk/Formula Intake**:
- Babies at this age typically need around 24-32 ounces (710-950 ml) of breast milk or formula per day.
- Milk/formula should still be a primary source of nutrition, but the amount may start to decrease as solid food intake increases.
2. **Solid Foods**:
- Offer solid foods 3 times a day, with 2-3 snacks in between.
- Each meal can include a variety of foods such as pureed or finely chopped vegetables, fruits, grains, and proteins (e.g., meat, fish, eggs, beans, and yogurt).
- Aim for balanced meals with a good mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
**Sample Daily Schedule**:
- **Morning**:
- Breast milk/formula upon waking.
- Breakfast: Cereal with fruit or yogurt.
- **Mid-Morning**:
- Snack: Small portion of fruit or a cracker.
- **Lunch**:
- Breast milk/formula.
- Lunch: Pureed or mashed vegetables, protein (like chicken or beans), and some grain (like rice or pasta).
- **Afternoon**:
- Snack: Veggie sticks or a piece of cheese.
- **Evening**:
- Breast milk/formula.
- Dinner: Similar to lunch with a variety of foods.
- **Before Bed**:
- Breast milk/formula.
**Note**:
- Continue offering breast milk or formula before or after meals depending on your baby’s preference.
- Pay attention to your baby's hunger and fullness cues to adjust the amount of solid food and milk/formula accordingly.
- Every baby is different, so it's important to be flexible and responsive to your baby's needs.
For personalized advice, it’s always best to consult with your pediatrician, who can provide recommendations based on your baby's specific growth and nutritional needs.
