A. It's common for babies and toddlers to be attracted to junk food, especially if they see others eating it. But at 9 months and 20 days old, your baby should still be eating mostly homemade, nutritious food. ✅ How to Reduce Junk Food Cravings? 1️⃣ Don’t Introduce Junk – If the baby hasn't tasted chips, chocolates, biscuits, or packaged food yet, avoid giving them. 2️⃣ Offer Healthy Alternatives – Instead of biscuits, offer homemade fruit puree, yogurt, or soft boiled veggies. 3️⃣ Make Nutritious Food Look Tasty – Shape fruits and veggies into fun designs or mix flavors. 4️⃣ Set a Family Example – If older siblings or parents eat healthy, babies follow. 5️⃣ Distraction Works! – When baby demands junk, distract with toys, books, or playtime. 6️⃣ Limit Outside Exposure – If baby doesn’t see junk food around, they won’t crave it. 🔹 Best Snacks for a 9-Month-Old: ✅ Soft fruit slices (banana, mango, papaya) ✅ Homemade pancakes (atta + banana) ✅ Vegetable sticks (steamed carrot, sweet potato) ✅ Homemade cheese cubes ❌ Avoid: 🚫 Chips, chocolates, biscuits 🚫 Sugary juices or flavored milk 🚫 Fried and spicy food Does your baby already have a strong preference for junk food, or are they just starting to ask for it?
