POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. For a 6- to 12-month-old baby, solid food can be introduced 2 to 3 times a day in addition to breast milk or formula. Here's a general guideline for feeding:
6-8 Months:
2-3 times a day: Offer small, soft, easy-to-digest foods like purees or mashed foods (e.g., fruits, vegetables, and cereals).
Continue breast milk or formula as the main source of nutrition (around 3-4 feedings per day).
9-12 Months:
3 times a day: Begin introducing a variety of foods, including soft pieces of fruits, vegetables, well-cooked grains, and small portions of protein like mashed lentils, chicken, or tofu.
Offer snacks, such as small pieces of fruit or crackers, in between meals.
Continue breast milk or formula for its nutritional value, but start gradually transitioning to more solid foods.
Tips:
Start with a small quantity (1-2 tablespoons) per meal and gradually increase the amount.
Ensure that the food is age-appropriate, soft, and cut into small, manageable pieces to avoid choking hazards.
Make sure to maintain a balance of solid foods and milk to ensure your baby gets enough nutrients.
Always observe your baby's readiness and interest in food, and consult your pediatrician if you have specific concerns about introducing solids.
