A. For a 9-month-old baby, you can start introducing a variety of solid foods while maintaining breastfeeding or formula feeding. Here are some foods you can try for your 9-month-old: 1. Soft Fruits: Bananas: Mashed or cut into small pieces. Apples: Soft-cooked and pureed or in small soft chunks. Pears: Soft-cooked or mashed. 2. Vegetables: Carrots: Cooked and mashed or in soft sticks for self-feeding. Sweet Potatoes: Mashed or cut into small pieces. Peas: Cooked and mashed or pureed. 3. Cereals and Grains: Cerelac (stage-appropriate) or homemade porridge made with oats, rice, or other grains. Small pieces of bread (whole wheat is preferable) for finger feeding. Rice: Soft-cooked rice, mashed or in small, soft pieces. 4. Proteins: Mashed lentils or dal: Well-cooked, soft, and mashed. Eggs: Scrambled or hard-boiled and cut into small pieces (ensure no allergies). Chicken or fish: Soft-cooked, mashed or shredded. 5. Dairy: Yogurt: Plain, full-fat, and unsweetened. Cheese: Soft cheeses like paneer or cheddar, cut into small pieces. 6. Finger Foods: Pasta: Soft-cooked pasta pieces. Toast or crackers: Whole-grain bread or crackers cut into small pieces. Vegetable sticks: Soft-cooked carrots, cucumber, or zucchini in easy-to-hold pieces. Tips: Finger Foods: At 9 months, babies enjoy picking up food and feeding themselves. Try to give soft, easy-to-grip foods. Introduce Water: Offer small amounts of water in a sippy cup. No Salt or Sugar: Avoid adding salt, sugar, or honey to your baby’s food. Important Considerations: Make sure the food is soft and cut into small pieces to prevent choking. Always supervise your baby while eating. If introducing new foods, watch for any signs of food allergies. If you are unsure about any specific food or if you notice any adverse reactions, it’s best to consult your pediatrician.
