POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 11 m old boy2 years agoA. Feeding a 9-month-old baby solid food while they are in a sleeping position is not recommended. It's important for babies to be in an upright or semi-upright position while eating solid foods to reduce the risk of choking and ensure safe swallowing. Feeding a baby in a lying-down position can increase the risk of food going down the wrong way or getting stuck in the throat, which can lead to choking. Additionally, babies who are lying down may not be able to swallow properly, increasing the likelihood of food or liquid entering the airway. Instead, always feed your 9-month-old baby solid foods while they are sitting upright or in a supported sitting position. Use a high chair or feeding chair with a secure harness to help keep your baby in a safe and comfortable position during mealtime. It's also important to supervise your baby closely while they are eating to monitor their chewing and swallowing abilities and intervene if necessary. Offer small, soft pieces of food that are easy for your baby to chew and swallow, and avoid foods that pose a choking hazard, such as whole grapes, nuts, popcorn, and chunks of raw vegetables. By following these guidelines and feeding your baby solid foods in an upright position, you can help ensure a safe and enjoyable eating experience for your 9-month-old.
