Here is a balanced diet chart for your 9-month-old daughter, which includes a variety of foods to support her growth and development:

Morning (Upon Waking) Breast Milk or Formula Milk: Continue with breast milk or formula milk as the primary source of nutrition. Breakfast (Around 8:00 AM) Mashed Banana or Avocado: 1 small banana or half an avocado, mashed. Oats Porridge: Cooked oats with water or breast milk/formula milk. You can add a pinch of cardamom for flavor. Scrambled Egg (Optional): Soft scrambled egg or egg yolk. Ensure it's well-cooked. Mid-Morning Snack (Around 11:00 AM) Fruit Puree: Offer soft fruit purees such as apple, pear, or papaya. Fresh fruit is a good option. Whole Wheat Toast or Roti: Small pieces of whole wheat bread or roti with ghee or butter. Lunch (Around 1:00 PM) Rice and Dal: Well-cooked rice mixed with moong dal or any other mild dal. You can add a little ghee or butter for taste. Vegetable Puree: Mashed or pureed vegetables like carrots, pumpkin, sweet potato, or spinach. Cottage Cheese (Paneer): Soft, small cubes of paneer, or mashed paneer. Afternoon Snack (Around 3:30 PM) Fruit or Veggie Finger Foods: Small pieces of fruits like watermelon, mango, or cucumber, or soft-cooked vegetables like carrots or beans. Rice Pudding or Suji Kheer: A small serving of suji (semolina) kheer or rice pudding made with breast milk or formula. Evening (Around 5:30 PM) Breast Milk or Formula Milk: A small feed of breast milk or formula. Crackers or Biscuits: Small pieces of whole-grain crackers or biscuits (check for suitability for babies). Dinner (Around 7:00 PM) Khichdi: Soft khichdi made with rice and moong dal or other lentils, with mild spices. Vegetable Soup: A light vegetable soup made from carrots, tomatoes, pumpkin, or bottle gourd. Cottage Cheese or Yogurt: Small pieces of cheese or plain yogurt, which can be given as a snack or mixed with fruit puree. Important Points: Water: Offer small sips of water throughout the day, but avoid giving too much water before meals. No Salt or Sugar: Avoid adding salt and sugar to your baby's food. Her taste buds are still developing, and it’s better to keep it natural. Variety: Aim to offer a variety of textures and flavors to help her develop her eating skills and preferences.

Make sure to continue with breast milk or formula as it remains an essential source of nutrition for her at this age. If your baby shows any signs of allergies or intolerance to specific foods, please consult your pediatrician.
