A. For a 7-month-old baby, it's important to provide a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods to ensure they get essential nutrients. Here's a general guideline for introducing foods and establishing mealtimes: Daily Meal Plan for a 7-Month-Old **1. Breast Milk or Formula Frequency: Continue to offer breast milk or formula 3-4 times a day, in addition to solid foods. This remains the primary source of nutrition at this age. **2. Solid Foods Frequency: Introduce solid foods 2-3 times a day. Sample Meal Timing Breakfast (8:00 AM) Options: Pureed fruits (e.g., apple, pear), mashed banana, or iron-fortified baby cereal mixed with breast milk or formula. Mid-Morning Snack (11:00 AM) Options: Small amounts of plain yogurt, or a small serving of mashed or pureed vegetables (e.g., sweet potato, carrot). Lunch (1:00 PM) Options: Pureed or finely mashed vegetables combined with a small amount of protein, such as pureed chicken or lentils. You can also offer a small amount of rice or soft-cooked pasta. Afternoon Snack (4:00 PM) Options: Soft fruit pieces (e.g., peach, avocado) or a small amount of baby rice cakes. Dinner (7:00 PM) Options: A small serving of mashed or pureed vegetables with a grain (e.g., rice or oatmeal) and protein (e.g., pureed fish or tofu). Food Texture and Variety Pureed or Mashed Foods: Start with pureed or mashed foods and gradually introduce soft, finely chopped foods as your baby gets used to eating solids. Single Ingredients: Introduce one new food at a time to monitor for any allergies or reactions. Variety: Offer a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins to ensure balanced nutrition and to expose your baby to different flavors and textures. Additional Tips Hydration: Offer small amounts of water in a sippy cup with meals. Watch for Allergies: Introduce new foods one at a time and observe for any signs of allergies. Follow Baby’s Cues: Let your baby’s appetite and interest in food guide how much and how often they eat. Always consult your pediatrician before making significant changes to your baby’s diet or if you have concerns about allergies, growth, or development.
