9 Month Baby Food Chart, Indian Meal Plan for 9 Months baby

Indian Meal Plan for 9 Months baby

At 9 months, you baby is most probably ready for a lot more variety than previous
months. Now is a good time to give complex cereals and foods.
This 9 month Indian baby food chart will help you plan meals for your baby. By 9
months, most kids are comfortable eating solids and are having 3 solid meals. It
cannot be stressed enough that breastmilk or formula provides fat and nutrients for
baby’s growing body for the first year and should be continued along with the
solids.
By 9 months, you can introduce non-vegetarian food like egg yolks, chicken and some
fish to baby. You may choose to introduce these earlier too with your
pediatrician’s approval.Also follow the 3 day wait rule, when introducing something
completely new.
Soft chapatis and paranthas can be broken into small pieces and given as finger
food too. Eventhough most babies are able to manage lumpy food, it should still be
well-cooked and soft to chew. Hard food items like rawcarrots etc. can pose choking
hazard.

By now you might be planning to start finger foods for your baby. If you feel your
baby is still not ready for finger foods, wait for few more weeks. The period
between 9 months to 12 months is usually a good window to start finger foods and
lay the foundation of healthy and happy eating for life. If you are confused what
you could give as finger food, check out our 75+ finger food ideas for babies and
kids
Tips:
It cannot be stressed enough that your goal should be to allow baby to experience
as many textures and tastes as possible. By 9 months most babies are ready for more
adventurous eating than just purees.
If you are still pureeing your baby’s food, please stop. Introduce lumpy food and
soft cooked finger foods like carrots.
Please don’t be scared to give regular food to baby. I gave this food to my
daughter even before she cut her first tooth which was at the age of 11 months.
