What to eat -Solids 9mths |

At 9 months most babies will be eating 3 meals a day plus having 3 milk feeds. This of course can differ and does vary. My baby is 9 1/2 mths and he still feeds quite frequently on the breast while having 3 hearty solid meals a day.
At every meal give one each of the following:
- a starchy food ie. cereal/ grain/ potato/ pasta/ bread
- fruit or vegetable
- protein ie. dairy/ meat/ legumes/ fish/ egg
Baby can now have freshly prepared food as what you would make for the family. You can slowly introduce a range of different foods so as they grow they will enjoy a wide variety of foods.
My baby's favourite foods include fruity bix with boiled water and apple sauce - no added sugar, salt or milk, avocado sandwiches and pasta with toato based sauce. My husband feeds him egg, chicken, mince when he cooks (I am vegetarian). I think its important to encourage healthy balanced eating from early age.
