Food chart/Meal plan-9 month old baby

Are you at your wit’s end as for how to make your baby eat???

This is the period when both the mom and baby become bored with meal times due to the never-ending fuss for eating, teething problems and so on.

So here is how to make your baby develop an interest in food and enjoy mealtimes.

Variety
Feed him a variety of foods, try not to repeat a fruit or vegetable in a week. That is the greatest mistake we do, we think baby likes a food and feed his favorite food repeatedly, the baby gets bored of it and starts rejecting food altogether.

Feed in Frequent intervals
Feed little amounts at frequent intervals. The aim is not to make the baby eat a whole large meal, it is to introduce a variety of foods per day and make him eat a little every meal. By feeding them at frequent intervals with different foods proper nutrition can be ensured.

Stop Purees
It is time to stop pureeing everything. By now the baby would have developed teeth and give some work to the new teeth !!! Puree only foods that are hard for the baby to chew, other foods can be made into a slight mash and fed through pre-loaded spoons.

Make mealtimes fun
Make mealtime a happy time by playing innovative games to make them eat, like a lion and hare story, aeroplane story and so on….
Some babies have ” High chair anxiety ” when they see you bringing the high chair for meal time, they start fidgeting, crying and end up in refusing the food. If this is the case, then have your meals in the garden, patio, living room, kids playroom or on the move in the pram around the neighborhood….

Frozen Treats
Make Popsicle of the fruit purees and allow your baby to suck upon, they enjoy the activity and it also helps to soothe sore gums.Frozen breastmilk popsicle makes a great teething reliever.

Having sorted out the feeding difficulties, let us move on to the diet chart. The diet chart for 9 months is not very different from the 8 months baby food chart only with minor changes.
