what to feed a 9 month old?!

[newmum202410]

I've scoured the Internet but there's no where that says - this is what they can have or how to cut it.

so far he is eating toast, wheatbix - we tryed smashed blueberries and he eats a banana.

but what food for lunch or dinner can he start having? wanna move away from mush and try him feeding himself.

thank yo u

Did I just seriously see someone on here
saying Cheerios , omg
no wonder we are a nation of over weight sick people
why would you give anyone that crap
real food is what’s needed not UPF

Anything! well except nuts or honey.

what do you eat at lunch time? Could they have the same?
mine loved soup, crackers, egg muffins, toast, picky plates, beans on toast/muffins, croissants, pasta

I did baby led weaning (fed himself) from the start with him at 6months

That was me, do you know what's actually in Cheerios?
Theyre recommended by NHS, great for practicing pincer grasp

Anything you eat.
Theres tons of info about how to safely cut food for babies after 6 months.
No nuts, honey or popcorn if my memory serves me well!

i loved sitting down with our matching plates, and he definitely has grown to be a foodie and eat what is served because all food is yummy!

I faffed about with my first born, lovingly preparing what I thought she would eat. It turned into a right circus. With my second, he sat at the table with us and made it very plain that he would have what everyone else was eating. So, things like pasta bake, jacket potatoes with beans and cheese, sausage and chips, shepherds pie, anything really, just low salt.

Google baby led weaning, there’s loads of info on that. Primarily avoid salt until 1 yr I believe, as others have said, cut grapes in half, not sure about nuts.

obviously you gotta cut sauasages
I assuming into "long finger shapes"
does baby not bite chunks and choke?
my boy has top n bottom teeth and is very good at biting food

I know an nhs dietician who recommended first solid food as what’s it and kiwis don’t listen to stupid Nhs

wotsits
now idea who you spell them
evil orange puffed up chemical snacks
what’s wrong with porridge!!!

If you don’t want to buy the books you could have a look at sr_nutrition and rebeccawilsonfood on Instagram (Charlotte Stirling-Reed and ‘What mummy makes’ mentioned in a previous post). They both have recipes and useful suggestions 👍

Does baby have pincer grasp yet? If so you can come them into bite size pieces instead, always felt much better doing it this way when he could

Pretty much anything you eat, apart from the obvious nuts and honey. Chopped up small. I had a pair of small scissors just for chopping food when mine were that little.

I just gave mine whatever we were eating from 6 months 🤷🏻‍♀️ never pureed anything or mashed it up. Just made sure it was cut appropriately for his age x
At 9 months try him with anything you like!

Recommend the solid starts app and their instagram https://www.instagram.com/solidstarts?igsh=MWtlcmdnMHB2ZHV6aQ=
Has lots of helpful weaning content.
On the app you can search for foods and it gives suggestions on how to cut it by age..

Yep - the ingredients list is so bad that Nestle refuse to put it on their website, instead just saying ‘see pack.’

• Invert Sugar Syrup,
• Calcium Carbonate,
• Molasses,
• Salt,
• Caramelised Sugar Syrup,
• Colours: Carotene, Annatto Norbixin

At 9 months they should be starting to eat proper meals, and it’s best if you all sit down for meals together and they eat what you eat. Make family friendly dinners with low salt. They learn a lot watching you eat and they’ll get used to eating normal meals.

He shouldn’t just be eating carbs and fruit. Babies’ iron stores, for example, are very low at 6 months and need building up with food. Salmon and soft cooked vegetables, pasta bolognese, shepherds pie, shredded chicken and veg, peanut butter on toast (thinly spread without chunks) etc — where’s the protein?!

They’re horribly unhealthy. NHS gives shit advice on diet half the time.

He’s probably desperate for protein and vegetables, please start giving him more meat, eggs and fish on a regular basis, and soft cooked veg -
soft cooked sweet potato, overcooked broccoli etc.

he has meals I've made.
spag bol
chicken mash and spinach
chicken curry

I'm not asking what to feed him - I'm asking how your meant to cut/ serve food to a baby without choking ect

he gets loads fruit n veg. he is a big boy 11kg at 9ms and 10days old.

thank you

But your original post was asking what to feed him as well as the cutting?!
try him with sandwiches for lunch I use crustless bread and 1 slice folded in half and cut into 2 squares thin layer of butter and a small amount of cheese spread my boy loves it

Honestly, I just threw her food. Steak and roast sliced thinly. Steamed veges. Stew or casserole. I would give her a bone to suck and chew on. Chicken leg, T-bone, ribs. Sometimes, it wasn’t successful and, if she started coughing, I shoved my finger into the back of her mouth and scooped. Perhaps one could consider me a rough parent.

Everyone got fed and no one is dead.

Exactly, over reaction much from pp haha! You're talking a couple of cheerios on a highchair alongside the usual healthy unprocessed stuff like fruit, yoghurt, cheese, eggs, veggies, proteins.
A few processed things can certainly be included as part of a balanced diet. Can get very obsessive otherwise.

I get that. But the OP has listed a load of processed food and fruit and barely feeds her child any protein or vegetables seemingly. So she doesn’t need suggestions for yet more processed options.
