Snack ideas - 9 months please?

[Tinks15]

I apologise as this has probably been done to death but can you throw me some snack ideas for my 9 month old.
She seems to struggle with certain harder fruits, she’s no teeth as yet so i’m looking at need some different snack ideas rather than the Ella’s kitchen ones all the time.
I was told by a hv the other day I need to offer her solids rather than a bottle of milk when she’s hungry as apparently she is having too much milk. On average she’s having about 25oz a day some days a bit more & that’s with 3 main meals of solids. Hv said she should aiming to have 16-18oz a day but I’ve always read that ‘food is for fun before one’

Grate some cheese....mild cheddar for eg. and put it on her tray in front of her. Let her help herself.

Other snack ideas include grated carrot....little slices of buttered bread or bread and jam. Boiled egg cut up small.

I don't think your HV's advice is in line with NHS guidelines. This is from the NHS Start 4 Life website. www.nhs.uk/start4life/weaning/what-to-feed-your-baby/7-9-months/#anchor-tabs

Babies under 12 months don't need snacks, if you think your baby is hungry in between meals, offer extra milk feeds instead.

Should I still give my baby breast milk or first infant formula?
Yes. Breast milk or first infant formula is still important for energy and nutrients during the first year, and should be their main drink until 12 months. As time goes on and your baby eats more solids, they may naturally want less breast milk or first infant.
Formula-fed babies may need around 600ml of milk a day, but just use this as a guide. Remember your baby's tummy is tiny and fills up quickly, so offer milk feeds after solids and don’t force them to finish the bottle
