The First Year - Babies 8 to 9 Months

Use a potato masher for foods like bananas, cooked apples, winter squash, white or sweet potatoes, and carrots. Make sure the food has no big lumps, pieces of skin, seeds or strings.

* Don't add salt, sugar or seasoning to baby foods. Foods that taste bland to an adult are new taste experiences to babies.

* Don't give honey to a baby less than 1 year old. Honey may carry botulism spores that can make babies sick.

* Raw eggs and unpasteurized, or raw milk are not safe for babies; they can cause infections.

* Don't give baby chunky foods such as corn, nuts, popcorn, grapes and round pieces of hot dog. These foods are hard for baby to eat and can cause choking.

By now baby can eat most things the rest of the family eats--just take his portion out before you add salt and other seasonings.

Don't give baby round and slippery foods, such as grapes or hotdog circles, or small, hard foods such as nuts, seeds or popcorn, that could choke him.help.

Answer 2

Remember babies tummy is sensitive and you have to change the diapers. Pablum only if the baby is hungry for more than mommys milk/formula. do not over feed baby. It will cause health problems when they get older

Answer 3

is important to note that not all babies will be eating the same amounts nor will they be eating the same foods due to the differing ages that babies start solid foods! For example, there are many infants who may eat 4-6 ounces of food per day at 6 or 7months old while others who are just starting solids at this age may be within the 1-2 ounce range.

Breast Milk and/or Formula are THE MOST IMPORTANT source of nutrition for your infant up to 12 months old!! Solids only begin to play a larger nutritional roll between 9-10 months old. Do NOT replace a nursing or bottle-feeding with a solid food meal and do not feed the solids first:

until you thoroughly discuss a new feeding schedule with your pediatrician and

until your pediatrician indicates that replacing "milk" with solid food feeding(s) is right for your baby!!

This baby food menu sample is for example/idea purposes only! It outlines examples and shows ideas for baby solid foods only.

This sample menu does not account for, nor does it list, a baby's total daily Breast Milk or Formula intake. See a "Suggested "Milk" chart for babies below.

Many breastfeeding moms supplement with formula as their milk supply may be low for a variety of reasons. We give kudos to those moms who continue to hang in there and offer their babies breast milk while supplementing! Hooray for you! You will find our menu samples include the use of both breast milk and formula, separately and together as a total "meal" solution!

Offer your baby 1 or 2 food cubes of each item and gradually increase the amount as baby gets older and is accustomed to eating solid foods. Always consult your pediatrician if you feel your baby is not receiving proper amounts of either milk or solid foods.
