Nutrition of the child in 9 months

Every day the baby develops and grows, pleasing the surrounding people with new achievements. However, as this exciting process happens, the crumbs menu also changes. Nutrition of the child at 9 months includes not only breast milk (adapted milk formula) and porridge, but also meat, vegetables and fruits. At this age, the child's acquaintance with new products continues: porridge, which he has not yet tried, fruits and vegetables. And also completely new dishes are introduced: steam or boiled fish, cottage cheese and yogurt (fermented milk mixture).

Baby diet in 9 months

As in the previous month, the crumb fully fed 5 times a day with time intervals of 4 hours. If you notice that the baby does not eat, then offer him a small snack, for example, juice. It is not necessary to go on the occasion of the child and at the slightest demand to try to cajole him with a cracker or a biscuit. Over time, this will lead to the fact that the baby will be completely disrupted diet, and he will refuse full-fledged meals.

Nutrition in 9 months is recommended at this time:

1. 6.00 - first breakfast. At this time, the child eats an adapted milk formula or breast milk with pleasure.
2. 10.00 - the second breakfast, at which the crumb for "both cheeks" will eat porridge with a piece of butter, and at last, enjoys juicy and sweet fruits (juice or puree from them).
3. 14.00 - lunch. It's time for a delicious and hearty dish of minced meat and vegetables. In recent years, it has become increasingly important to feed crumbs not with a meat dish with vegetable garnish, but with rubbed soups. To cook them is very simple: you need to boil a piece of meat with vegetables until ready, and then with a small amount of broth to kill in a blender to the state of mashed potatoes. In addition to the main ingredients in the soup is necessarily added vegetable oil, a little salt, and if desired - boiled egg yolk.
4. 18.00 - dinner. Nutrition for a child of 9 months, both on breastfeeding and on artificial feeding, must contain in the diet sour-milk products. It was at this time that the baby eats cottage cheese and yogurt. However, as practice shows, not all the youngsters are ready to eat sourish products. In order to correct the situation, you can go to the trick and add to the cottage cheese, for example a banana or a sweet baked apple, rub in a blender and please the crumb with a curd mass.
5. 22.00 - late dinner, where the child will be happy to eat an adapted milk formula or breast milk.

How to make an individual menu for a child?

As can be seen from the above, the baby's diet in 9 months is very similar to the dietary table of an adult, so it is not necessary to invent anything supernatural for the menu. For convenience, you can follow the table, which was developed by pediatricians, changing in it some ingredients: for example, oat porridge for buckwheat, and juice for compote or kissel, etc.

That the picture was more complete, it is possible for young parents to advise when drawing up the menu to pay attention to what food the child had for 9 months in the far USSR. Maybe in this table you will find for your crumbs useful and undeservedly forgotten dishes of time, such as apple mousse or kissel.

To summarize, I would like to note that the feeding of the youngster at 9 months, both on artificial and breastfeeding, must be very diverse and contain all the components of healthy nutrition: cereals, milk products, vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, baby biscuits and egg yolk. Do not forget that all the main dishes (vegetables, meat) should be served in a garbled form, the ingredients of which must be welded or cooked for a couple. Fruits are better to offer in the form of purees or drinks.
