Hi hetal,

My baby is 10 months & 1 week old. He is standing by holding chairs etc.but i have to make him hold the objects. He doesn't pull by himself to stand.
He is not yet crawling too. Is it ok?

Abt food:

Milk: Around 17-18 oz. Not taking more than that & also takes little by little like takes 2 oz after 1hr from solids & 1oz after another 1 hr.

Solids:

Morning : Cereals 4 to 5 tbsp

Afternoon : Rice with dal & veggies(Carrot,Potato) . What other veggies can i add in & also can i give dal to my baby daily. What other food can i give for lunch?

Evening : Fruits (gerber fruits or fully riped banana) Can give him raw friuts & what fruits can i give him?

Night : 1 Idly with chutney. What other foods can i him as dinner?

Haven't started with nonveg...

My baby takes milk by sippy cup. Will he get confused if i give juice by sippy cup or how can i introduce him juice?

Could u please suggest some snacks to give my baby in bet his solids? Could u please tell the timings bet every solid & milk & snacks? i.e time schedule with food for 10 month baby?


Waiting for ur reply..

Thanks very much for ur reply.. Will teach to make my baby stand by himself. He is not interestedto drink from cup & doesn't know how to drink from it. Will try the straw cup for juices. Had chked all the links. All were very useful..Thanks a lot.

Have another query?

What should be the amt of rice that i should give my baby for lunch? Will be very helpful for me.

thanks,

Hetal replied. at 10months his developments looks good to me. teach your baby to stand by slowly leaving his legs straight,,see if that works,,and i would say no worries,,let him take his time,,,let he himself be ready to pull his own wght by his own hands and legs,,this will ensure positive development,,get him some toys that are standing and playing,,so that he learns the skills,,,hold his hands and give a lil pull,see if he is ready to stand,,some babies learnt it that way,,and give him time to take an initiative when it comes to cruisng abilities...let him learn how to walk...its ok if your baby seems to have missed the stage of crawling,,its not imp milestone eitherr,,,

if you want, you can start your baby with non-veg..offer strained, cured meats..
if baby is able to drink succsflly in sippy cup, introduce your baby juices in strawcup....and start offering your baby glass during meal times,,so that by the time he masters strawcup, he is ready to drink milk in glass, and juices later on in straws..this is just the right age for it.

also visit nandyala dot org for some indian food ideas..
try offering your baby meals at every interval of 3 hours..his daily routine should be something like milk,breakfast,brunch or milk,lunch,milk,snacks,,or a serving of yogurt,,dinner,milk...

also, note that your baby is ready for almost all fruits, vegetables and can be started with proteins...
so offer him varieties,,start offering your baby roti soaked in dal, multigrain cereals,,see his reponses to new foods,,also start him with finger foods,,just the right age,,
start offering your baby something out of your plate so that by 1 year, he is ready for all foods you are eating ! offer him mild spices,,..

hope this all helps you !
take care, good luck.
