From 9 months of age, the baby should start trying to eat minced food, such as ground beef, shredded chicken and well-cooked rice, without the need to knead all the food well or pass it through the sieve.
At this stage, you should reduce the use of the bottle and encourage feeding with a spoon and cup, so that the baby strengthens the chewing muscles and is not lazy to eat. However, this is also the period when the teeth begin to grow and it is normal for the baby to refuse feeding at certain times of the day. See more about the development of the baby at 9 months.
See below for meal recipes for this stage of life.
Peach and banana baby food
Peel the peach, remove the stone and beat the pulp in a blender. Put the peach juice in the baby's dish, mash half a banana inside and add 1 dessert spoon of baby powdered milk or rolled oats, mixing everything before giving it to the baby in the morning or afternoon snacks.
Avocado and papaya baby food
Knead in the baby's dish 2 tablespoons of avocado and 1 slice of papaya, and offer as a dessert for lunch or dinner. It is important to remember that sugar should not be added to the baby food, as the baby must get used to the natural flavor of the food.
