When to feed

Solid foods take longer to digest and provide energy for a longer period than liquid formula (or breast milk). Therefore, the time between meals should increase. Often, children themselves refuse the next feeding and eat what is offered with appetite within an hour. Therefore, if the first milk feeding was at 6 a.m., the next one will be at 9 a.m., then lunch should be moved from 12 to 1 p.m., approximately plan the afternoon snack for 5 p.m., and leave the evening feeding, the last one, for 9 p.m.

How much should a baby eat

When feeding a nine-month-old baby, it is recommended to follow a five-meal plan. Drinking breast milk or formula by 9 months. it is necessary to reduce it to two times, but it is also allowed to supplement with milk or formula after main meals, when the child is not full.

Stick to the diet, every day the baby should eat at approximately the same time, this will have a beneficial effect on his digestion, and it will also be easier for the mother to get used to when the menu for a 9-month-old child is scheduled by the hour.

Make yourself a meal plan for the week and try to stick to it; you can gradually replace some dishes with others. With this plan, it will be convenient for you to control your baby’s diet so that his nutrition is balanced.

Meals should be arranged 4 hours apart. But if the baby requires more food after the main meal, then you can make him a snack of juice and cookies. The optimal portion of the main meal at this age is about half the volume of a tea cup.

Remember that nutrition is tailored individually, specifically for a specific person. If your friend’s child eats in one mode, and yours in another, this does not mean that one of you is feeding the child incorrectly.

Each person’s body is special, what some children like, others don’t like. You can also adjust the timing of meals, but do not overdo it; after all, the baby must develop a daily routine and diet, otherwise it will have a bad effect on his well-being. Don’t force him to eat - if he doesn’t eat now, he will eat in a couple of hours.

Complementary feeding norms with soups for an eight-month-old baby

Is it necessary to walk with your child every day - why is it necessary?

Any new products are introduced into the baby’s diet gradually. Dr. Komarovsky does not recommend introducing a child to unfamiliar dishes during illness, a few days before preventive vaccinations and three days after them. If the baby refuses to eat or does it with great reluctance, it is not recommended to insist. It's better to repeat the experiment later.


If you serve your child soup on a bright plate, he will eat with great pleasure

Serving Size

If you prepare soups from products that are already familiar to your child, you can start with full portions - 100-150 ml. If the first dish contains a new ingredient, for example pumpkin, it’s not worth the risk. First, it makes sense to test on 1-2 spoons how the baby and his body will respond to the innovation

Important! If the child has already learned to chew, the food can be finely chopped, and if not, cook pureed soups.

Frequency of complementary feeding with soup

It is best to feed eight-month-old babies soup once a day - during lunch. Some parents give their baby the first meal in the evening. Both options have a right to exist; the frequency of complementary feeding with soups should be calculated individually.


Making delicious and healthy soup is easy.

Most experts have not yet come to a consensus as to exactly what age to start feeding babies liquid meals. This is not always the average 8 months. Some pediatricians are confident that the soup will not harm the baby even at six months, others strongly recommend waiting until the child reaches 11 months or even a year. The only thing that all the pros agree on is that breastfed babies need complementary feeding with soups later than those babies who eat artificial formula.

PASTA BAKED IN THE OVEN WITH BROCCOLI

Age: from 1 year

Ingredients:

  • pasta (not spaghetti) 250 g
  • broccoli 150-200 g
  • milk 1 liter
  • flour 6 tbsp. l with a slide
  • butter 25 g

  1. Bring the water to a boil, add a little salt and boil the broccoli for 2 minutes.
  2. In the water in which you cooked the broccoli, boil the pasta for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Transfer the pasta and broccoli to a baking dish, add the grated cheese and stir to combine.
  4. Prepare bechamel sauce: pour half a liter of milk into a pan, preferably one with a Teflon coating, put butter in it, add a little salt and heat over low heat, the butter should melt, but the milk should not boil.
  5. Mix the remaining half liter with flour.
  6. When the butter in the pan has melted, gradually add milk and flour to the pan and stir constantly, it will soon begin to thicken, if it does not thicken, you need to increase the heat. The finished bechamel turns out like liquid sour cream.
  7. Pour bechamel sauce over the pasta, sprinkle with grated cheese and place in an oven preheated to 200°C for 15-20 minutes.

Fish dishes

Hake with new potatoes

Fish supplies the child's body with chromium, which regulates metabolic processes, as well as vanadium, which promotes the mineralization of tooth enamel.

Required Ingredients Preparation
  1. Fresh hake – 1 small piece
  2. New potatoes – 1 piece
  3. Lemon - half a slice
  4. Butter - a piece
  5. Dill greens

During this time, you should boil the potatoes (preferably steamed).

It is important to remove the skin from cooked hake and remove all the bones.

Potatoes and fish are mashed with the addition of butter on the tip of a knife, as well as water or milk to make it even more tender.

Boiled fish meatballs

Fish has an ideal amino acid composition. It should be included in the baby’s menu starting from 8 months of age. It is perfectly absorbed by the child's body, but there is a minus: fish can cause food allergies.

Therefore, nutritionists recommend that parents give children under one year of age, once a week, instead of meat, “non-allergenic” fish: hake, cod.

To prepare this dish, we recommend using cod, as it contains a large amount of protein, iodine, vitamin B12, the amino acid tyrosine and less than 1% fat.

Iodine “feeds” the thyroid gland, vitamin B12 fights the negative effects of stress (don’t forget that sometimes a child has to be shown to doctors, which can really scare him), thyrotine stimulates brain function.

Required Ingredients Preparation
  1. Fish fillet (cod) – 150-200 g
  2. Onion – 1 pc.
  3. Chicken egg – 1 pc or quail egg – 2-3 pcs
  4. Flour – 1 tbsp
  5. Salt - a pinch
It is necessary to mince or grind the fish fillet and onion in a blender, then add the egg, flour, and salt.

You need to roll the minced meat into balls, put them in boiling water and cook for 10 minutes.

Boiled rice mixed with boiled grated carrots is ideal as a side dish for ready-made meatballs.

Let's start doing magic in the kitchen

To whet the appetite of children, as well as supplement the main dishes with vitamins and many useful substances, it is necessary to include soups, vegetable and fruit purees, meat, fish and vegetable dishes in the children's menu every day.

It wouldn’t hurt to make it a rule to gather around the table with the whole family (at least once a day).

This is a great opportunity to network and build trust. And it doesn’t matter at all that the baby is not yet able to eat at a common table and yet speak, but eats in his highchair and only “chirps.”

It is from such an early age that it is necessary to instill a culture of nutrition and behavior at the table in the younger generation.

At the same time, problems with stool, namely constipation and diarrhea, do occur and cause many problems for both parents and the children themselves.

What should not be included in a baby's menu at 9 months?

We have figured out what to feed a baby at 9 months, now we will look at foods that you should avoid. When a baby is less than 1 year old, you should not give him cow's milk, since it contains a large amount of calcium, which the kidneys, liver, stomach and intestines may not be able to cope with.

Also limit the amount of spices and do not add salt to your dishes. Refrain from sugar, choose children's juices, having carefully studied the composition; packaged juice “for adults” is not allowed for a baby at this age. The same applies to foods to which the baby has an allergic reaction; they should be excluded from the diet.

Child nutrition: new foods in the diet

Mother's milk during the period of 9 - 10 months is still an integral part of the daily menu, since it contains the amount of nutrients necessary for the baby's body. It is understood that the main complementary foods have already been introduced earlier; by 9 months the baby already knows cereals, juices, and meat products. During this period, it is important to expand the diet with new dishes, combinations, and also change the consistency of dishes, switch to food chopped into small or large cubes.

At 9 months The baby’s diet should contain the required amount of CBJU, as well as food rich in vitamins and microelements.

List of products recommended for consumption by a baby at the age of nine months:

  • baby purees from vegetables and fruits;
  • children's juices and compotes from dried fruits without added sugar;
  • lean meat products (chicken, rabbit, turkey);
  • boneless fish fillet;
  • porridge;
  • egg yolk;
  • children's cottage cheese;
  • low-fat kefir;
  • specialized children's snacks.

WHO (World Health Organization) recommends that parents include products from the above list in the menu by the age of 9 months. But if they have not been introduced, then be sure to start introducing the innovations to your baby. It is recommended to introduce one product once a week to control how the baby’s body perceives this or that new product.

It is also recommended to give a new dish to the baby at the beginning of the day, perhaps for lunch, so that until the evening the parent can observe the child’s well-being and draw a conclusion regarding the new element of complementary feeding. If you give your baby a new dish in the evening, but it doesn’t suit him, then the baby will have an uncomfortable sleep, and even more so the mother. During the day, food is digested more easily.

If you are not allergic to a new dish, then gradually include it in your diet, increasing the portion. If a child is allergic to an innovation, then it is worth consulting with a pediatrician, limiting the consumption of this product and finding an alternative.

BAKED APPLE WITH FILLING

  • 2 apples (for babies under 9 months it is better to choose yellow ones)
  • 4 prunes, pre-soaked for a couple of hours

  2. Place prunes inside the apples, add 3 teaspoons of water, cover with caps.
  3. Bake at 150 °C for approximately 30-40 minutes
  4. You can pinch off small pieces of fruit for your baby or puree them.

Daily diet

In no case is the nutrition of a 9-month-old child built intuitively. It is necessary to follow a meal schedule. It is recommended to organize the nutrition of a 9-month-old baby in 5 meals, 2 of which will consist of liquid food, and 3 of solid food; liquid meals should be the first and last of the day, because solid food is digested and absorbed more slowly, which allows the body to save energy.

Do not force feed your baby; if he refuses food, then wait a couple of hours and feed him later.

Breastfed

When a child is breastfed, a special bond is created between mother and baby. But mother's milk at this age does not form the basis of the diet, since it does not contain enough of the elements that the child needs.

It is advisable that breast milk at the age of 9 months should be the baby’s first breakfast immediately after waking up, and the second time breast milk can be fed before bedtime, so as not to overload the baby’s body with solid food before bedtime.

Let's look at a child's nutrition at 9 months, diet, regimen and menu:

  • after waking up (6:00): breast milk;
  • breakfast (10:00): rice porridge with milk, pear puree, tea;
  • lunch (14:00): broth from boiled chicken breast with vegetables, a slice of bread;
  • dinner (18:00): fish balls, cauliflower puree, children's juice without sugar;
  • second dinner (20:00, before bedtime): breast milk.

If these meals are not enough for the child, then add snacks consisting of compote, children's cookies or crackers; you can also increase the weight of the serving from the main meal.

Artificially fed

When bottle-fed, it is recommended to feed in the same mode as when breast-fed. The baby should eat formula milk in the morning after waking up and in the evening before bed, and the rest of the meals should consist of solid foods.

Approximate daily diet:

  • after waking up (6:00): infant formula;
  • breakfast (10:00): cottage cheese, grated pear, compote without sugar;
  • lunch (14:00): turkey meat stew with potatoes and carrots, a slice of bread, tea;
  • dinner (18:00): chicken meatballs, stewed vegetables (zucchini + cauliflower), tea;
  • second dinner (20:00, before bedtime): infant formula.

Dietary recommendations

When breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, every mother should know when and at what time the baby should be fed. Meal times are selected individually.

If your baby used to eat while sitting on his parent’s lap, it’s time to move him to a high chair.

It is recommended to give him a piece of bread or a spoon in his palm, to help the child understand how to eat bread and use a spoon. At the same time, nutrition should not be forced.

It’s also time to offer drinks in a cup, and it’s better to refuse a bottle with a nipple.
