Parenting Tips for Your 9 Month Old Baby
Sometimes a baby will not like a certain food one day and eat it a few days later.
Every once in a while, try giving your child a food she has not liked. You may find that this is the day she likes it.
Make foods into finger foods. Nine-month-olds like to feed themselves. They like to feel grown up. Cut your baby's food into very small pieces.
Avoid foods that could cause your baby to choke. Avoid small hard foods: popcorn, nuts, seeds, or raw vegetables (unless mashed). Avoid round and slippery foods, such as whole grapes or hot dog circles.
Mealtime should be a pleasant time for you as well as for your baby. She will eat more on some days than on others. Don't force your baby to eat. She will eat if she is hungry.
