Children are our resources , for the welfare of which we can do many things. After the arrival of a new child in the family, the parents take care of his health and care more than anything else. And that's where the baby food comes in. Most attention should be paid to the food of the new baby , because his health will largely depend on this food. Considering the well-being of the new baby, we regularly organize children's meals. In that continuity, today there is the issue of food for 8 to 10 month old children. If your baby is between 8-10 months old, now he is eating breast milk as well as other foods. She is now accustomed to thin khichuri , semolina. But as he gets older, he needs more food. During this time the physical and mental growth of children is very fast. So without proper nutrition, their growth can be hampered. So they have to be more careful about their food than before. Surely your child is eating more slowly than before. Eating khichuri , vegetable puree , semolina regularly. In addition to all this, now when he sees you eating, he may extend his small hands. You must also like to give 2/1 grains of rice in his mouth. But all this says that now he needs more food. Now your child has learned to sit. Maybe even try to crawl on small legs. Also keep in mind that he can use his fingers to pick up small things and there is a tendency to take everything in his mouth. He may have learned to take things from one hand to the other. If you see your child doing all of these things, you should know that he is growing up. And so now he has to increase the amount of food. Feeding 8-10 month olds: Eating other foods does not mean that you will stop breastfeeding. That should never happen. Remember that breast milk is very beneficial until the baby is 2 years old. But if you have any medical restrictions, it is different. In that case, of course, you can give formula milk to the baby on the advice of a doctor. In addition, you can now give her regular food as well as pasteurized cheese or yogurt. It would be better to mix it in his food than to give it directly. You can now add a little oil to the khichuri , or you can add cheese instead of oil. And there is salt to taste. At this time, if you want, you can take a little bit of a clove of garlic and add it to the khichuri. If you do not want to give. And you can give the two directly. But it is better if it is not cold. But do not go to give cow's milk. Cow's milk will not be good for your child at this age. And now it is very hot so the baby has to drink a lot of water. There are many types of cereals available in the market. Many parents feed their children , although home-cooked meals are much more nutritious. If the child likes to eat cereal or cerelac, you can give him soft pudding of semolina. You can also add sugar and fruit pieces to make it fun. However, no matter what day you take care to keep the iron level in the food. Iron is a very important element for them at this time. You can mix barley , oats , wheat etc. with semolina . Since your child has learned to catch now, he will want to eat his own food. If he is given some food, he will like to eat it himself and his interest in food will also increase. It's called "Finger Food." As a finger food, you can cut ripe bananas into small pieces , or you can cut home-made bread into small pieces or boil spiral pasta in front. It will be played and eaten again. However, if you have something in your hand, keep an eye on it , because if the child eats by himself, there is a possibility of getting stuck in the throat. Just eating khichuri or semolina may not make your baby feel good for a long time. In that case they can be given boiled chopped vegetables or fruits like potatoes , sweet potatoes , carrots , bananas , apples , grapes etc. Another nutritious food is egg yolk. Try to feed the baby one egg yolk a day. However, if you give too much, the stomach may get worse. Also try to give chicken liver. You can give the baby a small amount of big fish and chicken. At the same time, you can cook different pulses thickly and eat a little. From these the baby will get enough protein. How much to give in a day: The child should be fed according to his food needs. In so many days, his likes and dislikes have been made about food. So you have to try to give delicious food. The first thing to keep in mind is what he likes to eat more. If he likes to eat more khichuri, he should give 1/3 to 1/2 cup of khichuri daily. Sujir pudding can be given 1/3 to 1/2 cup. You can make chopped vegetables and fruits 1/3 to 1/2 cup. You can also give fruit juice. You can give a little less yogurt or cheese or oil a day. The amount can be 1/4 to 1/3 cup. But if your child can't stand it, do less. You can also give 1/4 to 1/2 part of iron rich food and 1/8 to 1/4 cup of protein rich food such as fish meat. Now that he can crawl , he will want to play back a lot more. Your child is slowly learning to control himself. So the food has to be calculated in the same way. And keep in mind that your child may not be able to eat at all. Not all baby food needs are the same. Some will eat less and some more. So don't insist. And when you eat new food, take at least 2 days before giving it back to see if there is any problem of allergy. Be sure to consult a doctor if you have any food problems. And refrain from feeding old stale food. You will see that your child is growing up healthy only when he gets proper food and affection from you.
