Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. I appreciate the efforts you are making to keep your child healthy. The best way to feed a baby at around 10 months of age is by following these measures:
- ensure atleast 3-5 bowls of complementary feeds along with 3-4 times formula feeds.
- the complementary feeds should have a good balance of all nutrients and vitamins which includes carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.
- you may give foods such as:
Cereals-rice, wheat, ragi, suji, oats, millets
All Pulses- soyabeans
Various fruits and vegetables in purie forms
Creams, curd, Cottage cheese, butter, age appropriate formula milk with proper dilution
Baby foods such as cerelac
There are various websites which you may refer for baby food recipes as well. Ensure variety, avoid force feeding, keep atleast 2-4 hours gap in between feeds, avoid distractions and eat together to develop good eating habits.
Sometimes babies do avoid foods for a day or two due to teething or stomach upsets. But they improve in most cases without any intervention.
Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
