9-month baby meal plan
How much at 9 months?
2 meals + 1 snack. Mid-morning (meal), noon (meal), evening (snack). Breast milk or formula still continues.
Baby should sit confidently and independently. Encourage self-feeding; expect mess. Offer water after meals. Always supervise while eating.
The wait
One new food every 3-4 days. Offer that food for the stretch so you can watch for allergy or intolerance.
Skip this month
No salt, sugar, honey, or spicy food.
Previous: 8 months. Next: 10 months.
TinyBloomy is not a doctor. If your baby may be ill, or you are worried, call your clinician or local emergency services.
