Healthy Lunch Ideas for Your 9 Month Old

As your baby develops and grows, it’s important to provide them with a variety of healthy and nutritious foods to support their growth and development. Lunchtime is a great opportunity to introduce new flavors and textures that your baby will love.

Here are some healthy lunch ideas for your 9 month old:

1. Sweet Potato Mash:
Peel and chop a sweet potato into small pieces and boil until soft. Mash the sweet potato with a fork and mix in some breast milk or formula for a creamy texture.

2. Avocado and Apple Puree:
Blend half an avocado with half a peeled and diced apple. Add a little water or breast milk to adjust the consistency, and serve.

Steam some broccoli and cauliflower florets until soft. Puree the vegetables with some breast milk or formula for a creamy soup that’s packed with nutrients.

4. Grilled Cheese Sandwich:
Toast a slice of whole grain bread and place a slice of cheddar cheese between the slices. Cut the sandwich into small pieces that your baby can hold and eat.
