Recipes for 10 to 12 months old babies

Babies in this age-group can sample a lot more variety and can even partake of regular family meals. Babies now have a few teeth and their digestive systems have matured to a major extent. Though it is still important to follow discretion with giving them anything , their bodies and taste-buds are prepared for a lot more than earlier.
In this section we have baby food recipes for 9-12 months

 

Babies now prefer chunkier food, so can give the food you gave earlier, but mash them only coarsely. Food should still be well-cooked. You can start introducing spices in small quantities if not already introduced. You can now introduce eggs and meat safely, if not already introduced. Always check with your doctor before doing so and be on the lookout for any allergies, rashes etc. whenever a new food is introduced.

Fat like oil and ghee can also be introduced safely now if not introduced earlier and definitely little more than earlier. Little bit of whole cow’s milk can also be added to cooking, though it should not be given as a main drink.

Do not take below measurements/quantities as one feed. This is only for proportion and you should change depending upon how much or less you want to make.

Baby food recipes for 10-12 months old

Vegetable Khichdi for 10 months old

An absolutely versatile way of feeding veggies and dal to your baby. This is a complete meal in itself and you can feed even older children without mashing it. If you do not want to add spices you can add ghee at the end after khichdi is prepared.

Here we give three variations of the simple khichdi. The first one is the vegetable khichdi with moong dal and rice. Since baby is a little older, now you can introduce some spices like cumin, mustard, bay leaf and cinnamon. Spinach is a great addition to any recipe and palak or spinach khichdi is a welcome change from regular khichdi.
