Detailed explanation-1: -At this age, your baby needs between 750 and 900 calories each day, of which about 400 to 500 should come from breast milk or formula (if you are not breastfeeding)-roughly 24 ounces (720 mL) a day. Breast milk and formula contain vitamins, minerals, and other important components for brain growth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ten-month-old babies will do well with a menu that includes breast milk or formula plus solids. Offer small pieces of chicken, soft fruit, or vegetables; whole grain cereals, pasta, or bread; scrambled egg or yogurt.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your child can begin eating solid foods at about 6 months old. By the time he or she is 7 or 8 months old, your child can eat a variety of foods from different food groups. These foods include infant cereals, meat or other proteins, fruits, vegetables, grains, yogurts and cheeses, and more.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to the AAP, 6 to 8 months of age is often referred to as a critical window for initiating the introduction of solid foods to infants. In addition, by 7 to 8 months of age, infants should be consuming solid foods from all food groups (vegetables, fruits, grains, protein foods, and dairy).
