Baby 10 months feeding
9- and 10-month-old feeding schedules
Wondering how to fit all those meals, snacks, and bottles or nursing sessions into your baby's day? Your 9-or 10-month-old still needs plenty of breast milk or formula, and they're also getting more adventurous with their solid foods. If you started with purees, you can begin transitioning toward finger foods. If you're baby-led weaning, continue expanding their palate by offering new flavors and textures. Here's how to set up a feeding schedule that works for your baby and your family.
By now your 9- or 10-month-old has settled into a steady routine of sleeping, playing, and eating. But it can be confusing at times to know how to organize their feeding schedule. Your baby is old enough to eat more solids and explore new finger foods, but young enough that they still need plenty of formula or breast milk.
Between the bottles and nursing and the solid food meals, it can feel like you're constantly feeding your baby. As you're sorting out your baby's feeding schedule, it can be a big help to see what other parents are doing. Below, you'll find several sample schedules modeled on those of real BabyCenter parents and reviewed by a pediatrician on our Medical Advisory Board.
As you're creating a schedule for your baby, keep in mind that at 9 and 10 months most babies need solid foods three times a day, plus a healthy snack, and about 24 to 32 ounces of breast milk or formula in a 24-hour period.
Breastfed babies will likely nurse three or four times per day. Formula-fed babies may drink 7- to 8-ounce bottles three or four times per day. (Get specific tips on how to tell whether your baby is getting enough breast milk or formula.)
By now, your baby will likely be eating a variety of foods and taking an active role at mealtimes by self-feeding and drinking from a sippy, straw, or open cup. That means your mealtime options are expanding, since you can offer your baby more new and exciting foods to try.
You can make life simpler now and feed your baby what you're eating – just make sure it's age appropriate.
Don't give your baby foods that could be choking hazards, foods with a lot of salt or added sugar, honey, or anything that's raw or unpasteurized. And if you haven't yet, be sure to introduce high-allergy foods to your baby, too.
If you're baby-led weaning, your baby has already been feeding themself finger foods. Keep giving your baby a variety of foods and expand their palate by offering new textures and flavors.
In addition to breast milk or formula, your baby may be ready to eat as much as half a cup per day of fruits, veggies, proteins, and carbohydrates. (If you're not sure how much solid food your baby needs, check out our visual guide.)

10-Month-Old Baby: Development Milestones | Pampers
There’s nothing quite like watching your baby take on new challenges, from trying to stand and then walk, to attempting to say his first real words.
You’re no doubt feeling proud of your little one. Still, you may have questions about what’s coming in the weeks ahead, including what 10-month-old babies can eat, how long they should sleep, and which development milestones they typically achieve. We’ve got you covered on all this and more, so read on!
Baby Development Milestones
One of the paradoxes of your baby’s development at 10 months is that while he’s eager to become more mobile and independent, he may also be cautious about straying too far from you and may even cry when you’re out of sight. Read on to learn more about what your 10-month-old baby may be experiencing this month, including the development milestones he may reach around this time.
Growth and Physical Development: Steady Gains
Don’t get too attached to your favorite baby clothes! Your 10-month-old baby will likely continue to grow rapidly this month as he makes his way toward nearly tripling his birth weight by his first birthday.
All babies grow at their own pace, and there’s no single growth standard for a baby. Instead, during your baby’s regular checkups, the healthcare provider will chart your baby’s weight, length, and head circumference to make sure he’s on track for healthy development. You can read more about how baby growth charts are used here.
Movement: Up, Up, and Away!
You might have noticed that when your baby is awake, he’s moving nonstop. If he’s on his tummy he’ll arch his back to look around; if he’s on his back he’ll grab his toes. At other times, he may be rolling over or rocking on his hands and knees. All of these movements strengthen his muscles, improve his coordination, and teach him what his various body parts can do.
Each baby is different, but around this time your baby could be trying to pull himself up to stand. Seeing everyone else walking makes him eager to follow suit! Once he stands, he might worry that he won’t be able to sit down again, which is a little trickier.
If you sense he's having trouble, show him how you bend your knees to return to the floor and he might be able to copy you.
Once your baby can stand more confidently, he might take a few tentative steps while holding onto furniture. This is known as “cruising.” Soon, he’ll try taking a few cautious steps without holding onto anything. This might end in him dropping to the floor, but he’ll grow more skilled with each try.
After months and months of tummy time and all those movements designed to strengthen his muscles in preparation for walking, you might be surprised at how quickly things progress now. Once he takes those tentative first steps, it may only be a few more days before your baby is walking with confidence. What a miracle!

Cognitive Development: Hello, Can You Hear Me?
Long before your baby can say real words, he can understand some of what you’re saying. You might even be surprised at how much babies can understand! For example, if you say the name of his favorite toy, he may look toward it, showing you he knows what you’re referring to. If he’s created his own word for something, you can treat that as his word.
For example, if he calls his favorite teddy “tata,” respond by giving it to him and saying the word “teddy” to reinforce the right word. In time, he’ll correct himself. Whether it’s now or in the coming months, your baby will soon be able to say simple words like “no,” “mama,” and “dada.”
Your little one will soon start to mimic the way you use objects, too. If he has a toy phone, he might put it to his ear, just as he’s seen you do. Take advantage of his interest in imitating you by teaching him how objects are used. Let him “brush” his hair with a hairbrush or his teeth with a toothbrush. At mealtimes let him play at using a cup and spoon.
While your baby plays at using the phone, how much do you use technology as part of parenting? If you have a minute, we’d love to hear about your experiences via our short quiz.
How to Support Your Baby’s Development
As always, there’s lots you can do to help your baby grow and develop.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Place some sturdy, safe objects in a low drawer or cupboard for your baby to discover and play with. Finding new things on his own is exciting for him and will help boost his confidence.
As your baby learns to pull himself up to a stand, stairs might start to interest him. Add baby gates for safety, but consider allowing him onto the lowest step under close supervision with you standing right below him.
Teach your baby the actions that go with words like “bye-bye,” “yes,” and “no.” For example, show him how to wave bye-bye, nod yes, and shake his head no.
Experts recommend not to put your baby in a baby walker. These devices are dangerous and may actually decrease his motivation to walk. Instead, consider a stationary walker, a play center, or a push car with a bar he can hold onto.
The toys your 10-month-old baby plays with don’t have to be expensive; your baby may be fascinated by an empty box, an egg carton, or even a toilet paper tube that he can bend, tear, and scrunch.
If you do want to choose some toys for your 10-month-old baby, go for things like a large doll or puppet, a toy telephone, or a “busy box” with features that squeak, push, move, open, and roll. These will help develop his fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Feeding Your 10-Month-Old Baby
Your baby needs about 750 to 900 calories each day, with about half coming from breast milk or formula and the rest from solids. In addition to spoon feeding your baby or letting him handle using a spoon, you can also give your 10-month-old baby finger foods to encourage him to feed himself. Try small pieces of tofu or cheese, peas, diced fruit, and well-cooked pasta. Try to be patient with his slow pace and with the amount of food that ends up everywhere but in his mouth, as he’s still learning. The more you let him try, the sooner he’ll grow more capable and confident.
At some point around this time, you could introduce your baby to the sippy cup.
Get started with a trainer cup, which has a lid, two handles, and a soft straw or spout. At first your baby will treat it like a plaything, which is totally OK. Add a little water and show your baby how to drink from it, and before long he’ll start to mimic you. In time, fill it with breast milk or formula instead of water. Using the cup will help improve your baby’s hand-to-mouth coordination, and will help prepare him for weaning from breastfeeding or bottle-feeding when the time comes. Keep in mind that it may be many months before your baby drinks all of his liquids from a cup. For now, this is just a casual introduction — all babies have to start somewhere.
Here’s an example of a daily menu for your 10-month-old including both baby food and breast milk or formula. It also gives you an idea of approximately how much baby food to give your 10-month-old.
Eating Out With Your Little One
Going out for a meal with your baby may seem daunting, but these tips may help:
Call the restaurant ahead of time to make sure it is baby-friendly and has a high chair.
Take some baby wipes just in case it's necessary to clean the chair.Consider feeding your baby beforehand; you may find he sleeps right through.
If your baby will be eating with you, take his food, spoon, and bib.
Don't be embarrassed if your baby starts crying. Instead, be flexible and ready to either do a little soothing or to grab the check early.
Take some soft toys and baby books that your little one can play with without making too much noise.
How Much Sleep Does a 10-Month-Old Baby Need?
Ten-month-old babies typically sleep about 10 to 12 hours each night and have two naps during the day. Some babies start to need the morning nap less and less.
Around this time, your baby may develop what's known as separation anxiety — he becomes upset when he's away from you or can't see you. This can cause problems at night, when your baby wakes to find you're not there.
Here are some do's and don'ts to guide you if your baby wakes in the night:
Check to make sure he's comfortable and isn't sick.
Pat him gently and quietly tell him it's OK — you're nearby if he needs you.
If a diaper change is needed, do it quickly with minimal fuss, and put him right back to bed in his crib.
Don't turn on the light, rock him, feed him, walk him, or take him to your bed. These actions will just reward him for waking and will prolong this stage.
If a daylight savings time change is coming up, this can also prompt sleep disruption. Learn how to transition your baby's sleep time smoothly.

A Day in the Life of Your Baby
Every baby is different, but here’s a glimpse of what a typical day could look like with your baby.
Your Baby’s Health: Dental Care
You might have seen your baby’s first teeth poke through already — or maybe not yet, as timing varies widely for teething.
By age 3, most children have all of their primary teeth in. No matter how many teeth she has now, it’s important to care for your baby’s teeth and gums each day. Here’s how:
Twice a day, clean your baby’s teeth with a soft baby toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste designed for babies. If no teeth are in yet, gently wipe the gums with a soft washcloth or soft toothbrush. Read more about baby dental care, including what toothpaste to pick and how long to brush for.
Never let your baby fall asleep with a bottle. This causes milk to pool in her mouth, leading to tooth decay.
If your baby shows signs of discomfort from teething gently — like irritability, crying, or tender or swollen gums — try to relieve the soreness by massaging her gums with your finger or giving her a rubber teething ring to bite on.
Unfortunately, at some point your baby may suffer a tooth injury. Read more about how to treat a baby tooth problem here.
Here are two more health topics worth knowing about:
Food allergies.
Young children can have allergic reactions to things like cow’s milk (which should not be introduced before 12 months), eggs, peanuts, soy, and wheat. Symptoms of a food allergy can be mild or severe and can include things like a rash, diarrhea, breathing difficulties, or pale skin. Your baby’s healthcare provider will diagnose any allergy and may recommend a course of action. It could be that you need to ensure your baby doesn’t eat foods she’s allergic to. In some cases, children grow out of their allergy.Roseola. If your baby has a fever of between 102 and 105 degrees Fahrenheit, and then develops a rash on her trunk once the fever goes away, it could be a viral illness called roseola. Other symptoms include a runny nose, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, cough, and irritability. Contact your baby’s healthcare provider for treatment advice. Roseola is contagious during the fever phase, so it may be best to keep your child away from other children while the fever is present.

Your Life as a Parent: Tips for Sharing Parental Duties
Talking about parenting with your partner can be challenging. The key is to remember that there is no “perfect” family, nor one way to parent, and that roles and responsibilities may need to change along the way. Figuring out how to share parenting duties and household chores is going to be an ongoing discussion. But it’s best to be open and honest to avoid frustration and resentment building up. Consider these ideas:
Split the chores. Create a list of the common daily, weekly, and monthly household chores and find a way to split these chores fairly. Perhaps one parent can contribute more mid-week, while the other takes over on weekends.
Take turns with baby care. One or both of you may be working, but you’re both likely to want to be involved and invested in raising your child. Can you share who gets up at night to soothe your little one if she cries? Can one of you handle the morning feeds, the other the evenings? Can you split who takes days off if your baby is sick, and share who does the childcare runs?
Remain flexible.
Things change and your family’s needs evolve. Sit down with your partner regularly to discuss what’s working and what isn’t.Spend time together as a family. Set aside some time regularly when you can all be together as a family in a more relaxed way. It could be playing on the floor together, sharing family mealtimes, or going for walks on the weekend.
Seek help to resolve conflicts. Conflicts are a natural part of a relationship and every family dynamic, but your little one is sensitive to the emotions of the people who care for her. If you need help resolving conflicts, ask your healthcare provider whether there are relationship counselors or other professionals you could consult.

The first year of a baby's life is unique.
The processes of growth and development are so intense that each new month is not like the previous one. In this regard, the child's diet undergoes changes every month to meet the growing needs of the body for nutrients, vitamins, minerals and other biologically active substances. Let's discuss what changes are taking place in the baby's diet, and what can be included in the diet at 10 months. 9Ol000 Basic principles and changes in nutrition at 10 months
The basic food groups that must be included in the daily diet of children in the second half of life remain the same - vegetables, fruits, meat, cereals, dairy products. There are 3 main meals and 2-3 additional ones, while the portion size increases, and the daily amount of food is 1000-1100 ml. The child no longer looks like a baby - he has grown stronger, is trying to walk, he has an interest in all the phenomena of the world around him, including traditional adult food. Of course, the menu at 10 months is still very different from the food of the general table, but in terms of the possible variety of food, the list is already close to the diet of older children.
The baby’s menu can already be diversified with homemade dishes in the form of soups, puddings and casseroles. Vegetables and fruits can be partially raw, grated on a fine grater. The drinking diet is still represented mainly by water, but the child can already drink compotes and fruit drinks of home and industrial production without the addition of sugar and artificial colors.
Feeding a 10-month-old baby
Daily routine and nutrition are very important in a baby's life. Children quickly get used to a certain routine and more readily eat the dishes that are traditionally offered at this meal. Of course, each child is unique, and yours has its own favorite foods and their combinations. Try to rationally distribute all the necessary complementary foods in 5 meals, taking into account the characteristics of family life. Adhere to the principle of a balanced menu, plan your diet for the week in advance, while trying to diversify your diet as much as possible, accustoming your child to the taste of new foods.
First meal
The first meal is early in the morning - the baby wakes up hungry after a 6-8 hour break in food. It is best to feed your baby with breast milk or an adapted formula. Child health and nutrition experts recommend continued breastfeeding (BC) until at least the end of the first year of life. The nutritional value of mother's milk at this age is already low, but as a source of the most important biological substances and psycho-emotional comfort, it is undoubtedly priceless. If the child is bottle-fed, you can prepare him a drink based on an adapted mixture. Until the end of the first year of a child's life, it is not recommended to feed whole cow's milk. The fact is that the protein of cow's and goat's milk can cause an allergic reaction, in addition, it causes damage to the intestinal epithelium of an infant and is a serious burden on the kidneys. Do not rush to introduce this unadapted product into the baby's diet.

Breakfast
The second meal, at approximately 9-10 am, should provide energy and nutrients for a 10-month-old baby to be active in the morning.
What can you offer your child for breakfast? Milk porridge is the perfect product for a good start to the day - it is rich in complex carbohydrates, which ensures long-term saturation and energy boost. The dietary fibers included in its composition are involved in comfortable digestion. In addition, cereals are a source of almost all essential nutrients. In the nutrition of babies at 10 months, the consistency of porridge may already be less homogeneous. Try introducing porridge into your diet, which contains cereal flakes and crushed berries, which helps your child learn to chew. At this age, mothers often begin to cook porridge at home, but it is preferable to use industrial products. Commercially produced porridge is often multi-cereal, which makes it possible to use the beneficial qualities of various grain crops, including those that cannot be cooked at home due to poor digestibility. Cereals go well with fruits and vegetables. For breakfast, you can additionally offer fruit puree or slices of boiled / baked soft fruits for breakfast.
Cottage cheese and vegetable or cottage cheese and cereal casseroles and puddings can diversify the weekly breakfast menu. Every day a child can eat up to 50 grams of cottage cheese. If the child has not previously had allergic reactions, you can expand the range of fruits and gradually introduce citrus fruits and a number of exotic fruits into the diet.
Drinks
It is not recommended to give a large amount of liquid immediately after a meal, as this overloads the digestion process. Limit yourself to a few sips of water or compote if the child wants to drink food. And between the main meals, periodically offer the baby water, compote or fruit drink, as well as special children's tea. Limit your juice intake, as this is a high-carbohydrate product and is a serious burden on the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. The volume of juice per day should not exceed 100 ml.
Lunch
The next meal, lunch, covers a third of the total energy expenditure of the day and provides essential nutrients for active growth and development.
At 10 months, it is already possible to offer the baby unpurified soup, provided that well-boiled vegetables are used. Meat complementary foods should be combined with foods that promote the best absorption of trace elements important for growth and development, especially copper and iron. First of all, these are vegetables, with the exception of legumes, and buckwheat. Given that different types of meat contain different amounts of trace elements and vitamins, a balanced weekly diet includes at least 3-4 types of meat complementary foods. Also, 1-2 times a week, the baby can eat dishes with the addition of offal - the liver, tongue and heart. In addition to mashed meat, the baby can be offered coarsely chopped meatballs or steam cutlets. Adding vegetable and cereal components to a meat dish makes the taste more tender and enriches the diet with other beneficial nutrients. Despite the insipid taste of dinner dishes, which seems to many adults, it is not recommended to add salt and spices to them.
At 10 months, onions and parsley and dill can be used to develop taste buds in dishes.
Snack
Snack, although not the main meal, is necessary for the baby to reinforce forces after a daytime nap and provide the necessary energy for active activities in the afternoon. A dairy product rich in easily digestible protein and fat is ideal, combined with cereals and fruits that complement the dish with carbohydrates and fiber. For a 10-month-old baby, this could be a specialized fermented milk drink combined with baby biscuits and fruit. Another option would be a special industrial product called "Snack Porridge", which is a delicious dessert that combines cereals, milk and natural fruits. In addition to nutritional value, it is a source of dietary fiber, organic acids, vitamins and trace elements. And for kids, this is a delicacy, because the dish has a delicate texture and pleasant taste.
Dinner
The main evening meal should be easy to digest to avoid problems with digestion at night, and at the same time be nutritious.
A 10-month-old baby can be offered a fish soufflé with a vegetable garnish, a curd-cereal casserole with fruit sauce, baked vegetables with noodles, or a fruit-cereal pudding. Right before bedtime, the baby can be fed with breast milk or an adapted mixture, which will ensure comfortable falling asleep and a restful night's sleep.

Complementary foods at 10 months continue the period of diversity, new products are introduced into his diet, which will significantly expand the child's menu. This article provides information on complementary foods for children aged 10 months and older.
At 10 months old, almost all babies sit perfectly, crawl and possibly try to walk, so they need good nutrition to replenish their energy.
Breast milk is still an important part of your 10-month-old baby's diet, but solid foods are equally vital these days. You should not limit the consumption of the child, we always offer him a varied menu. It is necessary to show ingenuity and creative approach to cooking. The fact is that closer to the year, most babies independently limit the amount of food they will eat, so if the baby is already accustomed to a variety of foods, their diet will not become so meager.

There are no strong changes in the nutrition of a 10-month-old baby, we continue to feed him with the foods introduced earlier and add new types of food. The food at this stage already contains small and medium pieces, which are kneaded with a fork, finger food from soft and medium soft foods is also offered. Baby food is prepared more dense, so that the child learns to chew it before swallowing, thereby developing the chewing skill.
Complementary foods at 10 months undergo some changes regarding the heat treatment of fruits and vegetables.
More products or dishes that are not stewed or boiled are introduced into the menu. A child at 10 months old can prepare salads from fresh fruits and vegetables enriched with finely chopped greens. We also try to give fruits and berries fresh, but do not forget to start with small portions. Avoid very acidic berries and citrus fruits.
Table of Contents:
The child needs the right nutrients to stay healthy during growth and development. Therefore, complementary foods at 10 months provide for the introduction of fish, cottage cheese, yogurt, yolk, bread, and pasta into the child's diet.
Fish food at 10 months
The main advantages of fish are its easy digestibility, delicate texture, high content of amino acids and healthy fatty acids. As the first fish food, you can use low-fat river fish or ocean fish, for example, river perch, pike perch, pollock, hake, etc. Like any new complementary food, fish puree is introduced in small portions, starting with 0.
5-1 teaspoon, we observe the child, we monitor the body's reaction to possible allergic reactions, since fish is an allergen.
If there is any doubt about whether to introduce fish into the child's diet, then you can consult a pediatrician or postpone the introduction of fish food closer to 12 months, when the baby is ready for this. Fish dishes are offered to the child no more than once a week, about 30 grams.
It is also necessary to take into account that fish complementary foods are introduced only after meat is introduced and the child is used to it. And fish should also be present on the child’s menu separately from meat, at least at first, then you can offer the child meat and fish on the same day, but at different meals. Each variety of fish is administered separately with tracking of an allergic reaction. We also take into account that up to a year only fish puree is present in the diet of baby food.
Milk complementary foods at 10 months
If kefir was introduced into the child's diet at 8 months, then we continue to feed the baby with it.
But if this product has not yet been introduced, then you can still wait and introduce it closer to 12 months. But complementary foods at 10 months can be enriched with baby yogurt, which is prepared independently or bought. Yogurt is introduced into baby food like any other new product, starting with 1 teaspoon and gradually increasing the volume to 200 ml. You can offer this product to your child for an afternoon snack or at bedtime, just remember to brush your teeth after or give your baby some water to drink.
You can also add no more than 5 grams of cheese to the children's diet, but this will be enough to enrich the dishes, give a lot of new taste sensations. It is best to use cheese with broccoli or pasta. Just keep in mind that not all children like the look of melted cheese, so we offer cheese in the form of crumbs, sprinkled on a slightly warm dish. And we also buy cheese, not a cheese product.
Many parents introduce cottage cheese at 10 months on the advice of a pediatrician, although most doctors advise waiting until 12 months.
If the decision is made to introduce cottage cheese, then we bring the volume to 40 grams.
Meat food at 10 months
Meat food has not changed, only the volume has increased to 50 grams. It is at 10 months that many parents introduce the yolk into baby food. However, since the yolk is one of the foods that most often causes allergies, we advise you to wait with its introduction into complementary foods if in doubt.
Vegetable complementary foods at 10 months
Vegetable complementary foods at 10 months are very diverse, but we are still expanding its boundaries, so we can introduce white cabbage, green peas and beans into the diet. Do not rush and introduce these vegetables right at 10 months, they can be safely gradually added to the baby's diet up to 12 months.
Complementary foods at 10 months are also replenished with pasta and bread. Macaroni can be offered as a finger food, on its own, or topped with cheese and served with vegetables.

Feeding a child at 10 months: Mode
A child at 10 months eats 4-5 times a day with breaks between feedings from 3 to 4.5 hours. Feeding is given 3 times a day. At this stage, baby food is varied, complementary foods consist of such main dishes as: meat, fish, vegetables, cereals, dairy products and fruits. The approximate amount of food for one feeding is 230-250 grams, but the volume depends on the child.
Feeding a 10-month-old baby: Norms
Breast milk intake rates may have dropped significantly, and some formula-fed babies may have stopped using formula and switched entirely to fermented milk products. The table shows the approximate norms of food consumption at one meal.
Feeding a 10-month-old baby: Table manners
A 10-month-old baby behaves more independently, so you can give him a piece of soft bread in his palm during lunch.
The main thing to remember is that you should not scold the baby if he drops it or crumbles it, this is normal. The child develops fine motor skills of the hands, so everything often falls on the floor, he is constantly dirty at the table, and everything around him, including his mother, is all in baby food. Be patient, this is a period that will pass too quickly.
At 10 months you can show your baby how to tear off a piece of bread and put it in a spoon or crumble bread into a bowl of soup, I assure you, he will love this game. Praise is the main stimulus for the development of independence and remembering the rules of behavior at the table, do not deprive your child of a positive incentive, praise more often for the right actions and deeds. We remember that there is no entertainment at the table, say, there is no television and toys, a quiet peaceful conversation with a child or between family members will help the development of the baby's speech apparatus. Remember that the baby's food intake should be associated with positive emotions, so no food violence at the table, if the baby refuses, then he is not hungry.
Complementary foods at 10 months: Water
The volume of water remains at the same level, we offer the baby water, compotes, fruit drinks, jelly, herbal teas. On average, a child can drink from 100 to 300 ml, in hot weather the volume may increase. We just monitor the condition of the child, whether he has dehydration, with GV we often apply it to the chest.
