Question 1

can i add grinded dry fruits to my 9 months old baby's food?

Accepted Answer

Won't recommend: I won't recommend, unless you would boil them. It harder for stomach to digest. Why don't you stick to the fresh fruits & vegi?  It has more vitamins. It would help also for teething. Remember only to avoid the small fruits and peaces such as: grapes, peas, pomegranates seeds (choking protection).

Question 2

when can i start feeding my 9 month old baby table food?

Accepted Answer

When you are ready: As soon as the kid can sit in a high chair near the table, they are easily drawn into sampling what you eat.Be sure to plan meals with at least one item you can mash up and offer to them.Texture is often an issue but the kid will often be willing to sample what it sees others eat.

Question 3

i bought rowse honey to sweeten my 4 months baby food, i just found honey to be dangerous 4 infant, its been 1 week of use, wat shld i do, im worried?

Accepted Answer

The issue: Honey can contain botulism spores. In the immature gut of a baby these can hatch into botulism germs &amp; form a toxin that paralyzes their muscles. The most worrisome would be those that control breathing. Infant botulism can come on quietly, but if you monitor your baby with feeds &amp; these proceed vigorously the baby is likely fine. If feeding falls off, movement becomes less, etc take it to be seen

Question 4

can an infant rely strictly on breastfeeding? and what month should i introduce baby food?

Accepted Answer

More or less: Breast milk alone is adequate nutrition for an infants first year. Some add a vitamin for additional assurance. Solids are unnecessary, but a worthy addition to begin the skills needed to transition the kid to table foods.  It is reasonable to delay solids until the kid can sit up with good posture &amp; approach or withdraw from offered foods. This is six to seven months in most.

Question 5

at what age should an infant be given solid baby food?

Accepted Answer

Start solids @ 6 mo: The american academy of pediatrics recommends exclusive breast(or formula) feeding until 6 months. Solids can be introduced at 6 months: usually cereals, vegetables, fruits are started first.

Question 6

food for a 9 month old infant?

Accepted Answer

Food in infant: After 4 months of age it is safe to introduce all foods into an infant diet, but their are caveats. Only 1-2 new foods per week, and slowly at that to ensure no adverse reactions. Breast feeding is still recommended as 1st for first 4-6 months. If the child has eczema, there is a higher rate of food hypersensitivity. If unsure, speak with an allergist.

Question 7

if my 9 month old infant has broken out in hives possibly from a food allergy, is there an antihistamine?

Accepted Answer

Call pediatrician: There are antihistamines that can be used for infants. The dose should be adjusted for your infant's weight. Non-sedating antihistamines are preferred as drowsiness after hives may be a symptom of a more serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can also sometimes cause unexpected irritability. You will want to discuss these issues with your pediatrician.

It can be very annoying, unhealthy, disrupting .A lot of people suffer from it but, without any respiratory issues. If concerned , please consult with your pediatrician.

Question 9

can a 9 month old infant eat tuna?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: In a healthy 9-month-old no food, including tuna, needs to be delayed to reduce allergies (in fact, feeding may reduce allergies). Great omega-3s in tuna, but watch out for accumulating mercury, especially during first 3 years. Wild salmon is a better first fish. If choose tuna: small, infrequent portions. And 'light' tuna better than 'white'. Some brands have lower mercury (smaller fish) options.

Accepted Answer

About 16-18hours: Bed at 6:30pm, up 1 or 2 times to eat, up at about 6:30am. Then 2 naps, 1-2 hours long.  Remember, early bedtime helps babies sleep better.
