At 10-months old your baby should be enjoying three solid meals a day. She will also be ready to tackle more complex foods as solids gradually replace milk as the main source of nutrition. Your baby will still need 500-600ml of milk per day until the age of 2.
Below is an example feeding schedule with food suggestions to give you an idea of how to nutritionally structure your little one’s day. It should just be used as an example to help you plan meals and mealtimes. There’s no need to stick to it rigidly or serve the same menu day after day. It’s important to give your baby a variety of foods. The more foods you can introduce them to while they’re young, the less chance of them becoming fussy eaters as they grow up. A mixture of spoon fed and finger foods is great for variety. Let your baby set the pace and be your guide.
Aim to serve your baby the following daily portions:
On waking:
Breast or bottle feed on waking (150-200mls)
Breakfast:
Porridge/cereal based breakfast snack OR toast followed by fruit
Mid-morning:
Breast or bottle feed (150-200mls) plus a small carbohydrate rich snack such as bread sticks or rice cakes
Lunch:
Spaghetti bolognese with peas OR vegetable dal and rice and freshly sliced fruit
Mid-afternoon snack:
Hummus and crackers/cooked carrot sticks
Dinner:
Chicken/cheese sandwiches OR salmon fishcakes and mashed potato followed by blueberries (cut in half) and natural yogurt
Bedtime:
Breast or bottle feed (150-200mls)
