This is the time many Moms complain about a decrease in baby’s appetite. Let’s fix that by changing up your baby’s diet with our 10 Months Baby Food Chart!
As your baby completes 10 months, you notice that she seems more and more disinterested as mealtime approaches. Most Moms see this as a sign of decreased appetite and immediately start to panic! Then come the doctor calls, appetite-inducing tonics and all kinds of home remedies.
The truth is that it isn’t the baby’s appetite that has reduced – it’s her interest. Your baby’s not a helpless creature stuck in a crib anymore – she’s now a curious adventurer, exploring new things everywhere. It’s only natural that she’d want something new in her food too!
So what’s the solution? Just this – continue to offer familiar foods, but keep inserting new varieties as well. Here are some new foods you can introduce at this stage:
- Cauliflower
- Whole Eggs
- Fish
- Meat
- Berries
- Brinjal/Egg Plant
- Mushroom
You can also try changing cooking methods of the same food – it’ll appear new to baby. With these points in mind, we’ve put together a 10 months baby food chart, complete with Indian recipes.
Here are a few things to remember during this month:
- Stop pureeing baby’s food from now on
- Offer lots of finger foods as meals and snacks
- Try a schedule of 3 meals and 2 snacks in a day, but give priority to baby’s hunger cues
- Continue to breastfeed – it is still an important source of nourishment for baby

My baby has got only two teeth now. All the foods mentioned above requires to be chewed for example dosa, chapati, bread etc. As he can’t bite or chew i have to mash ar puree everything otherwise he gets choked
Please try to gradually change the consistency from purees to normal. Baby’s gums can chew the basic foods and hence you can start practicing self feeding under supervision. Gradually baby would cope up 🙂
Hi..so milk is required only once per day ?
Hi Smitha,
You can also feed before bed and breast feeding can be done as per the demand.
Hello mam can i give my baby amul cheese slice or paneer which we eat????he is 10 months old now
Hi,
It’s better if you opt for home made paneer. Because salt should be avoided till baby becomes 1 year.
Thanku mam…can i give almond to my 10 months old baby?.
Hi,
You are most welcome. Yes, you can give almond (powdered form) but please make sure to follow the 3 day rule.
hello.. how can I download the recipe books?? I didn’t get any password.
Hi Humera,

how to move on to texture food .. my 10 months son is still stuck in purees.. doesn’t like eating even mashed food .. he wants everything in puree form.. if I force him to eat .he either spits or throws up
Hey,
Don’t pressurize or try to force feed your child. You can update your cuisine by making or incorporating ingredients in the same dish but in different style. Start giving your child finger foods, let him get used to the texture of the food. Simple soups can be given in between soups the mashed veggies can be hidden and fed. The given link contains the finger foods recipe – https://goo.gl/kdF3BE
Hi, my son will be turning 10 Months this week and he has no teeth yet. I am fearing as well as thinking to give him foods like FF , pancakes, etc. Please guide.
Hi Jeena,
As long as your child is active and completing all the tasks according to his age there is nothing to worry. Each and every child is different some babies tend to get their teeth after 1 year. So continuing feeding and giving activities to your child. currently you can mash the pancakes,finger foods etc can be fed.
Hi Hema,
My daughter is 10 months and she weighs only 6 kgs. Doctor says she is active and healthy but weight is the only concern. She doesn’t eat anything even though I tried with physical activities for her. I have to force feed her (even the fruits or veggies) as she keeps it in her mouth and spits everything. Tried with egg and finger foods but of no use. I am frustrated by feeding her. Please suggest me.
Hi Shwetha, please avoid force feeding your baby. Give her food only when you know that she is hungry. Try to distract her, keep trying with a wide variety of foods. Put different foods in front of her and just ler her mess it up, you should not react to it. It will take your time and patience this can be the best way.
Hii.
My baby is of 10.5months. He dosnt eat anything. Wen i give him food he keeps in his mouth n throw it it, without taking a bit in. Wat do i do
Hi Megha,
Allow your baby to have some physical activities like playing and holding toys keeping toys from one place to another so that your baby can become tired and start to eat the food you are trying to feed him/her. Get to know what your little one likes to eat and try preparing varied dishes using that liked ingredient as a que.
My Baby is 10 month old and he is does not take everything i tire give him. He only takes parle biscuits and his milk. If i feed him anything else he just puk out everything. Also wanted to know can I give him egg? white portion or the yellow one? because I gave him twice but the white portion.
Avoid giving biscuits , yes by now you can introduce egg, for the first time start with egg yellow and then egg white. Also give other varieties of finger foods. Make ladoos at home instead of biscuits.
Hi
My baby is 9.5 month old and mostly he is on 2 times solids only. But he loves to eat everything that we eat. Can I give him
Sure you can start that in small portions.
My son is nine months old.

Hello mam 10 month chart means completed or starting
Hi, this is for babies who have completed 10 months
My 10 mnths old is eatin a very small quantity about 1 big teaspoon…and than rejects whatever it is…her weight came down fron 7.3 to 6.7….please giv some feeding advice.
Hi Novina, most babies pass through a phase where they refuse solids and favour the comfort of having breastmilk or formula. Continue to give a wide range of foods and encourage her to explore her tastes. If she is teething you can give finger foods.
Hi ma’am,
My 10.5 month old has been refusing food since almost a month now.
She weighs just 8.3 kgs, and doesn’t eat more than half katori food. Please help.
It is a phasing phase and start giving finger foods and variety of recipes. She will slowly start exploring her tastes

Thank u for reply Hemaji. It doesn’t cause cold rite. Bcoz few say it catches cold. And often I visit your website to clarify my doubt. Thank u so much
Glad to be of help Matilda 🙂
HiHema,
My son is 9 mnths now and I wish to start egg for him. If I give him scrambled/omellete egg, I guess it will choke…..is it right? Bcz he is used to pureed meals till now. Please also send me some egg recipes. Thanks for your help as always. U r a wonderful mom 🙂
Hi Sumiksha, Thank you for your appreciation. I am giving my almost 10 month old daughter scrambled egg, but she is being partially babyled weaned from 6 months. You can mix the yellow of the egg with the khichdi and feed your baby. After he is used to the taste, you can give him small pieces of omlette or scrambled egg
