9+ months baby food recipes / stage 3 – homemade baby food recipes
Welcome to 9+ months baby food recipes :)..
If you have been following my baby food recipes, you must be aware of the tips for 8+ months baby food recipes. The same applies for 9+ months as they are still in stage 3 ( which is 8 – 11 months )..
Please read the tips at this link -> https://www.c4cooking.com/8-months-baby-food-recipes/
Important tips:
- Around 9+ months, your baby may eat around 1/2 cup of food and often will be ready for 3 meals
- The texture of stage-3 food can vary from thick purees, mashes and ( minced/grated for teething babies)
- Offer solids atleast 25 – 30 minutes after breast feeding or formula so that they will eat without any fuss and wouldn’t make their tummy full. I always give solids 40 – 45 minutes after breastfeeding as I noticed my sweetie-pie eats well and loves eating food:)
- Remember to offer some water before and after meals.
- Occassionaly, offer your family meals also ( be watchful for any allergic ingredients. If you use spices, offer foods cooked with mild-spices )
- Important note : Always watch for any new signs or symptoms when introducing new foods at all stages.

Introducing Fish for 9+ months baby:
Rice and Fish curry recipe for 9+ months baby.
1 cup coconut (shreds or pieces)
100 gms – white fish fillet
3 shallots or (1 Tbsp chopped onion)
turmeric powder – 1/3 tsp
curry leaf – 1 sprig
1 pinch – fenugreek seeds / methi seeds
tamarind paste – 1 Tbsp ( or 1/4 cup of diluted tamarind)
salt to taste
1/4 cup rice
3/4 cup water
Why fish? .. Fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and has many essential nutrients for brain and eye development, boost immunity and in short, good for the entire body.
Important notes about introducing fish for babies:
- Choose the fish that is low in mercury like cod, flounder, sole, wild alaska and pacific salmon, haddock, gurnard, snapper, anchovies, sardines, herring, tilapia, scallops, clams, striped bass
- Avoid fish high in mercury like sword fish, king markel, shark, atlantic halibut, oysters ( gulf coast), pike, seabass, tuna ( albacore ), tile fish
- Remember to check the ‘local safe-fish eating checklist’ by the environmental group or government boards.
- If your family has a history of fish allergies, please consult your baby’s pediatrician before starting fish (shell fish like shrimp, prawn, scallops, crab, clams) for your baby
- Be sure to check the fish fillets are free of bones, as some fish contain soft, tiny bones .. ( shred the cooked fish with your fingers to make sure it is totally bone-free..)

Hi,
My baby is 9 months old..I have confusion in balancing between milk and solid food .could you please help with ur tips
Hi Reena,
You can offer solids for breakfast, lunch and dinner. do not offer milk just before solids (as the baby might refuse to eat solid food ).. rest of the time, you can offer milk/formula(after waking up, around 11am, after lunch, in the evening, at night(before sleep) ) and 2 – 3 feeds at night when your baby needs (wakesup for milk)
After 10 months, you can gradually reduce the milk/formula feed per day and substitute with snacks or solids 🙂
