How solids usually goes at 10 months old
You can start finger foods baby grabs and brings to their mouth. Offer varied textures like soft rice balls and veggie sticks. Iron can run low now, so choose foods with iron in mind.
What to keep an eye on
Avoid round, hard foods (whole grapes, nuts) — they're choking hazards.
aldagado's tips
- Spilling is natural — encourage the drive to self-feed.
- Keep snacks natural, like fruit and sweet potato.
