What formula or solid food should a 10-month-old eat?

By 10 months, solid foods should be the main meals, while breast milk or follow-up formula remains the primary source of liquid nutrition. Here's what your baby should eat at this stage:
- Finger foods instead of purees: Soft steamed vegetable sticks (carrots, zucchini, potatoes), well-cooked pasta, soft pear or avocado slices. Your baby learns to pick these up, bring them to their mouth, and develop chewing and hand-eye coordination.
- Protein sources: Well-cooked, shredded chicken or ground meat, mashed cooked egg yolk (whites too, if no allergy), lentil soup, yogurt, fresh cheese.
- Carbohydrates: Oat porridge with fruit or molasses for breakfast, small bread pieces, steamed white or brown rice, bulgur pilaf (mashed).
- Fruits: Banana, peach, melon — soft fruits; steamed and grated apple or pear.
- Fat: 1 teaspoon of olive or butter can be added to meals daily.
Critical: No salt, sugar, or honey (honey is dangerous before 1 year due to botulism risk). Avoid choking hazards like grapes, raw carrots, hard apple slices, whole nuts.
The consensus is that by 10 months, your baby should eat 3 main meals daily plus 1-2 snacks, gradually eating more of what the family eats (as long as it's unsalted and soft). Talk with your pediatrician about the best plan for your baby's specific needs or allergies.
