10 months baby food chart | 10 months baby’s schedule | 301 to 330 days

This post is for babies who have completed 10 months and just starting their 11th month.

Below is my baby’s schedule for this month. This schedule is just for your reference. Please don’t try to fit your baby in this schedule. Let your baby decide his/her schedule to nap. And you choose a wise time (to feed solids) that suits you and your baby.

10 months baby schedule

Please have a look at the previous food charts(click here for link) to check if you have introduced all those foods before introducing the foods mentioned in this 10 months food chart. In this month, you can add a mid-morning snack(preferably fruits). But, I didn’t add an extra snack as my baby was still taking mid-morning nap and so she didn’t need it. If you could fit a brunch time snack in your baby’s schedule, you can very well got for it.

• I planned to give Goat liver & Mutton last month, but couldn’t get fresh ones and so gave this month.
• New food – Chicken & chicken liver, Cottage cheese/Paneer(Could have given after completing 8 months), Chick peas/Sundal(both black & white), Cow peas/Thattha payaru.
  
• If you have any queries, pls read this post(click here) on Frequently Asked Questions and that will have answers to most of your questions.

10 months baby food chart

Day	Breakfast	Lunch	Evening Snack	Dinner
Day 1	Old fashioned rolled oats porridge cooked with grated cashew & pista. Click here for recipe.. See last point in tips section ..	Carrot khichdi 🥕 (link)using home made rice + fried gram khichdi powder(link).	Peeled & chopped plums. I slightly handmash while feeding.	White rava upma. I just took out a portion from our upma for baby. It had 3 uncut green chillies.. Not so spicy as they were uncut. After taking out baby’s portion, I added salt , mixed well & just kept closed off the stove for 5 mins for us. If your baby can’t handle this texture, you can add little water or mash with banana and give. Recipe same as my wheat rava upma(link) but used white rava.
Day 2	Avocado 🥑 and banana 🍌	Matta rice mashed with mutton soup and a small piece of liver. Added liver with other mutton pieces while cooking soup.

Immediately transfer to a hot pack & keep closed. Cut out thick edges & feed only the soft parts with stuffing. The parathas were so soft that I didn’t require curd. I put small pieces in a plate & she herself picked & ate it happily.. She loved it so much. Every baby is different. My first one loved porridges & coconut milk based bland dishes..but this gal is loving chapathis, parathas & spicy curries...	Rice with cauliflower kurma.
