Diet for children 6 - 12 months old should contain all the essential nutrients, like protein, fibers, minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, iron, etc. Diet for 6 to 12 Months Old ChildrenA child between age 6 to 12 months age needs 108 cal, 1.65 g protein, and 500 mg calcium each day. The child should get these nutrients from a variety of foods. In India, 70% of children in the age group of six to 9 months are suffering from anaemia because of inadequate intake and absorption of iron from cereal based diet and inadequate consumption of green leafy vegetables. The Government has declared on 6th March 2008 that children 6 months to 5 years would be given 100 mcg folic acid and 20 mg iron supplement in liquid form. Children in the age group of 6-10 years would be provided with 250 mcg of folic acid and 30 mg iron.
The consumption of breast milk or formula will go down as the child takes more and more solid foods for his source of nutrition. Your 9 months old baby may take 2 -3 solid meals (1/2 to 1 cup or 125 to 250 g) in addition to 4-5 breast or bottle feeds each day. When the baby is 9 months old, ensure that each meal includes a variety of foods including cereals of oat, wheat, rye, or barley, bread, roti, fruits, vegetables, legumes, lentils, cheese, etc. and meat, fish (if you are a meat eater). You should watch for any allergy for these food items. Most first time mothers feed their child every half or one hour thinking that he is hungry all the times. Over-feeding will make the child uncomfortable, he may even vomit, he may have stomach pain or too much gas problem; and you may not be knowing.
