10 Months Baby Food Chart With Recipes
By 10 months, most babies have a few teeth and are able to chew and swallow food with ease but at the same time, babies seem to be less and less interested in eating. Mothers often worry about the child’s poor appetite. Well, the poor appetite is not due to disinterest in eating but maybe due to teething and because your child wants to explore things around him and is more inclined towards play.
It could also be due to the fact that your baby has become picky in choosing the foods he/she wants to eat. In this article, you will find a food chart for 10 months baby with recipe which will be very helpful for you.
