Question
Can a nine-month-old baby eat starch?
Answer
Nine-month-old babies can eat starch, but it’s best to opt for steamed or cooked foods, as their digestive systems are still developing and these types of foods are easier to digest. In the month leading up to weaning, gradually decrease the number of times you feed your baby yourself. Introduce other solid foods to your baby’s diet gradually every day. Most children don’t like green vegetables, so make sure to chop them finely and mix them with red and green vegetables.
