Ten-month-olds are ready to eat minced food. Chopped onions can be eaten in small quantities under parental supervision, but cooked food is recommended to avoid irritating the baby with its pungent flavor.
Foods for infants during the transition period are chosen according to the growth characteristics of the infant, such as physical growth and feeding skills. Infants can start to add pureed foods such as pureed vegetables and fruits when they are 4-6 months old; end foods such as minced meat and vegetables can be added when they are 7-9 months old; and minced foods such as minced vegetables and soft rice can be added when they are 10-12 months old.
The principle of supplemental food introduction is from few to many, one kind to many kinds, not to add many kinds at once, should be adapted to one kind and then slowly add other kinds, and also should pay attention to the food from fine to coarse from soft to hard.
At the same time, attention should also be paid to the development of infant eating skills, which can increase the infant’s interest in eating and also increase the infant’s coordination ability.
