At 9 months old , I feed my baby twice . But I include 1 snack in between . I started 3 meals when my LO is 10 months old , and a snack in between . Snacks is always fruits and half a slice of hard boiled egg . (Mine love egg so much) I prepare porridge for my LO . I would rotate fish or meat in it and small pieces of carrots/brocolli/spinach . Served it for lunch and dinner . Sometimes I will prepare a different meal for dinner . Its either macaroni soup or pasta Now that he is 23 months , he eats rice with us . But i minus salt and sugar in his dish . (cook seperately but same dish)
I only give 1 meal before 1yo because my baby is a big eater and main food before 1 is milk. but there's snack in-between. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKonnBvn5Y5/?igshid=1iyrbmk7h93rc you can check out my IG and give some pancake to your baby
For 9 months old baby - two full meals a day with 1 snack meal is good. You can try porridge with a mixture of different fruits or vegetables like avocado, carrot, pumpkin, potato, strawberry etc.
I give my 9mo 2 meals + 1 snack now. Have not introduce dinner yet
