When you are letting your baby feed himself, never leave him alone, just in case he should choke on something. Recommended foods when baby is nine to twelve months old About now, babies should eat many of the same foods as the rest of the family. Do not add extra salt or sugar to your baby's food. Don't give fried foods. Snack foods Babies often like to munch on something between meals.
Some good things are - pieces of soft fruit, plain cracker biscuits, toast or bread.
Remember, do not use sweet biscuits or sugary foods, as they can make holes in babies' teeth. Sweetened fruit drinks, cordials and soft drinks contain a high amount of sugar and are not good for babies or children. Salty packet chips and crisps are also high in fat. Do not give babies small, hard foods like nuts, peanuts, hard lollies and whole peas. If you are breast feeding, continue to breast feed as often as your baby requires.
