✅In seven months, it indicates the beginning of the 2nd half of the child's life. Usually by the end of 7 months, the child has learned some way of moving (crawling, crawling, walking on a leash). If before the parents were more comfortable and not afraid to leave medicine or small things on the table, now they are required to be very vigilant. The child's hand can now reach many places.
The child weighed 400-500 grams and increased his height by 1.5-2 cm. Head and chest area also increased by half a cm. By this time, many children will have their first tooth erupted or started to erupt.
By the age of seven months, the baby's need for iron increases. It is therefore recommended to start giving extra food from products rich in iron. For example, gluten-free cereal (early meat delivery).
The amount of extra food will increase. For example, the amount of juice and puree can be increased to 60 grams. Cottage cheese to 40 grams. New products can be added. They can be recommended egg yolks, children’s biscuits, toasted bread.
Caution is required when delivering a new product.

✅At seven to nine months, the baby will have started or will continue to be given extra food. What products are useful and possible to give during this period?
- Avocado
- Carrots
- Kabachok
- Pumpkin
- Mashed potatoes
- Kasha
- Biscuits
- Pear and apple juices
✅How to give?
Most seven- to nine-month-olds will have only their front teeth out. Therefore, the food should be in the form of puree. Hard biscuits can be handed out when the teeth come out. Most people can hold a bottle and drink tea.
✅Example of food for a seven- to nine-month-old child:
1. Vegetable puree: Cook potatoes and carrots in boiling water (if you can, cook them in a saucepan, more vitamins will be preserved). After cooking, mash well. No need to add salt. The later you start giving salt and sugar, the more benefits it will have for your child’s health. Instead of potatoes or carrots, you can add zucchini or squash.
