The development and nutrition of a 10-month-old baby requires special attention. The 10-month ration remains unchanged in terms of mode and amount. A baby still needs five full meals a day. At this age, children are gradually transferred to a common table. Now the baby can eat the same food as you, of course, with some exceptions.
It should be high-calorie, diverse and useful, contain vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and fats. But keep in mind that it is strictly forbidden to give fried foods to children at this age. Boil or steam the food.
If the child is 10 months old, the diet should include not only pureed fruits and vegetables, but also small pieces. Most children of this age already have 6 teeth, so they easily chew bananas, apricots, boiled vegetables, bread.
✅ Agenda
A 10-month-old baby's routine should include sleeping, eating and playing. As a rule, the baby should sleep at least 2 hours during the day. Night rest should be about 11 hours. Be careful, teach the child in the prescribed manner. Put him to bed at regular times.
When your child is awake, keep him busy with educational games. Let this active time last 2-3 hours. The child's room should be ventilated often (up to 5 times), the temperature should be at least 20 degrees.
At 10 months, the child, like any other age, definitely needs walks in the fresh air, bathing in the bath, gymnastics
✅You can include the following exercises in the massage complex:
back;
abdomen;
flexion and extension of the legs;
grip movements in a circle;
squats (of course, not without the help of mom).
Games and entertainment
For a 10-month-old, almost all activities, both quiet games and active games, are suitable.
✅Try to entertain your child with one of the useful activities:
Cartoons. Any educational video will do to help your child learn to speak.
Painting. Finger paints are all you need.
Color prints. Cardboard items help keep the book healthy, and bright pictures draw the child into the world of fairy tales.
Toys. It is better to choose those who move. It can be a doll or a car.
So, little by little, the baby learns to play on his own for a while, sometimes to let his mother do her job.
10 months for a baby is a very active period of its growth. Although the pace for each child is individual, parents should be very careful about the baby's parameters. After all, not always being active is an indicator of excess and immaturity.
If the deviation from the average value is 600-700 grams, this is normal. If it is 1,5-2 kg, it indicates that the child is overweight or underweight. If you notice abnormalities, be sure to contact your doctor.
