We’re still in the series of Musa eating reviews, in which you can take a peek into my baby diet within his first year of life. In this post, I compiled new foods he ate from 9 month old to 10 month old that had not been given in the previous months. See also Month 1 Review, Month 2 Review, and Month 3 Review. Since 9 months, Musa mostly sampled adult foods I cooked at home and became less restrictive in terms of portion. I just followed him when to stop eating and he became more mature in regulating himself.

Eight-months means saying bye-bye to puree. Musa is already used to finger foods since the beginning, so he jumps to chunked foods with no problem.

Yet, he still can’t estimate how much his mouth can handle foods and I often find he’s spitting before eating its spits again. It didn’t happen in the past months. Previously, he kept chewing no matter how much the foods filling up his mouth or actually he might not have idea yet the way to take his foods out when his mouth is full ^_^. In a good perspective, it’s actually a good sign that he’s been able to manage bite per bite.
