Delicious breakfast ideas for babies 10 months and older
As your little one turns 10 months, it’s time to try new breakfasts. These meals should excite your baby’s senses with different colours, textures, and tastes whilst also giving them the nutrients they need for healthy growth!
Tasty fruit and veggie combinations
Fruits and veggies provide plenty of vitamins and minerals for your little one. Mixing different tastes and textures also makes meals fun!
- Mashed avocado with ripe banana
- Steamed and pureed sweet potato with a hint of cinnamon
- Blended strawberries and cooked beetroot for a vibrant pink smoothie
- Finely grated carrot mixed with mashed pear
- Blushing Berries, Pear and Banana
Start with small amounts of new foods, especially allergens like strawberries and watch your little one for any recipes.
Yummy yoghurt and oatmeal blends
Yoghurt and oatmeal are creamy and filling, plus they’re nutritions, offering protein, carbs, and probiotics. Just make sure the oatmeal is soft and easy to mash. You can change the mix by adding more yoghurt or a bit of milk.
Nutritious breakfast ideas for 10 month-old babies
Foods rich in nutrients help your baby grow and develop properly. A good breakfast should have proteins, carbs, and healthy fats.
Scrambled eggs are a great choice for breakfast. They’re full of protein, which is key for your baby’s body and they also have good fats for the brain. Add mashed avocado for creaminess and extra healthy fats.
Cottage cheese is another nutritious breakfast option; it’s soft and mild and packed with calcium for strong bones and teeth. It’s also high in protein and easy to digest. Serve it plain or with mashed berries for extra flavour and antioxidants.
Mashed legumes, like lentils or chickpeas, are another good option as they’re full of plant-based protein, fibre, and vitamins. Mix them with veggies or fruits for a tasty, nutritious meal. Try mashed lentils with carrots and sweet potatoes for a colourful breakfast.

Fun breakfast ideas for Babies 10 months and older

You can also make a smiley face with blueberry eyes and a banana smile, for example.
Try mixing different baby food combinations for fun; blend sweet potato and apple or spinach and pear for a tasty mix.
Introducing allergens to your little one can also be fun whilst being safe at the same time. You can make mini pancakes with wheat flour or spread peanut butter on a banana. Always watch for signs of an allergic reaction and talk to your baby’s doctor if you’re worried.

FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions to help guide you through introducing solids.
Fruits are a great addition to your baby’s breakfast. Use seasonal fruits in smoothies, puree them with other vegetables, add them to yoghurt or even into muffin mixes. You could even try fruit fingers.
Make breakfast easier with simple foods like soft fruit slices and cooked veggie sticks. Try soft eggs, cottage cheese, plain yoghurts and wholemeal toast.
Introduce foods gradually and watch your baby for any reactions. Common allergens such as nuts should be introduced one at a time; wait 3 to 5 days before introducing another allergen.
To incorporate protein into your baby’s meals, try soft boiled eggs, cut into small pieces, with thinly cut strips of wholemeal toast. Greek yoghurt with fruit provides your baby with protein too, or try adding cheese to savoury muffins for a little protein boost. Mashed legumes, like lentils or chickpeas, are another good option as they’re full of plant-based protein, fibre, and vitamins.
