What else can you offer a 9-month-old baby for an afternoon snack besides biscuits?

A 9-month-old baby doesn't necessarily have to have biscuits for their afternoon snack . You can absolutely offer your baby something else at snack time. We suggest introducing fruit. But of course, you can adapt the size of the snack as your baby develops. You can now cut the fruit into small pieces and offer them to your baby that way. Since they have now developed their pincer grasp, they will be able to pick up the pieces using their index finger and thumb. You can also spear the piece with a fork and let your baby bring the fruit to their mouth themselves. Will you be offering fruit or biscuits to your 9-month-old for their afternoon snack?

Starting purees at 4 months and wanting to start BLW at 6 months is perfectly possible. Or perhaps you're wondering how to combine breast milk/infant formula and BLW .
