“Starting on solid foods”
My baby is 9 months old. He is very interested in finger foods and has no desire to nurse or have me feed him. How can I make sure he is getting enough to eat?

At 9 months, he still needs to breast feed or introduce formula at least 24 oz a day. He can pick up soft foods but these will not have enough calcium or calories for his age
Offer him a healthy diet appropriate for the age and consistency. There is nothing wrong with finger feeding.
Just make sure he is eating the foods
By getting regular check ups with your baby’s doctor to make sure his weight is growing steadily.
