A ten-month-old baby can eat most of the foods on the family table and should eat independently. You can help, but the baby should decide how much to eat. Disagreements about food between mother and child may begin at this stage. It is not right for the mother to decide when and how much the baby will eat and expect the baby to comply without objection.

For the baby to develop good eating habits, the adults at home must also eat well. The baby grows up imitating you. Breakfast, lunch and dinner should be eaten at the table at home.

Starting cow's milk before one year of age is not recommended; honey is not recommended either. Egg white can be introduced gradually around ten months. The baby can eat meat dishes, including mantı, as well as vegetable dishes and fruit. However, if the mother, father or a very close relative has a known, confirmed food allergy, it may be necessary to keep that food out of the baby's diet.

Meals should be eaten at the table. Feeding while watching television, in bed or while playing, or chasing the child with a plate outside the home, at a children's playground or play area, is forbidden. The idea of eating at the table needs to become established, and the baby should be allowed to get a little hungry.
