Please Note: Before feeding your baby, you should always discuss your feeding plan with your personal Pediatrician or Registered Dietitian. None of the ideas provided are specific to your baby, but are to be used as inspiration for 10-month-olds in general. Every baby meets milestones at different times. Always ensure that the foods you offer are appropriately cooked, cut into small, safe pieces, and free from potential choking hazards.

What Makes a Healthy Baby-Led Weaning Breakfast?

Feel free to think outside of the box for breakfast. Your 10-month-old doesn’t know what is typically served for breakfast. Use this time as a chance to expand their palette further and serve nutritionally dense foods such as veggies, proteins, and fruits. I serve my baby starch and grains but minimize them so as not to displace other important nutrients in the first year.

At what age should you serve your baby breakfast?

Introducing baby-led weaning to your baby is a gradual process. Most babies begin to eat at around 6 months, but this will vary depending on their development. By 10 months, most babies will be eating 3 meals per day, including breakfast. If you’re looking for more helpful info on feeding babies and starting baby-led weaning, I highly recommend the book Born to Eat.

17 Baby Breakfast Ideas at 10 Months Old

As we just finished up the 10-month milestone with my third baby, I wanted to share with you some of our favorite breakfasts he enjoyed on the regular.

1. Fried Eggs or Scrambled Eggs

Eggs can be served in a variety of ways to babies. They are an easy and budget-friendly protein option. I typically start serving my babies egg yolks to focus on the most nutrient-dense option, but by 10 months of age, I’ve moved on to serving the whole egg in a variety of ways.

Tip: Add finely chopped spinach and onion or other veggies like bell peppers to scrambled eggs to help expand your baby’s taste while adding a variety of nutrients.

2. Hard Boiled Eggs

We hard-boil eggs in our Instant Pot and then have a quick and easy protein option.

Tip: I love this egg slicer to help cut them to serve to my baby and toddlers.

3. Egg Bake, Casserole, or Frittata

I like to make this easy broccoli egg bake for my family and make sure that I chop any broccoli very finely so that it’s appropriate for my 10-month-old.

4. Dutch Baby

Another great way to get in plenty of eggs is to make a Dutch baby! I cut into finger strips or small bite-size pieces for my 10-month-old. This is our absolute favorite Dutch baby recipe.

5. Overnight Oats

We make baby-friendly banana-sweetened overnight oats, and our whole family enjoys them!

6. Breakfast smoothie

We blend a combination of frozen fruits, greens, yogurt or kefir, and liquid to make a delicious smoothie. I just don’t recommend using juice as your liquid if you are serving to a young baby.

7. Baby-Led Weaning Pancakes

We make these baby-led weaning pancakes all the time. I recommend avoiding syrup when serving to a child under 2, but you can top it with berries, yogurt, or peanut butter.

Tip: We love to heat frozen berries on the stove with a tiny amount of date syrup to make a real-fruit syrup topping. But it can be pretty messy!!

8. Easy Baby French Toast

Delicious French toast is a crowd-pleaser at our house. We use homemade sourdough bread or buy sprouted grain bread like this.

9. Yogurt Parfait

Buy unsweetened plain yogurt (here’s more info on choosing the best yogurt for babies) and top it with small slices of soft fruit or berries to serve your little one a delicious yogurt parfait.

10. Warm Oatmeal

No need for baby oatmeal; just make a pot of warm oatmeal for the whole family. Just skip any sweeteners (especially honey!) in your baby’s bowl.

Be sure to check out these ideas on the best oatmeal recipes for babies.

11. Avocaodo Toast

Mash avocado on top of whole grain, sprouted grain, or sourdough toast. Feel free to top it with additional seasoning (lime juice, tomatoes, or even mix in smashed hard-boiled eggs.)

12. Steamed or Soft Roasted Veggies

Plan ahead and roast or steam veggies for your little one. Sweet potatoes, for example, can make a nutritious addition to any baby breakfast.

13. Banana Bread

This baby-led weaning banana bread is a favorite for my whole family. We leave baby’s pieces plain and top the rest of ours with just a few dark chocolate chips.

14. Sugar Free Pumpkin Muffins

These baby friendly pumpkin muffins are perfect for babies and toddlers. Sweetened with dates and pumpkin, they are healthy and make a fun treat-like breakfast.

15. Crepes

These sourdough crepes are one of our favorite breakfasts! We just cut the crepes into small pieces or strips and serve them to our 10-month-old. If you don’t have any sourdough starter, then you can try this whole grain recipe.

16. Berries or Soft Fruit

Appropriately cut berries or soft fruit (bananas) makes a nice addition to breakfast for your baby.

17. Healthy Toddler Cookies

This makes another fun baby-led weaning breakfast. I designed this recipe for kids under 2 so it has no added sweetener!
