At 10 months, most babies eat 2 - 3 solid meals a day alongside around 4 - 6 milk feeds. While solid meals increase, formula and/or breastmilk continue to provide the bulk of nutrition until closer to 12 months. Babies are usually becoming more skilled at self-feeding as pincer grasp and coordination improve.

Breast milk or formula is still primary at 10 months, but solid meals are a consistent 2 - 3 times a day. Finger foods and family-table foods are increasingly on the menu.
At 10 months, consider feeding baby the family meal, though modified for safety. Offer a wide variety of flavors and textures, even if rejected at first. Repeated exposure to new foods (sometimes 15+ tries) is normal before acceptance. Keep portions small and let your baby lead.
