Here you will find 20 lunch ideas for 10 month olds like avocado toast, pasta, deconstructed sandwich and more based on what I actually feed my 10 month old (as a mom of three!).

I’m a mom of three and sharing lunch ideas for 10 month olds based on what my babies have actually been eating at this age.

Baby lunch ideas don’t have to be difficult! We normally start with baby led weaning around 6 months old and my kids learn to eat modified versions of what the rest of the family has for lunch.

With three kids it can get difficult to make different meals all the time, so for the most part our babies eat what we do!

If your baby is brand new to solid foods, start here instead:
