im a first time mother still need some advice from other moms

At 9 months old I used to give my bub whatever we were eating (except not spicy food), I would just make sure that it was mushy enough for him to eat..

It's probably not such a great idea to put sugar in your child's water, due to the new teeth. And he might become so used to the sweetened water, he won't drink regular water. Once he can sit up, you can feed him anything you eat, just a little blander and softer. My son was eating burgers when he was 9 months, I'd just chew it a little first. He loved tomatoes, boiled carrots, tiny pieces of hotdog, dry toast, peas, grean beans, fruits (especially pineapple and orange), puddings, moist cakes, etc. It's such a great time now, he's learning what he likes and doesn't like and how to feed himself. Oatmeal and rice are always good options, just cook the rice a little more than usual to make it smushy. Blessed Be

This is a great time to start introducing foods with new flavors and textures to your son. Strained foods can gradually be replaced by mashed and finger foods. Take this opportunity to serve as many healthy food choices as possible before your child develops strong food preferences. Your baby is probably beginning to feed himself. You can cut up tiny pieces of food and place them on the feeding tray. Cereals, breads, cheese, and other soft foods are good choices. Try to avoid hard, smooth food, such as hot dogs, apples, grapes, peanuts, carrots or popcorn for the time being.

try to boil some carrots and mash them. i always cook for my children i dont give them something from the store that comes in bottles i give them all natural. fresh veggies and fruits. try to give him freshly squeeze orange or lemon juice. it is good source of vitamin c. cook pork with beans too. and give him healthy snacks. motherhood requires hard working. God bless wink wink

Congratulations! I think the milk from mother is always the best food for the baby. In this age you can also try to add more extra food for your baby. Such as the mashed vegetable or the yolk of egg. Juice or some fruits are also good for him.
