Two-and-a-half-year-old baby diet schedule
A 2-year-old baby can already eat cereal and other staple foods like mom and dad, but the baby's diet needs to be cooked separately, and the adult diet baby can't adapt to it for the time being. At this stage, the baby's food is mainly cereals such as rice and noodles, because cereals are the main source of heat energy. The protein required by the baby mainly comes from meat, eggs, milk and fish. Calcium, iron and other minerals mainly come from vegetables, and some come from animal foods; Vitamins mainly come from fruits and vegetables.
The stomach capacity of a 2-year-old baby is about 300 ml, so parents don't have to cook too much food every meal, and the baby can't finish it. At this stage, the baby eats 4-5 times a day, 3 times a day, and the interval between meals is about 4 hours, and some snacks are added between meals.
The 2-year-old baby's daily main food is about100g, meat, fish, eggs and milk are about100g, and vegetables are 50-100g; The supply of snacks and fruits between meals is about 50 grams. Because the baby's food intake is limited, in order to ensure adequate nutrition, fish, meat and eggs should be eaten more, but soy products can be eaten less; The supply of vegetables is more, and some fruits can be reduced appropriately; Eat more non-staple food and less staple food, so that the nutritional supply can be sufficient and balanced.
In the production of main and non-staple foods
Parents should pay attention to the independence and characteristics of children's supplementary food and try their best to avoid replacing children's supplementary food with adult meals. Children's food should be "soft" and "rotten". The shape of dishes and pasta should be "small" and "exquisite", and the content of food should be simple and nutritious. Fish, lean meat, eggs, liquid milk, livestock blood, fresh fruits and vegetables (mainly dark, green and orange) and soy products are often used as food sources and varieties.
Cooking method
We should adopt "simmering, boiling and stewing", and try not to eat or occasionally eat oily foods such as frying or frying, so as to avoid stopping eating, indigestion or even diarrhea. Food is changed from single production to mixed production, such as porridge with meat, eggs and vegetables, porridge with milk and sesame sauce, braised rice with minced meat and rape, which is not only warm and easy to feed, but also convenient for children to learn to eat by themselves. With the improvement of children's eating skills, some foods that can be eaten by hand, such as steamed bread slices, toast slices, cakes, cakes and rolls, can be added in time to promote the coordinated development of children's hand, eye and mouth movements and cultivate their skills of eating alone.
