Matters needing attention in cooking
(1) It is forbidden to add salt when making complementary food for a baby before the age of one, because the baby's kidneys are not fully developed, and the milk and other foods he drinks contain sodium, which is enough for the child's growth and metabolism. 1~2-year-old babies should add less salt and have a light diet.
(2) When cooking carrots, don't add vinegar to avoid the loss of carotene.
(3) Carotene is a fat-soluble vitamin, which can be easily absorbed by human body only after being fried in oil.
(4) Don't overuse carrots. A large intake of carotene will change the pigment of the skin and turn it into orange.

Carrots are rich in nutrition. In addition to vitamins B 1, B2, calcium, iron and other nutrients, there are also well-known carotene, which can be properly added as a complementary food after the baby is 6 months old.

This practice is suitable for breakfast in winter. Wash the rice the night before, fill the rice cooker with water and make an appointment to cook porridge. The next morning, after the porridge is boiled, add diced carrots to continue cooking, add Chinese cabbage cut into small pieces two minutes before taking out the pot, and add appropriate amount of salt and sesame oil when taking out the pot.
After carrots are cooked at high temperature, the smell will be much lighter. Coupled with the seasoning of salt and sesame oil, the special smell of carrots can hardly be smelled. Giving children such a bowl of porridge in winter morning will keep them warm and let them eat carrots.

Nutritional value of carrots
Carrots are rich in nutrients, including vitamins, protein, trace elements, pectin, starch, inorganic salts and carotene, among which vitamin A can promote the growth and development of infants' bones; Carotene can enhance the baby's immunity and improve night blindness.
Babies who often eat carrots can strengthen the spleen and promote digestion, nourish the liver and improve eyesight, and moisten the intestines to relieve constipation.
Carotene in carrots is a fat-soluble substance, so try to cook it before eating, and try to match it with some oil. Below, I recommend several delicious and nutritious carrot meals to you:
Carrot meat steamed bun
Shredded carrots, with meat stuffing, can also be mixed with fungus and eggs to make stuffing and wrapped into buns. The finished product has no special taste of carrots at all, but it has a slight sweetness, which is very suitable for making breakfast for babies. It is delicious and well absorbed with a bowl of rice porridge.
Carrots, parsley and meatballs
Shred carrots and add coriander powder (my baby eats coriander, but it doesn't respond. It tastes delicious. If the baby doesn't like coriander, don't put it), eggs, thirteen spices, salt, flour, minced onion and ginger, sesame oil, stir well, then make small balls and fry until golden brown. Bite by bite, the baby loves it.
Carrot and shredded potato
Clean carrots and potatoes, and wash potatoes to remove starch. Put it aside. Marinate shredded pork with soy sauce and sesame oil for ten minutes. Heat a wok, add oil, then add shredded pork and stir-fry until it changes color, add shredded carrot and stir-fry until soft, add shredded potato, stir-fry, add appropriate amount of soy sauce and salt to taste, and take out.
My family's home cooking, which children love to eat, will not affect their appetite just because it is shredded carrots.
My family doesn't like carrots. I always make carrot cakes for my baby. My baby likes to eat them. Basically once every two or three days. When cooking, I will cut carrots into filaments, cook them in water and mix them with flour. For better taste, I will add an egg and a little chopped green onion. The cake made in this way has the taste of onion, which completely masks the taste of carrot. Of course, if you don't eat onions, don't add onions.
