A treasure dad carefully summarizes the complementary food guide (applicable to 1-2 years old)

First, the complementary food changes to the staple food

After the previous complementary food addition training, the baby at this stage can basically gradually transition to the adult diet.

However, we should pay attention to several principles: low salt, little oil, and soft rot

Because children's kidneys and gastrointestinal functions are still weak, and their teeth are not yet fully developed

, they can't eat adult meals, so they need to start a new stove to continue to make complementary food suitable for children

This period is also a key period for baby's language development

Eating complementary food also exercises their oral development.

so, Appropriate complementary food can not only make the baby grow up healthily < P > but also make the baby speak as soon as possible

1. Judging whether your baby's growth and development is qualified

According to the World Health Organization's Child Growth Standard (26)

A simple formula is used to calculate the weight of your child

1-6 years old: age (years old) × 2+8kg

2 years old: age (years old) × 7 (cm)+7cm < You can probably know the child's development

2. Language development

1-2-year-old babies have basically understood the adult language and can use words, and the vocabulary has increased to about 2. Be able to express your wishes and communicate in words. At this time, most people often say nouns, occasionally verbs, and slowly add adjectives.

As mentioned above, proper complementary food can exercise the baby's oral development, thus indirectly improving his language ability. Therefore, when the babies aged 1-2 have not spoken or have a small number of words, you should consider whether it is because the complementary food is added too little or too soft to chew, thus achieving the purpose of oral exercise.

Second, how to add complementary food

1. Nutritional needs

Babies aged 1-2 are still in a fast-growing period, and they need relatively high nutrients. At this time, when the babies are basically not idle, their activity ability increases rapidly and their range of activities expands rapidly. According to expert research, babies of this age need 8-9 calories a day. How to measure it? It is about 4%-5% of that of adults, that is to say, how to judge how much children eat a day? Just cut your usual appetite by a little more than half.

During this period, the baby's demand for minerals and vitamins has greatly increased, as shown in the following table:

2. Exercise the baby's eating skills

At this stage, solid food has become the baby's main nutritional source, and milk has become an auxiliary food

But 5ml of dairy products must be supplemented every day. But remember not to drink too much milk, which will increase the feeling of fullness, and the baby will not feel hungry. Many parents feedback that the baby doesn't like eating, and the main reason is probably: drinking too much milk!

remember: it is much more important to form a good habit of eating than to drink more milk!

Babies' teeth are hard now, and they can chew up food. At this stage, try not to make any mushy food. They can be properly turned into lumps and granules, but they are softer and smaller than those of adults. Be sure to pay attention to safety, it is too dangerous to swallow at random, and parents should guide their babies to chew more and then swallow.

At this time, the baby's consciousness of eating by himself is very strong. He can hold the bowl with both hands and slowly scoop up the food with a spoon and put it in his mouth. Every time you put it in your mouth accurately, it is a small success for them. Parents are advised to let their babies eat by themselves as much as possible. Although a lot of food will be spilled in the early stage (my family's method is to spread a piece of waste newspaper under the baby chair and clean it up after eating, which is simple and convenient), after a period of exercise, the babies will certainly be able to master it skillfully! If you take the place of the baby's hand and feed every meal at this time, it will not only kill the child's ability to eat, but also destroy the child's enthusiasm for exploration and bury the hidden danger of the baby's bad habit of not eating well.

3. Types of food added

I divide complementary food into three categories, namely: staple food, main course and homemade snacks.

① staple foods and their functions

strengthening the body: small steamed bread with miscellaneous grains (generally, miscellaneous grains can be matched at will on the market)

calcium and iron supplementation: sesame sauce rolls

rich nutrition: shrimp with black fungus and small jiaozi (the ratio of meat to vegetables is 1:3)

promoting development: milky spinach egg cakes and various vegetable cakes

classic. Fried rice with eggs (all kinds of diced vegetables)

② Main course:

Calcium supplement: Fried tofu with shrimp skin

Clearing heat and removing summer heat: Fried vegetables with shrimp skin and wax gourd

Nutritional and delicious: Fried vegetables with fungi

Eggs with white matter: stewed fish and tofu

Prevention of anemia: Duck blood tofu

Strengthening stomach and promoting digestion: minced tomato

. Chinese kale

moisten intestines and remove fire: stir-fry Chinese kale with minced meat

nourish brain and soothe nerves: vegetable salad (diced cucumber, tomatoes, various fruits, Yogurt)

Resolving phlegm and relieving cough: cold oil-wheat dish

Supplementing iodine and calcium: Stewed tofu with kelp

Supplementing vitamin A: Fried broccoli with beef

Supplementing potassium: Corn Flammulina velutipes ribs soup

③ Healthy homemade snacks: mainly used as supplements for three meals

Non-cereal vegetable snacks: spinach egg cakes, steamed pumpkin cakes, sweet potato sesame balls. Strawberry jam, cortex moutan, banana slices

Egg milk baked snacks: molar biscuits, egg pudding, graham crackers drinks: freshly squeezed orange juice, lemonade, watermelon juice, etc.

4. The number of supplementary foods added every day

According to children's appetite, meals can be arranged five times a day, except for three meals a day in the morning, noon and evening. Have a meal of fruit, milk and snacks in the morning and afternoon (I will update the specific course of each meal and healthy snacks in the future)

Dinner should include staple food and main course, soup or boiled water

Pay attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables, cultivate children's good habit of eating fruits and vegetables from an early age, and pay attention to adding some coarse grains and potatoes appropriately.

5. Develop good eating habits

Control snacks and eat less or no sweets. Don't eat sweets and jellies in principle

Don't eat fried, pickled and grilled foods in principle

Let children learn to chew slowly, and don't gorge themselves

Staple food and vegetables should be served separately. Avoid soup and rice. This is not conducive to baby chewing, affecting the development of facial, jaw muscles and tongue, which is not conducive to the development of language functions! It is also not conducive to the absorption of food.

Parents should create a harmonious and beautiful eating environment.

Finally, they should wash their hands before and after meals, and do not watch TV or play with toys when eating. Develop a good habit of paying attention to eating

6. Nutritional catering

Types and proportions that babies should eat every day

5-1g of cereals and potatoes

Meat, poultry and fish: 5-75g

Eggs: 1

dairy product every day: 5ml in total

Vegetables: 5-1g. Key points of supplementary food in spring

Spring: Spring is the opportunity for all things to revive and grow up, so it is necessary to supplement carbohydrates (staple food) in large quantities to get the energy needed for the baby's growth and development. Eat more soy products, fish and milk to ensure the supplement of protein and calcium. The taste is to cook more and fry less. Vitamin A, D and carotene should be supplemented.
