After having a baby, I discovered that some elders really have a mysterious love for steamed egg custard.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t drink milk or eat, just steam some egg custard for your baby;
If you don’t have time to prepare breakfast in the morning, steam some custard for your baby;
There are no vegetables on the table today for the baby to go with the rice. It doesn’t matter. I can steam some egg custard for the baby to go with it;
It doesn’t matter if the baby doesn’t eat vegetables or meat. It will be fine if he eats the steamed egg custard...
Eggs are very nutritious. They are one of the sources of high-quality protein, with a protein content of about 13. They are rich in vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, B vitamins, etc.
But for babies whose bodies are developing rapidly, they need a variety of food and balanced nutrition. In addition to eggs, foods such as pork, beef, chicken, fish, etc. are also high in protein. Add these high-protein foods in a balanced manner to your baby's complementary food, and balance them with carbohydrate foods, rice noodles, porridge, noodles, etc., vegetables and fruits. , is a healthy complementary food that is beneficial to children.
And if you feed your children simple steamed egg custard and steamed egg custard every day, they will get tired of it one day. It’s time to find a new way to cook it for your children! Just like the vegetable sun-cooked eggs I made for my children today.
Chop the vegetables into fine pieces, add some dried beetroot to enhance freshness and supplement zinc, crack an egg in a bowl without breaking it, put the mixed chopped vegetables on the egg white part, and steam it in the pot. After a while, steamed eggs with vegetables and eggs will be ready. The nutritional density is higher than ordinary egg custard; the color is bright and the shape is cute. It can be enjoyed with a bowl of porridge or a cup with the sunshine outside the window to start a beautiful day.
Reference age: babies over 10 months old who are not allergic to food
Food preparation: 1 broccoli, 1 egg, 1 small segment of carrot, 5 scallops
Preparation method:
1 Soak the scallops in advance, then tear them into shreds and set aside.
If you are going to make it the next day, you can put it in a bowl to soak the night before.
2. Blanch the broccoli in a pot of boiling water, then chop into small pieces; peel and chop the carrots.
3 Add scallops, broccoli, carrots, a little vegetable oil and mix evenly.
The vegetables can be replaced with other types that the baby likes, and the particle size can be adjusted according to the baby's own situation.
4. Line a bowl with parchment paper and crack an egg into it.
When cracking in the eggs, make sure that the yolk does not fall apart.
5 Use a spoon to scoop the chopped vegetables into the egg white part, and use chopsticks to gently stir evenly.
6 Wrap in plastic wrap, poke a few small holes, and steam in a pot.
7. After steaming, take it out, let it cool slightly, remove the oil paper from the mold, and the seasonal vegetable sun-dried eggs are ready.
After adding complementary foods, parents can first add egg yolks to their children. There are no strict requirements for the specific adding time. It mainly depends on the child's own willingness and acceptance. My two children add egg yolk at about 7 months old.
Start with 1/4, then slowly increase to 1/2, a whole egg yolk. The first addition is mainly based on trial. After the child eats it, it is confirmed that there is no allergic reaction, etc. before continuing to add it.
Regarding the way eggs are processed, parents should also pay attention to giving their children fully cooked eggs. Some mothers like to use boiling water to make egg soup for their children, thinking that this can maintain the nutrition of eggs. In fact, It is very harmful to children's health, because all the bacteria and parasite eggs in eggs cannot be burned to death, so it is easy to cause diarrhea; it is not recommended to give children soft-boiled eggs, salted eggs, etc.
Can I give my children 2-3 eggs every day? Occasionally okay, but there is no need to eat two or three every day.
Things go to extremes, and eating too much is not always beneficial. Moreover, there are many more nutritious foods than eggs, so the ingredients must be diversified.
The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" recommends that infants and young children aged 6-24 months have a daily egg intake of 25-50 grams. Mothers can provide a reference answer.
