What should a two-and-a-half-year-old baby eat three times a day?

Babies aged two and a half to three can transition to three meals a day at home. But there are still some problems to pay attention to at this age.

First of all, children still need to drink some milk. While eating a normal diet, you should also drink some milk powder as an aid. Because children's digestive system and absorption system are not as good as adults. The absorption of a lot of food is still somewhat poor.

Secondly, while eating three meals a day normally, some foods can't be given to children, such as big oil, big salt and too spicy food. Children's tissues and organs are not fully developed. Treating these heavy-flavored foods will have some bad effects on children and even increase the burden on various organs.

Third, while transitioning to normal three meals a day, we should also take into account the large amount of activities and fast consumption of children, and we should also add some meals in the middle. Such as fruit or snacks.

But there is one problem that must be paid attention to, that is, children should not be given too many snacks or sweets. This will seriously affect the development of children's brains. Various food additives are the most taboo things in children's brain development. They will seriously affect the normal function of children's brain or nervous system.

I read an example: a boy of 13 years old didn't drink water for a long time, only drank drinks, and drank all kinds of drinks. In the end, he developed a serious brain atrophy and was sent to the hospital for examination after he was unconscious. Such a serious result could not have happened, but adults did not know the serious consequences of various additives on children, so this terrible result still happened.

In addition, children in this age group are more lively and naughty. When eating food, we must also pay attention to food safety and hygiene.

As long as children can eat normally, there is no need to worry too much about what to eat and how to eat. Just pay attention to the balance of nutrition.

If the child can't meet the standard, it means that his diet may be small and his appetite may be poor.

In the process of parenting, there are many reasons why children don't like eating. For example, it is the worst and most common way to feed children often, which seriously affects their food intake and digestion and absorption.

The solution is that we can take our children to do more activities and exercise to increase their consumption.

Secondly, don't feed your child all the time, but eat at regular intervals. If your child doesn't come to eat, don't force him to put away the food.

When he is hungry, he can't find anything to eat. Let him know what it's like to be hungry. At the next meal, he will cherish the opportunity to eat, just as the old saying goes, there is no shop after this village, but the average parents can't help it.

There are also some Chinese massage that can regulate children's gastrointestinal and digestive functions.

It depends on what kind of situation your child is. Is it innate or acquired? Is it a bad habit, or is there something wrong with the child's constitution? Or is it caused by our improper parenting methods?

The specific situation should be treated in a specific way. My personal opinion is for reference only. I hope the baby can grow up healthily and happily.

Share my personal experience. My baby is now two years old. When he can eat normally at the age of one, I cook all kinds of pasta every day, which is easy to digest and absorb, and children especially like it. But pay attention, less salt, no seasoning, because seasoning easily affects the baby's absorption of calcium, which in turn affects the baby's growth. Buy Beibei pumpkins from a fruit shop. Choose good varieties, small ones and large ones. You can't finish them all at once. If adults eat them, you can choose large ones, which taste better. Wash them, don't cut them, steam them directly in the pot, and it will take about half an hour. Take a look at them with a spoon. When they are cooked, they will be fine. Children like them very much. They are very sweet and waxy. The same ingredients are made in different patterns.

The child is two and a half years old, and many foods can be eaten. Rice, steamed buns and noodles can be eaten with adults. It is necessary to cultivate children's habit of eating at the table from an early age. It is good for the family to eat together, and it is also good for children to develop their habits. As for how much to eat, each child has a different appetite. When my son is two and a half years old, he can eat five or six dumplings, half a bowl of noodles, a third of steamed bread with some vegetables, or half a bowl of porridge with a green vegetable fried egg, so that he can eat it himself first, and adults can pay attention to it. If he eats very little because it is not delicious, he can make another one for him.

2-and-a-half-year-old baby's swallowing ability has become stronger and stronger, so if he can eat a lot of food, it is necessary to give the child more food containing protein and high-quality protein, such as milk, meat and beans, etc., another one should eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement nutrients, and the other one should pay attention to ensuring adequate sleep quality for the child. Babies over two years old can eat more food, so it is recommended to eat an egg at breakfast. Or drink some milk, eat some light vegetables, and drink a bowl of porridge, all of which are ok, because the eating habits of each place are different, and it is better to focus on the local eating habits, and all kinds of foods are good for growing taller and increasing intelligence.

My children are twins, boys, two and a half years old.

They get up at 8: 30 every morning, drink 240ml of milk after getting up, and then play freely for an hour. After that, each person eats two pieces of bread, or sometimes pancakes, and then steamed eggs and fruits. That's basically all for breakfast. Lunch, rice, vegetarian dishes, sometimes soup noodles, or small chaos; That's all for lunch. Eat steamed vegetable soup for dinner. The soup is mainly noodle soup, millet pumpkin and rice yam soup. Don't eat anything before going to bed at night. Drink calcium before going to bed (try not to drink milk as much as possible).

In your case, your child's spleen and stomach may be weak, and millet, yam and pumpkin are all good. Eat three meals a day, eat less snacks, watch TV for a moderate time and do more activities.

I hope it works for you!

The composition of three meals a day should conform to the dietary pyramid structure. The bottom of the pyramid is ordinary food, whole grains, rice, cereal, sweet potato, etc., from which part of the children's heat energy comes. The second layer is vegetables and fruits, each accounting for half, which are the main sources of vitamins and cellulose needed by children. The third layer is all kinds of meat, such as fish, meat, eggs, milk, etc. Children's protein comes from this kind of food breakfast: choose foods with high calorie and small volume, such as milk, eggs, floss, soybean milk, jam, butter, sesame sauce, bread, etc. These foods are higher in calories and smaller in size than steamed bread, porridge and pickles.

Lunch: Lunch has a large proportion of calories, and the supply of sugar, protein and fat is more. Diet should be diversified every day, pay attention to color, fragrance and taste, and make children have a strong appetite. The main and non-staple foods and coarse and fine grains should be well blended to make the nutritional components more comprehensive.

Dinner: Dinner should not be too full, just 70% to 80% full. We should eat more rice flour food rich in starch, eat less food rich in protein and fat, and eat more low-calorie and high-fiber foods such as vegetables and fruits.

How to make the baby eat well, and make the baby easy to absorb and digest, and grow up well? The baby's gastrointestinal function is relatively weak compared with that of adults. Although the baby is two and a half years old, it can eat the meals of adults, but the meals of adults are not suitable for the baby's gastrointestinal digestion. A little carelessness will make the baby accumulate food, constipation, indigestion, and even lose the baby's spleen and stomach. Mom and Dad must pay attention.

Babies can eat some adult meals, but these meals need less oil, less salt and less seasoning. It is best to make some lean vegetable porridge, soft noodles, vegetable mashed potatoes and the like.

Never give your baby salty and spicy food. These heavy-flavored foods are easy to make your baby get angry, and accidentally accumulate food and cause colds and gastroenteritis.

2. The baby's meals should be diversified.

Although the baby is small, he knows what is delicious and what is not. Parents try to make more kinds of vegetables for each meal for their babies, with less amount of each, but more varieties. In this way, the baby can eat many different foods and absorb more comprehensive nutrition.

Don't eat the same food every day, so in the long run, the baby will lose interest in eating and even become unwilling to eat.

3. Make some cute meals suitable for babies.

Sometimes a little change in a meal can attract the baby's interest. For example, add some black sesame seeds or corn kernels to white rice, put ordinary meals into your baby's favorite cartoon bowl, and add some vegetable juice to the steamed bread you usually eat to change the color. When your baby finds the food interesting, he will naturally like eating more.

4. Drink more milk.

The baby still needs to drink more milk. Milk is rich in nutrients and various trace elements to ensure the normal development of the baby. Moreover, milk is easily absorbed by the baby. Therefore, it is good for the baby to drink milk properly every day.

5. Appropriate meals between three meals a day.

The baby is characterized by eating less and being hungry quickly. Give the baby some steamed bread, biscuits, milk, yogurt, fruits and dried fruits between meals every day.

It should be noted that try not to give your baby too many snacks and sweets. These foods are not only not good for the body, but also harmful to the baby's health.
