Children around 1 or 2 years old should have three main meals a day, supplemented by breast milk or milk powder in the morning and evening.

There are many things that can be fed, including mixed foods based on grain, milk, vegetables, fish, meat, eggs, and tofu. These foods are essential to meet the growth and development of children.

Appropriate feeding of noodles, rice porridge, steamed buns, biscuits, etc. to increase calories.

Frequently feed your baby a variety of vegetables, fruits, and seafood to provide enough vitamins and inorganic salts to meet metabolic needs and achieve nutritional balance.

Eat some animal blood and liver regularly to ensure the supply of iron.

The cooking methods should be diverse, pay attention to the color, aroma, taste and shape, and should be fine, soft and broken. It is not suitable to fry, stir-fry or burst to facilitate digestion.

When arranging baby food, attention should be paid to the reasonable combination of various nutrients to ensure the needs of the child's growth and development.

The first breakfast of milk powder is around 6 o'clock in the morning

The second breakfast of complementary food is around 8 o'clock in the morning

The third lunch of complementary food is around 12 noon

The fourth lunch meal of milk powder is at 2 or 3 p.m.

The fifth dinner of complementary food is around 6 p.m.

The sixth night snack of milk powder is at 10 p.m. Left and right

In short, there are three complementary foods in the morning, noon and evening, mainly porridge, rotten rice and soft noodles, with milk powder as snack. Add egg custard, minced meat, vegetables, etc. appropriately. Give your child more fresh fruits, but peel and core them before eating.

Preparation of meals for young children:

1. Three fresh egg custards

Crack 1 to 2 eggs into a bowl, add a little salt and cold water and beat well. Put it into the pot and steam until cooked, then cut a few fresh shrimps and fried minced meat and vegetables into the eggs and mix well, then continue to steam for 5 to 8 minutes, and then it is ready to eat after stopping the fire.

2. Mixed vegetable paste

Wash the potatoes and carrots, steam them in a pot, peel them and mash them into puree. Peel the tomatoes in boiling water, cut into pieces, stir-fry in a pot, add a little salt and stir-fry with potato and carrot mashed, liver mashed and cooked minced meat before eating.

3. Fruit soup

Wash the apples, lilies, yams, pears, and lotus seeds, peel and core them, cut them into small pieces, add agar, put them on the fire and add water to cook. Remove from heat and add sugar before eating. If agar is not available, lotus root starch can be substituted.

4. Pimple soup

Put 1/4 egg and a small amount of water into a tablespoon of flour, stir it into small lumps with chopsticks, add two pieces each of chopped carrots and cabbage. Put a small spoon into the broth and cook until soft, then add the gnocchi bit by bit into the broth and cook.

5. Steamed fish cakes

Peel the skin, bones and spines from 1/2 fish, then grind it into pieces; mix it evenly with the tofu paste and make small cakes, and put them in the steamer Steam inside, boil the fish soup, add a little salt, and finally put the steamed fish cakes into the fish soup and cook.

The characteristic of steamed fish cakes is that they can keep the nutrients in the fish from being destroyed.

6. Shrimp and tofu

Cook 2 shrimps, a small piece of tofu, 2 or 3 young pea shoots, chop them into pieces, put them in the pot, and add the chopped ones Boil raw shiitake mushrooms with seafood soup. When cooked, add a thin layer of gravy.

Another thing I want to say is that even after weaning, it is recommended to use special infant formula rather than drinking milk directly. Because milk is originally a feeding product for calves, it is not entirely suitable as a staple food for babies. Although the protein content of milk is higher than breast milk, 4/5 is casein. Among them, there are fewer essential amino acids, and the clots formed are larger and difficult to digest. Milk contains few unsaturated fatty acids, large fat globules, and lacks lipolytic enzymes, which is not conducive to digestion and absorption. Its lactose content is lower than breast milk, and it is mainly type A lactose, so sugar must be added to increase calories. The total amount of calcium and phosphorus contained in milk is higher than that of breast milk, but the improper proportion of calcium and phosphorus is not conducive to absorption.
