Menu of one-year-old children. What parents need to know

Up to one year, the baby's diet is limited enough: breast milk, lure, porridge, soup, fruit and vegetable puree. The one-year-old children's menu is much wider. Of course, delicious dishes with seasonings and mayonnaise should not be given, but useful substances and necessary vitamins and trace elements are necessary.

Milk

If the baby is still taking a breast, then it's good. It is the breast milk in the one-year-old children's menu that is most needed, it contains all the useful substances. However, one is not enough, we need its derivatives (cottage cheese, kefir). The total number of dairy products should be already 1000-1100 g.

Soup

The menu of one-year-olds must include nutritious soups with potatoes, carrots, beets, squash, pumpkin, cabbage, cauliflower, dill and spinach. Now it is not necessary to grind everything in puree, it is good enough to boil, so that the baby learns to chew on his own.

Meat

Now it is necessary to supplement and expand the diet of a one-year-old child. The menu should include meat dishes from chicken, low-fat veal, beef. Puree can be replaced with cutlets, meatballs, casseroles in combination with vegetables. Meat supplies the small organism with a protein that is necessary for the growth of muscle mass. But everything is good in moderation, you need to start with small portions.

A fish

The children's menu for a one-year-old child should contain fish dishes. They include phosphorus and iodine (sea fish). At first it can be cod, pollock, then the assortment needs to be expanded. The fish is given in a boiled form: boiled, then all the bones are removed, minced and cooked in the form of meatballs. At this age, 50-70 g of this product per week will be enough.

Kashi

The menu of one-year-old children should contain and porridge on milk, especially oatmeal and buckwheat. It is better to serve them for breakfast with the addition of a small amount of butter - no more than 6-8 grams per day.

Mashed salad

Fruit and vegetable salads vary the diet of the child. They should be administered cautiously during the main meal, not on an empty stomach. Each new fruit (vegetable) - three days after the previous one. So you can accurately identify the allergen and exclude it until a later age.

Vegetable oil

Vegetable olive oil in the amount of a few drops first to 1 teaspoon later must be present in the baby's diet daily. It can be added to vegetable purée or soup.

Eggs

The yolk begins to be given according to grains, gradually increasing the portion size to half. In a year and a half neatly injected protein in the form of an omelette from 1 egg and water. Yolk (omelet) the child should eat once every three days. If there is an allergy to chicken eggs, you can use quail, but it is better to consult a pediatrician. Remember: a raw egg can be dangerous not only to children, but also to adults.

Sugar and salt

The sweetest thing that can be offered to children at the age of one year is fruits and special baby biscuits. No sugar, especially sweets.

Salt contains sodium, which is necessary for the body for water-salt metabolism. Therefore, soup, mashed potatoes, mince can be salted (at the tip of the knife).
