Let's consider these questions in more detail.
Rules for feeding a child under two years old
At this time, the kid does not yet know how to choose his own food and your main task is to help him in this:
- do not forbid the baby to take food with his hands. Thanks to this, he learns something new, explores the world and is interested in it;
- not in any way not to rush it, let him determine the speed with which he is ready to eat. He will let you know that you need supplements( he will follow the spoon and open the mouth, when it all blows over);
- do not ask the baby to eat everything that is lying on his plates. He will eat as much as he needs;
- if you see that the child is playing something and is very keen on it, then do not drag it hard to the table, but just stand in a kindly calm voice saying "go eat" and wait until he finishes the game.
The main products that contain many calories and nutrients that are useful for crumbs:
- Avocado
- Nut oil
- Cheese
- Eggs
- Fish
- Turkey
- Whole grains pasta.
You need to consider the calorie content and nutritional value of the product that you are going to feed your baby. For example, fruits, juices, sweets. Such food is very important to children after a year, becauseduring this period they are more active and eat very little. A child who is accustomed to eating little by little, it is better for him to give more food rich in calories and nutrients.
That the child was easier to eat, and he did it with great desire and pleasure. You need to grind food( using a blender, grater, etc.).
Cooking liquid food. You can mix sour cream with fruit. Do not put a lot of food on the plate, if he eats and wants more, you can add. The menu should be as varied as possible.
The child does not know what is breakfast, lunch or dinner. There are times for him to eat. First of all, observe which of the foods you gave him, most of all to taste, and which is not. Children between the main feedings can be given yogurt, boiled eggs, juice, miscellaneous biscuits, etc. At its discretion, you can say.
Very useful for children at this age, milk at least 500 ml per day, cream, cottage cheese. From meat it is possible to advise chicken meat, beef, pork and it is possible a rabbit meat, and certainly here not to do without a fish. For the baby it is also necessary that the food is butter and vegetable oil. Oatmeal and buckwheat are useful from cereals.they contain a lot of carbohydrates. Sugar, but not more than 50 grams per day. And among the sweet prefer: marmalade, fruit jam, pastille. Chocolate and sweets are best replaced with fruits and berries. You can also give any vegetables to your baby. For example, such as: sorrel, onion, spinach, radish, potatoes and tp.
Children who for more than 1.5 years can eat small pieces of vegetables, boiled porridge, pieces of meat. And after two years in the diet can include cutlets, salads, fish only boneless.
By the end of the first year of life, the baby should eat more diverse food. So that it does not become surprising for such food, it is introduced gradually into the diet of the child. Complicating the menu, the liquid is replaced with more dense dishes, which are required to chew. Toddlers can afford this kind of food, even if they only have incisors.
Expanding the diet of your baby does not mean that moms should stop breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is very useful at this age. Twice a day in the morning and closer to bed. Particularly important is the evening feeding of breast milk, it prevents the appearance of caries.
And if the child is on artificial feeding, it is worth refraining from feeding in the evening or at night with juice or a mixture, they cause the risk of caries.
Nutrition for children at this age can be divided into breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. It is important to observe breaks between meals. If this simple rule is not observed, the child does not develop a food reflex, which is so important for the baby. Over time, this will affect his health. And if the child is capricious and does not want to eat, well, he does not just have his appetite, then we must try not to spoil it with different juices, fruits during breaks between meals.
