The basis of the child's menu at 1 year old

The main menu is still milk and dairy products. The baby can still latch on to the breast and, in addition, receive yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, cheese, kefir, and cow's milk. It is best if dairy products are specialized for children, they contain less harmful fats and preservatives.

During the day, the child should eat about 1000-1200 grams. food products. Thus, at breakfast, he will eat about 260 grams, at lunch - 360, at afternoon tea - 220, at dinner - 360 grams.

Protein food is a must for a little one, so meat should be included in the menu. Veal, lean beef, and chicken are best used. Meat should be cooked or stewed long enough to be safe and tender. Pates, mashed soups are made from boiled meat, casseroles, meatballs, cutlets - from minced meat. Meat dishes are usually included in the lunch menu.

The most useful are buckwheat and oatmeal., but in order to diversify the table, it is best to alternate them with barley, semolina and pearl barley. Porridge is boiled in milk and served for a little gourmet for breakfast. Be sure to put butter in it. It should be a little, during the day the child can eat about 12 grams. Happy tooth owners can be offered a sandwich made of white soft bread with butter for breakfast.

Sunflower oils are an irreplaceable source of vitamins- must also be present in the diet. A little sunflower oil or corn oil can be added to so-called "salads" for babies, which are mashed vegetables. The daily intake of vegetable oil is approximately one incomplete teaspoon.

Salads are best for lunch... They can consist of both fresh and boiled vegetables, herbs, fruits and berries. Unfamiliar nutritional components should be introduced gradually: no more than one per day. This will help the child's digestive system work better and, in the event of an allergic reaction, narrow down the choice of reagent.

Vegetable salads a one-year-old child can be cooked from boiled potatoes, carrots (raw and boiled), cabbage, boiled beets, zucchini (stewed), pumpkin and tomatoes. Boiled egg yolk can be added to them.

Fruit salads, consisting of grated fruits on a fine grater, are prepared from apples, pears, bananas. In them, as well as in cereals, you can put fresh berries: raspberries, black currants, sea buckthorn, lingonberries and cranberries. Fruits and berries are great food for an afternoon snack.

It is advisable to add fish to the child's food... Low-fat varieties are suitable, for example, pollock, cod, and rasp. Cooked fillets with carefully removed bones are chopped and made into cutlets, soufflés or mixed with vegetables. A child is allowed up to 80 grams of fish per week. It, like meat, is best included in the lunch menu.

At this age, the mother has a great chance to accustom the baby to the use of the first courses. Puree soups, mashed borsch for babies are prepared in vegetable or secondary meat broth. It's easy to prepare. The broth, in which the meat has been boiled for 10-15 minutes, is drained (it can be used for "adult" dishes), the meat is poured with clean water and boiled again. Soup with such broth will be lean and safe for the child's body.

As a dessert fruit candy, marmalade, dry biscuits, biscuits may be present on the child's table.

A healthy, strong baby is the best reward for a mother. By arranging proper nutrition for him, parents make a great contribution to his health.

The child is offered no more than 100 g of fruit puree and no more than 100 ml of juice per day.

Before bedtime.
If you continue to breastfeed your baby, then in this case, breast milk. Or a fermented milk drink (children's kefirchik).

At this age, the baby's diet should not include: cakes, pastries, chocolates, no matter how you would like to pamper your baby. This does not mean that you can pamper your child, choose from sweets: marshmallow, jams, marmalade, preserves (if they are on fructose).

Important to remember.

There is a basic rule that a child's food from one to one and a half years should be four to five times a day, with intervals between feedings of 4 hours. Observe a fairly strict diet, the baby should develop a conditioned reflex. The amount of food should be 1000 - 1200 ml, excluding liquid, per day. These recommendations should be followed up to one and a half years.

Mom, follow the rules for introducing new products, keep your products clean and fresh. also keep an eye on the cleanliness of your hands and arms of the baby, as well as the cleanliness of the baby's dishes, in order to avoid intestinal infection.

After a year

Unfortunately, many mothers stop taking responsibility for their baby's nutrition as soon as she turns one year old. At one year old, the child is traditionally transferred to a common table. But in vain. Nutrition must remain specialized.

The gradual development of the chewing apparatus requires the introduction of solid food of varying degrees of grinding into the diet of a child over 1 year old. Still has a big role to play milk and dairy products, which should be included in the child's daily diet (milk in any form up to 500-600 ml, cottage cheese on average 50 g, cream or sour cream 5 g). Cottage cheese, cream, sour cream can be given in 1-2 days, but in the appropriate amount.

From meat products children over one year old are recommended along with beef meat of chickens, chicken, rabbit, lean pork and lamb, various offal. The number of fish is increasing. On average, a child from 1 to 3 years old needs 85 g of meat and 25 g of fish per day. Within a week, he can receive 4-5 days of meat (100-120 g) and 2-3 days of fish (70-100 g).

A child older than a year can be given whole egg(every other day, or half a day), and not just the yolk. However, this must be done with caution, since in some children, the protein of a chicken egg can cause an allergic reaction. In such cases, protein should be discarded and only the yolk should be given for a while.

From fatty foods We advise you to give 12-17 g of butter (for a sandwich, in ready-made meals) and up to 8-10 g of vegetable oil (for dressing salads, vinaigrettes, various vegetable dishes), but not margarine and refractory edible fats (beef, lamb).

Among the cereals the most useful are oatmeal and buckwheat, barley, pearl barley, wheat are allowed. You can also use specially fortified cereals. Pasta (noodles, noodles) is not often given, since they are poor in vitamins and contain an excess of carbohydrates. Legumes (peas, beans, soybeans) are given in limited quantities to children over 1.5 years old in the form of pureed soups. On average, a child needs 15-20 g of cereals, 5 g of pasta, about 100 g of bread (including 30-40 g of rye) per day. Bakery products (crackers, bagels, buns) are also suitable with a corresponding decrease in the amount of bread.

The main source of carbohydrates in the diet of a child over one year old is sugar however, its quantity should be strictly limited. "Overdose" of sugar can lead to metabolic disorders, overweight, and sometimes to a deterioration in appetite. A child under 3 years old needs 35 to 50 g of sugar per day. From confectionery products, marshmallows, marmalade, fruit caramel, jam, jam, honey are allowed (with good tolerance).

The total amount of confectionery products should not exceed 10-15 g per day. In baby food, vegetables, fruits and berries are widely used as the main source of minerals and vitamins.

Vegetables A wide variety of foods can be fed, including radishes, radishes, green onions, garlic, and leafy greens (dill, parsley, sorrel, spinach, lettuce, nettle). A child needs about 120-150 g of potatoes and up to 200 g of other vegetables per day. The daily diet should include fresh fruits, berries (up to 200 g) and juices (100-150 ml).

Up to 1.5 years, the child is usually on 5 more meals a day, although some children already at this age refuse the last (night) feeding and switch to 4 meals a day: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.

Between feedings, the baby should not be given any food, especially sweets, as this leads to disturbances in normal digestion and a decrease in appetite. The same applies to fruit juices, which are sometimes offered to the child instead of drinking. In this case, it is better to use fruit drinks, fruit drinks, unsweetened herbal infusions.

Make sure your child gets the amount of food appropriate for his age. So, for a child aged 1 to 1.5 years, it should average 1000-1200 ml, from 1.5 to 3 years - 1400-1500 ml (juices, decoctions and other drinks are not included in this volume).
A decrease in the amount of food can lead to malnutrition, and an excess can lead to a decrease in appetite. It is especially irrational to increase the volume of the first course, which is often done by parents if the child willingly eats soup or broth. However, having eaten a lot of soup, the child can no longer cope with the second course, which, as a rule, is more complete, since it contains meat, vegetables, etc.

Cooking food for young children has its own characteristics, due to the originality of their development. Up to 1.5 years old, the baby still does not have sufficient opportunities to assimilate rough food, so he is fed with mashed potatoes, liquid porridge, etc. But at the same time, the child must be taught to eat denser food. If children receive only semi-liquid and pureed dishes for a long time, their chewing skills do not develop well and subsequently they are very sluggish and reluctant to eat meat, raw vegetables and fruits.

Children over 1.5 years old are given boiled (but no longer mashed) cereals, vegetable and cereal casseroles, stewed vegetables, cut into small pieces, meat and fish cutlets.

After 2 years, meat can be given in the form of fried cutlets, finely chopped stew, fish - boiled and fried, free from bones.

Use fresh vegetables as much as possible in the form of finely chopped salads, and for children under 1.5 years old - grated on a coarse grater. Raw vegetable salads can be served not only for lunch, but also for breakfast and dinner.

To preserve the nutritional value of foods, you must strictly follow the rules of their culinary processing.

Milk can be boiled for no more than 2-3 minutes, avoiding boiling again. When preparing cereals, vegetable purees, casseroles, milk is added to already boiled cereals or vegetables.

After thorough mechanical cleaning, it is better to cook the meat in a large piece, dipping it into hot water. At the same time, proteins coagulate on the surface of the meat and the meat juice does not flow out. Fry meat, cutlets in boiling fat, which also contributes to the formation of a crust that holds the meat juice. The stew is prepared by lightly roasting and then boiling in a little water.

It is very important to handle vegetables properly. When cleaning, cut off as thin a layer as possible, it is in the upper layers that the largest amount of vitamins is contained. For vinaigrette and salads, it is better to cook vegetables in a peel in a little water or steam. Peeled vegetables cannot be left in water for a long time, so that vitamins and minerals are not washed out, but they must be boiled in a small amount of water, then using it for food. The cooking time is strictly limited: potatoes, cabbage, carrots are boiled for no more than 25-30 minutes, beets - 1-1.5 hours, sorrel, spinach - up to 10 minutes.
Vegetables and fruits for raw salads are peeled and cut (rubbed) immediately before eating, since when exposed to air oxygen on refined and chopped foods, vitamins, especially ascorbic acid, are destroyed in them.

The mode and nature of nutrition in the second year of life differ by half.

It is better to feed children up to one and a half years five times a day. If a healthy child refuses the last (fifth) feeding, then he is transferred to a four-time feeding rhythm with an interval of four hours. Whatever the frequency of feeding the baby, the main thing is that it is constantly observed.
The daily amount of food for children from one to one and a half years old should be about 1200 g, that is, 240-250 g per intake with five meals a day.

It is harmful to use a pacifier at this age. It subsequently leads to difficulty in chewing food and refusal of any food except liquid. Receiving mashed potatoes from a spoon, the baby instinctively makes chewing movements before swallowing it, and thereby prepares to receive dense food lumps.

Dairy products play a major role in the nutrition of the child. At this age, he is entitled to 700 ml of milk per day, taking into account the amount that is used to prepare various dishes.
Cottage cheese is an indispensable component of the diet, it can be included in any of the meals. You can make pudding out of it, add fruit.
Cheese is given in grated form. It can be used for sandwiches mixed with butter or added to pasta.

Eggs give children only chicken: either hard-boiled or added to various dishes. Until the age of one and a half, it is recommended to give only steeply boiled yolk, adding it to vegetable purees. After a year and a half, you can offer omelets, both in natural form and with various additives, mainly vegetable (potatoes, green peas, carrots, cauliflower).

The daily norm of meat for children under three years old is 85 g. Lean meats (beef, veal, pork) and poultry are used.
Meat dishesit is advisable to give in the first half of the day, since they take longer to digest, and eaten in the evening unnecessarily excite the nervous system, making it difficult to fall asleep.
For children, they cook broth for the first courses or prepare soufflés, meatballs, meatballs or steam cutlets from minced meat. The liver is very useful for the child, it is better to give it in the form of a paste. It is good to add mild sauce to meat dishes (fried flour, diluted with broth and seasoned with cream or sour cream). A side dish is better than a vegetable one.

One or two times a week, instead of meat, you need to give your childfish, giving preference to fish fillets or varieties without small bones.
But you must remember that river (lake) fish with impaired metabolism (exudative diathesis) can cause an exacerbation of the disease in some children. The most easily digestible is cod.
Fish for children up to one and a half years old is cooked in the form of meatballs or steamed, be sure to wipe it.

It is advisable to give vegetable oil mostly raw, adding to vegetable puree and grated vegetable dishes.
From animal cheeses in a small amount 1-2 times a week, you can give lard (interior lard). Pork (backbone) lard, beef and lamb fats are not recommended due to the difficulty of their assimilation.

Vegetable pureesit is better to cook combined, the composition of mashed potatoes can be changed, taking into account the taste of the child.
It is not recommended to get carried away with mashed potatoes because of the large amount of starch that makes it difficult to digest. The daily rate of potatoes is 150 g.
Of the vegetables, white cabbage, carrots, beets, zucchini, pumpkin, green peas, cauliflower, turnips, and onions are used.

It is useful and convenient to use special canned vegetables for children. Their only drawback is that, regardless of the composition, they cause some monotony of taste. This can lead to the fact that the child does not want to try new types of canned food. Therefore, it is better to alternate homemade dishes with those purchased in the store.

Porridge- a very satisfying baby food dish. It should not be given more than once a day.Now cereals are given a more modest place in baby food, since a number of cereals (oats, wheat), from which cereals are prepared, contain phytic acid, which impairs the absorption of calcium from food, which disrupts the normal ossification of the skeleton.

For a child of the second year of life, porridge is boiled with a semi-viscous. Porridges that require a long cooking time are first boiled in water, and then milk is added.
You can combine porridge with vegetables, fruits, meat. Puddings can be made from porridge in the oven.
Pasta is used thin and small, cooked with milk, seasoned with butter and cheese.

It is advisable that the first and last feedings consist of vegetable or fruit purees, various cereals, cottage cheese or egg dishes. It is better to drink them with kefir or milk.
Honey should be given to children very carefully.

Dinnerit is better to start with an appetizer in the form of a variety of salads - from grated carrots, peeled cucumbers, tomatoes, white cabbage, green salad, pumpkin. It is advisable to add finely chopped dill, parsley, onion, celery to salads - as early as possible to develop a child's taste for green vegetables.

A child's menu at 1 year old should include multi-component dishes, since the body is already able to digest and assimilate more complex dishes. This will be facilitated by the development of teeth, and by the year, on average, 8 of them have erupted! Also, the development of the enzyme system of the digestive tract allows both children and their mothers to switch to a more adult menu. However, one should not forget about the variety in products, as well as in the way and form of serving food. The dishes that babies eat at the same year should be tasty, healthy and interesting, encouraging them to show interest in new products.

You can start introducing complementary foods from 5-6 months, the child will be happy to get acquainted with new products, and by the year his food is already quite diverse. The diet of a one-year-old child differs from that of an adult in the way of cooking and in a certain set of permitted products. What can you feed a one-year-old child, and how to make a menu for a week, every day, we will talk in this article.

Optimal menu

Undoubtedly, the diet of a one-year-old child includes the same foods that he ate before 1 year. The kids' menu includes cereals, vegetables and fruits, cottage cheese and kefir, meat and fish. The nutrition of a child from 1 year old will now combine the above products; several combinations of ready-made meals should be included in the approximate menu for the day for your toddler - the child's diet is now significantly expanding.

Breast milk and formula are also present in the baby's diet after a year. However, they are gradually being replaced by other full meals - breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.
Serving volumes increase by the year, and the consistency of food is gradually approaching the "adult" version.
After a year, the child is actively growing, his chewing muscles are also actively developing, and this should be facilitated by preparing food of a larger consistency, ground purees should be excluded from the diet of a one-year-old child.
After 1 year, you can safely introduce meat into the diet of a toddler: rabbit, young beef, lean pork, chicken. It is necessary to pay attention both to the quality of the meat itself and its freshness, and to the supplier.
For a 1-year-old baby who eats mother's milk, it is very important to maintain attachment to the breast, but there are much fewer of them, it is also necessary to offer fermented milk products - baby kefir, curd.
Soups in the child's menu are not fried, and the first meat broth must be drained after boiling.
The child's diet consists mainly of boiled, baked and stewed foods, with a low sugar content and a low salt content.

List of products required in 1 year

The calorie content of the daily diet of the toddler should be at least 1300 kcal. The child's menu at 1.5 years old remains the same. However, one should take into account the mobility and activity of the child: some require fewer calories, other toddlers require supplements. Nevertheless, the following products must be present in the menu for a one-year-old child:

milk - 400 ml. (including mom's);
fermented milk products - up to 200 g, of which 50 g of cottage cheese and 150 g of kefir;
porridge - 200 g;
meat - 60 g.;
fish - 60 g.;
bread - 10 g;
baby cookies - 15 g;
fruit - 110 g;
vegetables - 200 g;
fruit juice - 100 g;
liver - 20 g;
egg - 20 g.

An approximate child's menu is made from these products. When choosing vegetables and fruits, seasonality should be especially taken into account. As the famous doctor Komarovsky says, it is better to offer the child fruits and vegetables according to the season. There are more vitamins in them and there are also more benefits for the growing body.

The daily menu for a one-year-old baby does not need to fit all of the above products at the same time. Fish, liver, eggs are given twice a week.

Menu ration

The frequency of feeding a baby 1 year -1.5 years - 6 times a day, early morning breastfeeding or a mixture is preserved, kefir can already be offered before bedtime. The main meals in the menu of a one-year-old child for every day are breakfast, second breakfast (lunch), lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Don't forget about the second dinner. A well-fed child sleeps better at night. Next, consider the menu for a 1-year-old child.

Breakfast

Depending on what time your baby wakes up, and whether you put it to your chest upon waking, breakfast is planned. Gradually, when the first breastfeeding or a bottle of formula is replaced with a full breakfast, it can be porridge, diluted with cow's milk, or goat. You can also use a mixture to make porridge if the child has an intolerance to milk protein, lactose.

We include cereals: buckwheat and rice (have the least allergenicity), oatmeal, corn, millet. We cook porridge in a proportion of 200 g of liquid (milk, water) and 2 tbsp. l. cereals. We boil for 15 minutes. Semolina is less useful, because in addition to refined gluten, to which some children are allergic, there is very little useful in it.

We decorate the cups with pieces of fruit, or rub them on a grater for a variety of tastes.

Twice a week, you can give a one-year-old child an omelet of 1 egg (chicken or 2 quail) steamed, with the addition of milk. You can try adding fresh dill to the omelet for beauty and good tummy work. It should be noted that by adding fresh herbs to food, we increase the vitamin content of food, and also have a beneficial effect on the digestion process.

For porridge, you can offer weak tea or compote from fruits, dried fruits. Bread should also be offered at breakfast. We only take into account the freshness and quality of the bread. Rye and refined white should not be given. One and the other will cause bloating and gas in your baby. Let it be yesterday's bread, not a loaf, but plain white bread.

Second breakfast (lunch)

The second feeding after breakfast cannot be neglected! Your active child will be asking for food, and fruit yogurt or fruit puree is very good at this meal. It is the fruit that will stimulate the digestive tract to eat at lunchtime, increase the content of gastric juice and simply increase the appetite, with which many children have problems.

A baked apple is very useful. You just need to monitor an allergic reaction to red apples, and it is better to buy yellow and green ones.

You can add cookies to lunch. But not crackers, but diet biscuits like Maria. Or any childish, non-fatty low-fat cookies.

Often the second breakfast is included during the walk. There are two ways out: either take a jar of food with you, which is not always convenient, or use purchased fruit and yoghurt-fruit purees, packed in a special way in a sealed package, which is especially important on any trips. With this option, both the hands are clean, and the child is interested in trying a new way of feeding. And besides, it's so fun and delicious to eat outside!

Dinner

The time has come for you to return from your walk and it is time for lunch. You can feed a one-year-old baby during the day both with soup and with a combination of the first and second courses.

In the experience of many mothers, there are recommendations for making a thicker and more satisfying soup for lunch. The recipe for the soup will be based on your imagination and your child's good tolerance to all colored vegetables. But if we cook soup in meat broth, then, naturally, the first broth is drained, and the second is filled with meat and vegetables, cut into small cubes, which are cooked together until cooked.

When cooking vegetable soup, at the end of cooking you need to add a tablespoon of vegetable oil - this can be both olive oil and good quality sunflower oil. However, it should be noted that broth on bones cannot be cooked by a child at 1 year old. This leads to increased secretion of the stomach and pancreas.

The second course is unsweetened porridge without milk and vegetable purees, in relation to meat or fish dishes, do not forget about the liver (beef, chicken). Undoubtedly, there are no roasts, spices and a lot of salt in the children's menu.

In summer, it is allowed to give your child a vegetable salad for lunch. If you serve it, beautifully decorated in the form of a child's character, then such salads will not only improve the child's digestion, but also his mood for feeding. You just need to try to introduce a new dish slowly, adding one new vegetable to the diet of a one-year-old baby and observing the body's reaction to a new product throughout the day.

Afternoon snack

An afternoon snack for a baby at one year gradually replaces feeding with breast milk or a mixture for other dairy products - milk porridge, cottage cheese with fruits, cheese cakes or curd casserole. You can also offer your child a compote, cookies with milk.

Whole cow's milk is introduced into the diet very carefully. The reaction of children to it is individual, and if everything is normal with tolerance, then milk is first diluted with water, in its pure form it can cause colic in the tummy.

Dinner

Having come from an evening walk, (after 5 hours after lunch) dinner is planned. Observing the mode of feeding and waking a child at 1 year old, it should be borne in mind that dinner is not too late. A sample menu for a child for dinner most often coincides with the second lunch course.

For dinner for the baby, you can cook vegetable stew, porridge (without milk) with meatballs or already pieces of meat or fish. Remember to add a drop of vegetable oil to the vegetable stew if it has been boiled. So we will relieve the child of constipation, and his intestines will work like a clock!

Second supper

When breastfeeding, before bedtime, you should offer the baby mother's milk. When artificial, it will be a mixture, and even better a fermented milk mixture or simple children's kefir. For a sick baby, the number of meals can be increased by 1. Eating before bed should be light, but habitual.

If your child often wakes you up at night, asks for food, then it is high time to wean him from night feedings, offering him or milk or water from a bottle, as the digestive system grows and rebuilds in an "adult way", which in the future will become the key to successful his work and the health of your baby.

Daily menu - table

The diet of a 1-year-old child is already quite varied. Below is a table with an approximate menu for a one-year-old child for a week, the recipes for which are quite simple to prepare. With the help of our recommendations, you can compose a convenient option for yourself for your baby.

It is very important to follow the diet. Subject to this simple rule, the child will be happy to eat your food, since the body itself at a certain time will require it.
For a one-year-old child, the ritual of eating is very important. Let cutlery, napkins, bread be beautifully laid out on the table. Let your baby help you with these items. Sit down to eat with him if he can eat at least something himself.
Place toys next to your little one and they will also take part in the meal.
Do not exclude a product you do not like from your diet, just imperceptibly mix it into other dishes, so you will not deprive it of the nutrients it needs.
Your 1 year old baby can show you that he is not hungry by refusing to eat. Do not panic, you can either shift the feeding regime when the baby is really hungry. Or, reduce the serving size for the child. Or remove one of the feedings.
It is worth considering that when feeding, for example, with lunch, you need to serve dishes one at a time, so that at the end of the first dish the little one sees the second, but not earlier, otherwise busting cannot be avoided.
Snacks with bread and cookies do not bode well. Loss of appetite and diet is a real headache for parents. Therefore, do not let anyone close to you feed your baby between feedings.

Most importantly, keep your drinking regimen available. The importance of this point is emphasized by Dr. Komarovsky in his interviews. Children may not say they are thirsty, simply forgetting, playing, and then getting drunk before eating, skipping lunch. Offer water constantly between feedings. But even while eating, you can give your child a little drink of water or compote.

A growing child within a year already becomes a full-fledged participant in the parent's meal, and the child's nutrition after 1 year should not frighten mothers with different menus, recipes and products. After all, this time is so fleeting, and our help for a kid who is preparing to step into adulthood is priceless.

Take care of your children! Feed them tasty, healthy and varied foods. And soon you will remember this transitional period of your child's growing up with special trepidation!

A significant proportion of the diet of a one-year-old baby is still milk and chopped food, despite the fact that it is already allowed to gradually switch to solid food. Prepare milk porridge, give the baby milk as a drink. Include fermented milk products (yogurt, fermented baked milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir) every day. Soups can be cooked using recycled broth. In general, the baby should eat four times a day with a break of 4 hours, and the total amount of food, excluding drinks, should be approximately 1000-1200 ml. The total ratio of the percentage of consumed products per day should look like this: breakfast - 25%, lunch - 35%, afternoon tea - 15%, dinner - 25%.

What can not be fed to a baby at 1 year old

A one-year-old baby's menu should not contain a lot of solid food.
Sweets are undesirable for such a baby, otherwise the development of caries and skin allergic reactions is inevitable.
Salt food so that it seems unsalted to you. Taste the food before giving it to your baby.
Sausage, sausages, wieners, even if the manufacturer presents them as children, should not be included in the menu. They often contain unhealthy food additives and a lot of salt.
Also, you do not need to give your child mushrooms, citrus fruits, chocolate, nuts, caviar, canned food and semi-finished products.

How to feed a one-year-old child, menu

The already mentioned cereals and dairy products make up the main diet.

When introducing solid foods into food, do not grind them too finely. This will develop the chewing apparatus of the crumbs. For example, you can give him apple slices without the peel or allow him to nibble on carrots cut into 2–3 cm slices.

A one-year-old baby's menu must be rich in vitamins. Rosehip juice, children's fruit juices, as well as jelly, homemade compotes and water are the main drinks. Gradually, weak tea can be introduced into the diet. In general, taking into account liquid dairy products and soups, the daily volume of liquid should not exceed a liter.

Wheat and rye bread, cookies, cheese, butter - all this must be included in the diet of a one-year-old child. At the same time, try to make sure that all recipes for a one-year-old baby are varied and balanced. For example, if your kid ate whole-grain porridge for breakfast today, prepare him, say, milk noodles with cheese for tomorrow's breakfast.

One-year-old baby's menu for a day

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with an example of a daily diet for a one-year-old child. You can change it as you like. The main thing is to remember what you can and cannot feed your baby at 1 year old, and try to make him eat a variety of foods. Its development directly depends on this.

Afternoon snack: steamed cottage cheese dumplings, children's kefirchik, cookies.

Dinner: broccoli puree with boiled chicken fillet, pumpkin porridge, compote.

do not give your baby snacks. He must eat according to his personal regimen at the same time.
feed your baby only fresh food and meals. Don't leave food for tomorrow.
keep track of the expiration date of the products.
after eating, give your baby warm boiled water to rinse food debris from the teeth.

May your little one eat well and grow healthy and happy!

The child's body grows, its functions improve, the cognitive and physical activity of the baby increases, the need for energy increases. All these reasons affect the child's diet, which is already significantly different from the nutrition of children of the first year of life.

What happens to a child's body from a year to a year and a half?

At this age, children continue to develop a chewing apparatus, a sufficient number of teeth appear - by 1.5 years, babies should already have 12 teeth. The activity of digestive juices and enzymes also increases, but their functions still do not reach full maturity. The volume of the stomach increases - from 200 to 300 ml. Emptying of the stomach occurs on average after 4 hours, which allows you to eat 4-5 times a day.

The daily volume of food (excluding the liquid drunk) for babies from one year to one and a half years is 1200-1250 ml. This volume (including calorie content) is distributed among feedings in approximately the following ratio: breakfast - 25%, lunch - 35%, afternoon tea - 15%, dinner - 25%. The volume of a single meal can be 250 ml, taking into account 5 meals a day, and 300 ml with 4 meals a day.

How to feed a child from a year old?

For children 1-1.5 years of age, dishes with a mushy consistency are preferred. If a child's chewing teeth (milk molars) have erupted by this age, he can be offered whole pieces of food no more than 2-3 cm in size. The child develops a taste perception, an attitude towards food, first addictions and habits begin to form. The baby begins to develop a conditioned food reflex at the time of eating, which ensures a sufficient, rhythmic secretion of digestive juices and good assimilation of food. That is why it is important to observe the diet, expand the food ration by introducing new products and dishes.

The cognitive and physical activity of the child increases, and with it the energy consumption of the body increases. The physiological need for energy in the age group from 1 to 1.5 years is on average 102 kcal per 1 kg of body weight. With an average body weight of 11 kg, it is 1100 kcal per day.

The main requirements for a child's diet after a year are - variety and balance in basic nutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins). Combinations of dishes from vegetables, cottage cheese, cheese, milk, meat of animals and poultry, eggs, cereals and flour products are required.

The basis of the diet of a baby from 1 to 1.5 years- these are products with a high content of animal protein: milk, dairy and fermented milk products, meat, poultry, eggs. The child should receive meals from these products, as well as from vegetables, fruits and cereals every day.

Dairy products for children from a year

In the nutrition of a baby over the age of 1 year, a large role belongs to milk, dairy and fermented milk products. They contain easily digestible proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Fermented milk products contain lactic acid bacteria, which regulate the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, have a positive effect on the intestinal microflora, improve digestion, and increase the child's immunity. Milk, kefir, yogurt should be included in the diet of a healthy child every day, and cream, cottage cheese, sour cream and cheese can be used in one to two days.

For children with a normal body weight, products with a low percentage of fat are not acceptable, the diet uses milk 3.2% fat, kefir 2.5-3.2%, yoghurts 3.2%, sour cream up to 10%, curds like milk and creamy - 10% fat. The total amount of milk and fermented milk products should be 550-600 ml per day, taking into account the preparation of various dishes. Of these, 200 ml of kefir intended for baby food, a child can receive daily. For babies with intolerance to cow's milk proteins, it is best to postpone the introduction of whole milk until a later date (up to 2-2.5 years), and instead continue to use mixtures for the second half of life (they are made from whole milk powder without adding whey).

One-year-olds can only receive specialized infant milk (non-creamy) yogurt with a moderate fat and carbohydrate content in a volume of up to 100 ml per day. Cottage cheese, as a source of protein and calcium, is necessary for children within 50 g per day. Sour cream or cream 5-10 g can be used for dressing the first courses, hard cheese up to 5 g in crushed form are used in the diet of a baby in the second year of life in 1-2 days.

Can children eat eggs?

Definitely yes, if there are no medical contraindications, such as food intolerance, dyskinesia (abnormalities in contractions) of the biliary tract). Eggs are given to the baby hard-boiled or added to various dishes, in a daily volume of 1/2 a chicken egg or 1 quail. Up to a year and a half, it is recommended to use only hard-boiled yolk, mixing it with vegetable puree.

What kind of meat can a child eat?

With age, the amount of meat. Canned meat, meat soufflé, meatballs, minced meat from low-fat varieties of beef, veal, pork, horse meat, rabbit, chicken, turkey in an amount of 100 g can be given to the child daily, preferably in the morning, given their long period of assimilation. The expansion of the diet is due to the introduction of by-products - liver, tongue and baby sausages (the packages indicate that they are intended for young children). Sausages are not included in the list of "allowed" products.

Fish day: which fish to choose for the children's menu?

With good tolerance and the absence of allergic reactions in the diet baby low-fat sea and river varieties are introduced fishes (pollock, hake, cod, haddock) in the form of fish, fish and vegetable canned food for baby food, fish soufflé, 30-40 g per dose, 1-2 times a week.

You can't spoil porridge with butter

Vegetable oil at a daily rate of 6 g, it is advisable to use it raw, adding to vegetable purees and salads. Animal fats child gets with sour cream and butter (daily rate up to 17 g). By the way, in the diet of children over one year old, it is still recommended to widely use gluten-free porridge (buckwheat, rice, corn), gradually introducing oatmeal. It is recommended to give porridge once a day in a volume of 150 ml. Until 1.5 years old, you should not offer a child rich in carbohydrates pasta.

A set of products for children 1-1.5 years old should include bread various varieties of rye flour (10 g / day) and coarse wheat (40 g / day) Cookies and biscuits can be given 1-2 pieces per meal.

We compose a fruit and vegetable menu for children

Vegetables are important as a source of carbohydrates, vitamins, mineral salts, dietary fiber, and should be widely used in the nutrition of children from 1 to 1.5 years old in the form of vegetable purees. The daily volume of vegetable dishes from cabbage, zucchini, carrots, pumpkin with the addition of onions and herbs is 200 g. And potato dishes - no more than 150 g, because it is rich in starch, which slows down the metabolism. Young children, as well as children with functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, should not be offered garlic, radishes, radishes and turnips.

In the absence of medical contraindications (for example, food allergies), children should receive 100-200 g per day of fresh fruit and 10-20 g berries ... They also benefit from various fruit, berry (preferably sugar-free) and vegetable juices, rosehip decoction (up to 100-150 ml) a day after meals. It is not recommended to use jelly in the diet of young children, as they excessively enrich food with carbohydrates, and their nutritional value is low.

Compote will not replace water

Do not forget that child must get enough fluid. There are no norms for the volume of additional fluid, you need to water the baby on demand (during feeding, in between feedings). It is best to offer your child boiled water, baby drinking water, weak teas, or baby teas. Sweet drinks - compotes, fruit drinks, juices do not compensate for the lack of fluid, and the sugar in their composition reduces appetite, increases the load on the pancreas baby... Make sure that fluid is available to your baby between feeds.

Cooking for children must be right

Porridge, soups are prepared in mashed form, vegetables and fruits in the form of mashed potatoes, meat and fish in the form of soft minced meat (passed once through a meat grinder) or in the form of soufflé, steam cutlets, meatballs. All dishes are prepared by boiling, stewing, steaming, without adding spices (pepper, garlic, etc.). Spoon feed your baby and drink from a cup.

Gluten-free cereals - cereals that do not contain gluten - vegetable protein of some cereals: rye, barley, oats, wheat (from which semolina is made), which can cause damage to the cells of the small intestine in young children - celiac disease and allergic reactions, since babies have a deficiency the enzyme peptidase that breaks down gluten.

The child celebrated his birthday. During this year, many discoveries have occurred in his life. He can already boast of his first victories. The toddler begins to walk on his own, eat, and tries to take care of himself. It is not surprising that the diet of the crumbs must improve and become even more diverse. After all, this is the only way a baby can grow and develop normally, eating well.

In this article, you will learn how to properly handle and prepare food, find out what should be on the baby's menu and understand how much to feed a baby in one year.

What has changed in the digestion of a toddler

The child has more and more teeth. Now there may be 12 of them. (My son had 11 more teeth when he was a year old.) And this more and more allows the baby to eat more solid food.

The enzymatic activity of the pancreas and intestines increases, and the saturation of the juices of the digestive system also increases. This improves the rate of assimilation of food, and also contributes to its faster digestion.
The toddler already needs to give food in small pieces (up to 3 cm). This will determine the development of the correct bite and chewing skills of the child.
The volumetric dimensions of the stomach increase to approximately 300 ml. Therefore, the baby needs more food.

Cooking rules

Give preference to steam cooking or baking food. During normal cooking, a large amount of useful is lost. And during frying, compounds that are poisonous for the body of a small child are formed. And this way of processing is unacceptable for the toddler.
Give your baby only freshly prepared food. You should not offer the crumbs a dish after the refrigerator and warming up. It loses its valuable qualities.
Prepare food using only quality products, fresh, without putrefaction and dents. Peel fruits and vegetables.
Cook with purified water or special for baby food.
Use fresh fruits and vegetables in season and frozen food in winter. But it is better to lower them, without defrosting, immediately into boiled water.
Avoid boiling milk for more than three minutes. This product should be added to ready-made porridge or noodles.
Meat should not be chopped before cooking, it is better to do this with the finished product. Thus, its useful juice is preserved.
The addition of salt and sugar should be kept to a minimum.

What should be the baby's diet

First, it is important to know the following rules:

You should not feed the child between meals, so you only spoil his appetite.
Teach your baby to eat at strictly allotted hours.
The toddler needs only high-quality and fresh products.
Don't give your baby yesterday's food.
Monitor your child's personal hygiene.

Secondly, you need to know that:

The baby's menu must be composed correctly, taking into account the value of all components.
It is better to immediately make up the child's diet for a week in order to diversify it correctly, seeing the big picture.
Combine foods correctly, taking into account the value of organic compounds, vitamins and minerals.

Thirdly, when and how much to give a child to eat:

Observe five meals a day: 6, 10, 14, 18 and 22 hours.

My friend's son refused to eat before bed. The doctor said that the baby has enough of what he eats in a day. He advised his girlfriend to transfer the toddler to four meals a day.

A one-year-old child should eat up to 1300 grams per day, at one time - up to 260 grams. To calculate the exact indicators for your crumbs, you need to divide the baby's weight in grams by 9 (the daily amount of food you need), and then divide the answer by 5 or 4 (depending on the number of feedings). This will figure out how much your baby needs to get in one meal.

My son weighed 11 kg 200 grams a year. Therefore, per day I gave him about 1200 grams of food, and for one feeding - 240 grams.

On average, a baby should consume 1300 kilocalories per day. The first and last meal should have 20% of the calorie content, lunch and first dinner 15%, and lunch 30%.

What can you feed a baby at 1 year old

Berries, vegetables and fruits. Already it is allowed to slowly introduce red fruits and exotic fruits. But be prepared for an allergy, especially if the baby has previously experienced it for something.

My nephew, for example, is allergic to strawberries.

Porridge is very necessary for proper nutrition of the child. All types of cereals may already be present in the baby's menu. A one-year-old child can try to give semolina. You should not give the crumbs porridge more often than once a day.
Various types of meat. The daily rate is 100 grams.
Fish is given twice a week, approximately 40 grams. And it completely replaces meat products these days. Give preference to lean fish species. Pike perch, cod, sea bass, hake are good choices.
Give the baby eggs no more than three times a week.
Dairy and fermented milk products are required in a child's diet every day. At the same time, the baby already drinks about 200 ml of kefir or natural yogurt per day. And the daily rate of cottage cheese is about 70 grams. This is, of course, provided that the baby does not have milk intolerance.
Pasta should not be consumed more often than once a week and then in small quantities.
The kid should still be given only wheat flour bread. The daily norm of this product is 100 grams. It is better to choose biscuits biscuits or drying. No more than two pieces per day are recommended.
You can add small amounts of butter to ready-made dishes (both butter and vegetable).
From sweets, the baby can only be given honey, jam and marmalade (without dyes). Sugar should be consumed in very limited quantities.
Do not forget that the diet of the toddler should still contain the required amount of liquid. Let your baby drink some water, special for small children, as well as juices, decoctions, compotes, weak teas and jelly.

Possible crumbs menu

The first meal is taken at 6-7 hours. Offer the baby milk porridge (150 ml), half an egg, 50 grams of fruit puree. You can drink everything with weak tea, up to 100 ml.
For lunch, at about 10 am - vegetable puree (150 grams), jelly (50 milliliters), wheat flour bread (20 grams).
Lunch is the most satisfying meal of the day. Feed your baby around 2pm. Soup with meatballs (100 ml and 30 grams), vegetable puree (100 grams), white bread (20 grams) are good choices. You can drink it with compote - 100 ml.
At 18:00, offer the toddler 150 ml of kefir (or other dairy product), 70 grams of cottage cheese, 2 cookies.
Before going to bed (around 10:00 pm), give your baby up to 230 ml of breast milk or formula.

This is how one year passed in your child's life. Now he is on the path to adulthood. Support him, stimulate the correct development of the child and make sure that the baby has a correct and balanced diet, while receiving all the necessary nutrients.
