Nutrition of newborns
First of all, remember that the most importantand the right product for the baby is the mother's breast milk. It can not be replaced, but only lazy does not know about its usefulness. If the mother for any reason can not breastfeed, the only solution is the adapted mixture. To her choice it is necessary to approach with all responsibility. After all, this product will be the only food for crumbs in the first six months of life. When you are breastfeeding, your baby may need extra fluid. In this case, it must be drunk with water or a special tea, suitable for age.
The first complementary food should be introduced in approximatelysix months. Do not rush with this. As experts say, it's better to be late for a week than hurry. A recipe for a child of up to a year should not include complex products. Ingredients should be natural, fresh, without preservatives and colorants. The very first thing that a kid should try is fermented milk products. Usually it is yogurt. It is given two or three tablespoons for the first time, then supplemented with breast milk or a mixture. Lure is always introduced into the second feeding. So you will have the opportunity to observe the reaction of the baby. Every day, the number of spoons should be increased. As a result, kefir completely replaces one feeding. When a child gets used to a new product, cottage cheese is gradually added to it. Do this gradually. Take your time not to do much harm.
Recipe for a child under one year old
Having mastered the cottage cheese and yogurt, the baby is definitely notrefuses to try something else. Offer him a dairy-free cereal. It can be buckwheat, rice, corn. Please note that the product does not contain gluten. It can cause an allergic reaction.
Porridge should be prepared on water or adaptedmixture. Cow and goat's milk should not be present in the one-year-old child's menu. According to Komarovsky, breast milk is also added to the porridge if it is in sufficient quantities (Dr. Komarovsky is a well-known pediatrician: his advice is followed by a large number of parents, including those very well-known in the world).
For the first year of lifenecessary vegetable and fruit purees. The latter should be given with caution. Having tasted the sweet, the child can abandon the vegetables. For cooking vegetable purees, choose products such as potatoes, pumpkin, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini. They do not cause allergies and contain a large number of nutrients. Do not put any seasonings in the puree. Salt and sugar are also banned. Thus, the baby gradually gets used to thick food.
How to introduce meat
Recipe for a child of up to a year gradually becomesall more diverse. After the baby has mastered the vegetables, you can try the meat. First, soup is cooked, but not on water, but on chicken broth. Give his baby a few days in a row. If there are no negative reactions, you can add mashed meat.
Gradually introduce the chicken yolk, starting withof the fifth part. By the year its quantity should not exceed half of one yolk. By 10 months the baby should try pork, beef and fish. At this age, he is already able to chew hard enough pieces. Mother's milk or mixture recede into the background.
What can a child do per year
Having branched off a one-year milestone, the child not onlygrew up, gained weight, learned to walk and make a lot of sounds, but also ready to try and learn a variety of tastes. The kid is active and every minute receives a lot of new impressions. His body requires replenishment of energy. In this regard, recipes for a baby (1 year) of this age are slightly different from those that were used before. Much is changing in his taste sensations. The child has already tried all possible tastes and formed his attitude towards them.
It is worth noting that, contrary to popular belief,not all children like sweets. Many prefer to chew a bread crust or eat a piece of tender meat. Attentive parents will easily understand the taste preferences of their crumbs. Below we propose an approximate menu of a one-year-old child by Komarovsky.
- For breakfast, you can serve omelet, milk porridge, compote (tea, kissel or cocoa). Everything should be freshly prepared.
- Lunch includes several dishes. On the first can be served soup or broth. On the second - lean fish or meat with a garnish of vegetables. For dessert - fruit (always fresh) and drink.
- Snack is usually the most favorite food for children. Mom should prepare any curd dish, cookies, fruits and, of course, compote.
- Supper should not be too high in calories. Fatty food will not let the baby fall asleep and "give you" a sleepless night. You can serve stewed vegetables or porridge and milk (kefir).
How to cook
Many mothers are interested in the question of what can be doneput in the soup. For this purpose, a familiar set of products is useful. This broth, meat, potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage. They can be alternated, thereby diversifying the menu. All ingredients are cooked together, then using a blender turn into soup-puree. Over time, vegetables and meat can be cut into small pieces so that the child learns to chew.
Similarly, you can cook and vegetable mashed potatoes.Vegetables are cooked on water and mix well. Puree should be thicker than soup. Meat in this case is served separately. Food for a one-year-old child is prepared in the same way as for an adult. The difference is that the food is not added to the baby spices, and the salt is strewed in a minimal amount.
Caution does not hurt
When preparing all the dishes you should carefullylearn recipes. Nutrition of a child, 1 year old, is extremely important for its growth and development. It must be full and balanced. All used products must be fresh and free from harmful impurities.
A big mistake many parents make is theirdesire to feed the child against his will. Extra spoons, eaten "for dad, mom, grandmother", will not do any good. A small child is quite capable of deciding how much to eat and at what time.
Carefully watch what the baby is eating.At the age of one year he already has several teeth. However, he can not completely chew anything. Therefore, having bitten off a large piece of apple or a bagel, it can easily choke. Give him a baby cookie. It is hard enough and melts under the influence of saliva. So you protect your baby and give him the opportunity to practice masturbation.
