The recipes are interesting, you can pick up ideas. Can you try to create a menu for children with allergies (cow's milk protein, gluten)?
Answer: Julia, Here you can find various children's menus
Here is the “Weekly Menu for a Child with Allergy”, but this is not about allergies to gluten and milk protein.

Wonderful menu. Thanks for the recipes. There is a reason for the whole family to switch to proper healthy eating - thanks to the child. QUESTION: Can a child (1 year old) cook food in a pressure cooker?
Answer: Marina, thanks for the comment! Yes, you can.

Olesya: | June 15th, 2017 | 3:56 pm

The menu is good and varied. I read a lot of books and articles, I liked this menu. I appreciated the pumpkin soup with chicken, the zucchini and carrot casserole, the kindergarten-style omelet (it turns out my slow cooker doesn’t make it correctly, it takes 25 minutes and there are a lot of holes, despite the fact that it’s tall enough and very tasty). I’ll have to try your recipe for all family. And we puree the rest of the meat and vegetables in the soup because he spits out the pieces and scatters the stewed vegetables, he really likes giechka, pasta, rice, tea from his dad’s plate. We are 1 year 4 months old
Answer: Olesya, thank you for your comment and your experience! Bon appetit baby! Everything is always delicious on dad's plate :)

Anna: | December 25th, 2016 | 5:06 pm

Hello! A good menu, but the only question is, what can you replace zucchini with in the winter?
Answer: Anna, maybe cauliflower.

Elena: | November 24th, 2016 | 3:53 pm

We really liked the menu! We’re already chewing the pieces ourselves (although I make them small myself, but in pieces).
Answer: Elena, good appetite and food interest to the baby! :)

Julia: | December 2nd, 2015 | 8:36 pm

And I discovered a casserole made from zucchini and carrots. I’ve already saved the recipe for myself! But instead of zucchini, I want to try pumpkin. I think it will be no worse)))

Hope: | October 21st, 2015 | 11:00 pm

We are a year and a month old, we have 8 teeth since we were 8 months old, this menu is quite suitable. Despite the fact that there are no chewing teeth, the baby does not tear or choke on any pieces; on the contrary, he does not like food that is crushed into purees and happily gnaws on various bagels, cookies, etc., and tries to chew pieces of meat, fish and vegetables. Everyone eats everything on the menu with pleasure, no problems!

Anna: | October 18th, 2015 | 9:39 pm

Thanks for the recipes, my daughter really likes them. We are one year old in 5 days and we have 12 teeth, so my little one already chews everything)

Chulpan: | October 10th, 2015 | 9:28 pm

Hello!
Our daughter is now one year old. She has 8 teeth. There is not a single chewable one yet. She also vomits from the pieces. And I don’t understand this panic about the fact that it is necessary to learn to chew at this age. What if you teach chewing when the chewing teeth appear? Do you think it’s too late and the child won’t learn? All vital actions take place at the level of reflexes. Biting teeth appear - the child begins to bite; chewing teeth appear - he learns to chew. And while he cannot chew food, it will be poorly digested and absorbed by the body. It is very difficult for the body to digest uncrushed pieces. Try swallowing this food yourself. Then more problems with stool will appear. As a last resort, the pieces should be soft so that the child can crush them with his gums. It’s another matter when he asks for such food and tries to mash the pieces. I think you should try a little bit at a time and only try soft pieces. What kind of casseroles are there? The child will remain upset and hungry - or well-fed, but will be capricious due to tummy pain. You should not focus on age, but on the number of teeth, i.e. the body's readiness to process and assimilate such food.

Samira: | October 1st, 2015 | 1:35 pm

mine is one year old in 10 days, we cook soups with broth, only agusha porridge, applesauce, banana, I have never given fish,

Julia: | September 4th, 2015 | 1:40 pm

Mine is 1.1 years old. Somehow this Menu doesn’t really suit us - 8 teeth, but we’re too lazy to chew, we have to use a blender to fry everything, because if small pieces come across, the child immediately vomits, so meatballs and baked apples are definitely not for us))
Answer: Julia, of course, you need to look at the child. Different children begin chewing kibble at different ages. And baked apples are actually applesauce. Simply remove the skin from the apple and mash it with a fork. Or put it through a blender.

Shoira: | June 24th, 2015 | 8:49 am

We are 1 year 1 month old. 8 teeth. When the heat started, I stopped eating normally. He drinks well. Eating bread. The rest almost all spits out. How many times a day should you give rose hips? What to feed in the hot summer?
Can I contact you as a doctor? My 1 year 1 month old daughter crawls well. But she doesn’t walk on her own yet. Only holds on to 2 handles and on tiptoes. He wants to walk but is afraid. Costs 1-2 minutes without support. How can I encourage her to walk? Doesn't sleep well at night. During the day he sleeps for 2-2.5 hours. and then with me. 20 minutes without me. In the evening he falls asleep at 8 o'clock, whines, with music on his chest. And she starts waking up at 10, 12, 3, 5. She aches all the time, capricious. Hanging on my chest. Tossing and turning. If I watch TV she gets up and comes even though she was sleeping. And so every day. In the morning we walk in the evening too. I can’t constantly walk by the hand, my back hurts
Answer: Shoira, yes, now is a difficult period. What can I recommend: feed a hearty meal before bedtime so that the child wakes up less often at night. After a year, only mother's breast is no longer enough; you need to feed a full dinner. For example, before going to bed you can give cottage cheese with kefir + breast before falling asleep. And only breast + bread cannot be called complete nutrition for a child of this age. If he doesn’t eat anything else due to the heat, then this is temporary, it will go away with normalization of the weather, just give him more water and food at cool times of the day (morning, evening). If the problem also exists on non-hot days, then reconsider approaches to nutrition and teach the child to eat other foods besides bread, primarily vegetables, fruits, berries, and dairy products. If you give the child the opportunity to choose what he wants to eat, then children will prefer high-calorie carbohydrate foods (sweets, baked goods, etc.). Therefore, it is important to teach your child to eat healthy and make healthy food choices for him.

I really liked it. We’ll try to eat it like this. I hope we’ll find our favorite dishes

Hope: | November 18th, 2014 | 4:15 pm

Thank you for the menu, I really like it, it’s just a shame that the previous menu was removed and I can’t find it, there were a lot of delicious dishes there too

Hope: | September 28th, 2014 | 10:25 am

Cool menu, we are 1.7 years old and we eat a lot with pleasure, of course without overcooking, although I overcook the onions and carrots for the fish casserole, because it is still baked later. Thanks for the great menu!
Answer: Nadezhda, I'm glad you liked the menu!

Natalya: | September 23rd, 2014 | 8:58 am

But I just think that the sooner a child is accustomed to the adult table, the better. This is what pedagogical complementary feeding says. Previously, our great-grandmothers did not cook separately for children. There was no time. Housekeeping took up all my time. There was no time to play with the children, but here we had to stand and starve in the kitchen. Everything was done on the stove. Without steamers and multicookers. Lowering the onions and carrots a little is, on the contrary, good. And this is not frying. Nice menu. I give it a five. The child will learn to chew faster.

Sveta: | August 25th, 2014 | 10:56 am

The child has 8–10 teeth. I can’t imagine how he will chew the salads that are presented on the menu!
Answer: Sveta, if you chop the ingredients finely, it will work just fine.

Irina: | July 13th, 2014 | 10:04 pm

Excellent menu!) And I’m still racking my brains about what I could feed my princess :) I don’t see anything wrong with lightly frying for soup
Answer: Irina, thank you for your kind words! For a child, vegetables need not be overcooked at all.

Nata: | March 4th, 2014 | 6:37 pm

We are 8.5 months old. There is a lot that will come in handy from the article. Thank you.
Answer: Nata, I’m very glad that the article was useful!

Anita: | January 20th, 2014 | 10:19 am

Thank you for solving my issue with seasonings, it makes a difference for a vegetarian family. And thanks again for discovering new interesting recipes for the baby. Now you don’t have to rack your brains when preparing your child’s daily diet.

Olga: | June 2nd, 2013 | 3:27 pm

At 1 year and 3 months (15 months), the child develops his own food preferences. During this period, it is important to accustom your baby to healthy and varied dishes in the diet. Diet, food quality, culinary processing and a smooth transition from pureed to solid food remain important.

Let's start with those that should appear on the children's table every day.

Milk and its derivatives

Source of animal protein, vitamins and.

Total volume of breast milk or adapted formula, kefir, yogurt and other dairy products: 500 ml per day.

  • Breastfeeding is not canceled. Mom can feed the baby 1-2 times a day early in the morning and at night. As the needs of the child's body change, the quantity and quality of breast milk change. Therefore, the child is not in danger of overeating.
  • Adapted mixture Allow only one feeding, which can be replaced with 200 ml of kefir or fermented milk mixture before bedtime.
  • Cottage cheese (the daily value does not exceed 50 g) is offered in its pure form or used to prepare steamed cheesecakes, puddings, and soufflés.
  • or yogurt give up to 200 ml per day. Choose products with live lactic acid bacteria and the mark "for baby food".

Porridge

Sources of slow carbohydrates, B vitamins and minerals.

Gluten-containing representatives appear in the diet: wheat, oatmeal, millet porridge with milk or water (≈200 g).

For children with poor weight gain, you can also cook semolina porridge 1-2 times a week, but without fanaticism: it contains phytins, which impede the absorption of calcium and vitamin D.

Meat

Meat products are rich in proteins and amino acids, B vitamins, and iron.

Lean pork, domestic chicken, rabbit, beef and veal are on the menu 4-5 times a week, 80 g per serving in the form of cutlets, meatballs, meatballs, soufflé.

Vegetables

Suppliers of vegetable protein, vitamins, fiber and minerals.

Used for preparing fresh salads, stewing, and added to soups.

Total amount per day: 200 g.

A 15-month-old child needs 100 g per day from a fruit and berry basket.

Eggs

Dietary protein product, source of essential amino acids and vitamins.

Only chicken and after heat treatment are allowed on the children's menu.

Standard: ½ chicken egg (white and yolk) or a whole quail egg. It is allowed to give every other day, increasing the amount by 2 times.

Oil

Provides the growing body with vitamins A, E, D and valuable fatty acids.

The share of vegetable oil is a quarter of the total amount or 5–6 g per day, butter - 15 g.

Bread

In the children's diet, the leader is easily digestible white bread made from wholemeal flour (40 g per day). Up to 20 g of rye bread is also allowed.

Beverages

Children's bottled water is offered unboiled. From other sources (well, water supply, borehole) requires boiling.

The child’s body itself regulates the need for water depending on the temperature and physical activity. Therefore, it must be given on demand.

Compotes, juices, fruit drinks

Prepared from fruits and berries typical of the place where you live, without adding sugar.

Fruits frozen for future use are also suitable for compotes.

Products that are given irregularly

By-products

A good option is a spoonful of homemade jam for cottage cheese, cheesecakes or porridge.

Please note! Acceptable: 35 g per day, taking into account its content in other products (milk, cereals, fruits, vegetables, etc.).

Salt

Can be harmful: it causes fluid retention and increases the load on the kidneys.

About not wanting

Appetite in childhood is not constant and decreases for various reasons:

  • inactivity;
  • high-calorie snacks;
  • malaise;
  • reluctance to eat what is offered.

Refusal to eat is not a reason to force feed your baby.

Children's doctor Komarovsky advises:

  • leave the child the right to choose;
  • temporarily replace what you don’t like with something of equal calorie content, but from other products (for example, porridge with pasta or mashed potatoes);
  • do not repeat during the day and, if possible, a week;
  • observe rituals: wash hands, arrange plates, tie a napkin;
  • offer delicious and beautifully presented dishes.

Binge eating

Another problem in baby food after a year, although it is less common.

Typically, overeating is associated with parents' attempts to get the child to eat more.

  • overweight;
  • decreased physical activity;
  • disruptions in the digestive system;
  • disturbance of intestinal microflora;
  • decreased immunity.

Snacks

Experts believe that indiscriminate snacking is a reason for skipping main meals.

But it is sometimes difficult for a physically active child to take a break of 4 hours - he needs a snack to replenish energy costs.

What to do:

  1. To eliminate the feeling of hunger, give a few pieces of fruits, vegetables, a slice of cheese or 1-2 children's cookies with kefir.
  2. Reinforce the fidget 1.5 hours before the main meal.
  3. If your baby wants to eat 30–40 minutes earlier than the established schedule, meet him halfway.

It is important to learn to understand whether the child really wants to eat or is thirsty. The suggested water and unsweetened compote can be a quick solution to the problem.

Breast milk

Mother's milk after one year:

  • provides 95% vitamin C;
  • helps in digestion of food;
  • provides immune protection against infections.

Principles of Cooking

By the age of 1 year and 3 months, a child’s digestive system can already easily cope with many foods, provided they are properly prepared and processed.

The priority is steaming in a double boiler or multicooker. An acceptable option is boiling, an acceptable option is stewing.

Vegetables for fresh salads are grated and cut into small pieces before heat treatment. In stews and first courses, they can be slightly mashed with a fork.

The meat is passed through a meat grinder for steamed meatballs, cutlets, meatballs, and soufflés. Boil for pates, then grind in a blender, cut into small pieces for stewing.

For fish fillets, boiling, stewing, and baking in foil are suitable. It is also used to make minced meat for meatballs and cutlets.

Eggs are prepared only hard-boiled, in a fat-free form with the addition of milk, and are used for minced fish and meat, cheesecakes and casseroles, followed by heat treatment.

It is preferable to have porridges of uniform consistency, well boiled. Buyable: Age appropriate soluble industrial production or quick-cooking in flakes.

Butter and vegetable oil added to food at the end of cooking, without exposing it to high temperatures.

Fresh fruits are peeled, cut into small pieces or offered to the baby in a nibbler as a safer option.

To prepare milk porridges, you can use adapted mixtures. Whole cow's milk remains banned for up to 3 years due to the high risk of allergies to milk protein.

  • choose only fresh and environmentally friendly products;
  • cook food immediately before serving;
  • Do not give your fidget too hot or cold.

Update: December 2018

From the moment a child reaches one year of age, his nutrition gradually expands and changes. But this does not mean at all that after a year the child needs to be switched to adult food; his digestive system is not yet ready to digest many adult foods, and pancreatic enzymes and bile are not yet fully functionally active.

Nutrition for children up to one and a half years old

After 1 year of age, a child’s nutrition changes, gradually and smoothly approaching the adult table. What are the nutritional features after one year:

  • children become more active and neat at the table, they learn to use cutlery, drink from a cup, and use a napkin
  • children actively drink water, washing down their food with it, doing this many times during meals
  • children can eat food while moving, it is often difficult to keep them at the table, and they periodically run up to the mother, take pieces of food, and continue to move, spin in the chair, throw food around
  • They are selective in their eating, they can pick through food, throwing out what they think is tasteless from the plate, and they go on “strikes”, demanding certain food.

These are the characteristics of children’s eating behavior; all parents go through these stages of developing the child’s taste and eating habits.

Usually, after one year of age, children switch to five meals a day. Typically, a child's diet looks like this:

  • Breakfast (8.00-8.30)
  • Second breakfast (10.30-11.00)
  • Lunch (12.30-13.00)
  • Afternoon snack (15.30-16.00)
  • Dinner (18.30-19.00)

In between meals, there may be small snacks of fruit or light desserts, juices, compotes. It is important not to give children high-calorie foods (sweet cookies, rolls, sweets, chocolate, candies) during these snacks, so that the child has an appetite for the next meal.

Typically, children in the first year of life receive breast milk or adapted milk formula as their main nutrition. A child’s nutrition after 1 year undergoes some changes, especially depending on the type of feeding:

  • When breastfeeding Mother's milk is gradually replaced by complementary foods during the day and becomes additional nutrition. But, according to WHO, there is no need to stop breastfeeding after a year; it is advisable to continue it until one and a half to two years, gradually and smoothly weaning the child from the breast. In the period up to one and a half years, breastfeeding can still be maintained in the daytime before bedtime and as snacks between meals, gradually feedings are reduced to suckling at the breast at night and at night, as well as attachment to the breast not for nutrition, but mostly for communication and calming .
  • When the child is on adapted formulas, there is a transition to triple formulas, special dairy products that are designed to replace cow's milk at this age, which is not recommended in the diet of young children due to its high allergenicity. The mixture is mainly given at night, replaced during the day with regular products.

Why is children's diet changing? Peculiarities of children's digestion.

Expanding the diet and changing dietary patterns is determined by the developmental characteristics of the child’s digestive tract. After a year, active teething of the chewing group occurs (there should be 12 of them), there is a sharp increase in the concentration of digestive juices and the activity of intestinal and pancreatic enzymes. This helps facilitate the digestion of new and denser food and its active absorption.

The appearance of teeth requires an increase in the chewing load on them for the correct and complete formation of the dentofacial apparatus and facial skeleton. A child at this age learns to chew pieces of food measuring about 2-3 cm and having a relatively loose consistency. Chewing helps in the development of the muscles and bones of the jaw, which forms a correct bite and complete grinding of food for its active digestion.

  • The child begins to consume large volumes of food due to an increase in the volume of the stomach to approximately 250-300 ml, while its emptying of food occurs approximately every 3-4 hours from the moment of the previous intake.
  • This determines the formation of a new food intake regimen, first five meals a day, and as they grow older, the transition to four meals a day by the age of three years.
  • The volume of food per day at this age is about 1200-1300 ml, the volume of the average portion of food with five meals a day is approximately 250 ml with slight deviations in the range of 30-50 g.
  • With the appearance of teeth, the consistency of food should gradually thicken from mushy to familiar food with a soft consistency (boiled vegetables, cereals, pasta, meat cutlets, meatballs, etc.), which can be bitten and chewed.

During this period, eating habits and eating habits are formed, so now is the time to offer your child a variety of (allowed, healthy) foods to try, so that he learns to eat different foods. When eating, digestive juices are actively produced, which helps in the active absorption of food. At this age, it is important to strictly adhere to the diet, which helps to “turn on” digestion by a certain time and adequately absorb all components of food.

Features of cooking for young children

  • food should be fully thermally processed, products should not be overcooked, preferably steam cooking or cooking over low heat
  • food is prepared directly for consumption, it is unacceptable to warm it up and store it even for a day in the refrigerator, this sharply reduces its nutritional value and increases the risk of spoilage, contamination with dangerous microbes and food poisoning, especially in the warm season
  • soups and cereals are prepared pureed, vegetables and fruits are mashed with a fork, meat and fish are given in the form of minced meat, chopped products or soufflé
  • dishes are prepared boiled, stewed or steamed without adding spices, garlic and pepper.

Basic dietary requirements for children

The nutrition of a child under the age of one and a half years should be:

  • correct and balanced in all main components
  • the menu should be varied, compiled for a week with different dishes and products
  • adjusted for proteins, fats and carbohydrates, vitamins and mineral components.

This is achieved by combining vegetables and fruits, meat or fish dishes, dairy products, flour products and cereals in the daily diet.

It is important to immediately decide what foods the child can eat, taking into account the state of health and characteristics of early development.

During the first year of life, a child could have a food allergy or individual intolerance to foods, which will exclude these foods from the diet for up to two or three years. As they grow older, they can be carefully introduced into the diet under tolerance control.

Comparative characteristics of the diet up to 3 years

Main characteristics From 1 to 1.6 years From 1.6 to 3 years
Number of teeth a child has 8-12 pieces, front incisors and chewing premolars. It is possible to bite and chew only soft foods. 20 teeth, all groups of teeth for both biting and chopping and chewing food
Stomach volume 250-300 ml 300-350 ml
Number of meals 5 meals a day 4 meals a day
Volume of one meal 250 ml 300-350 ml
Daily food volume 1200-1300 ml 1400-1500 ml.
Calorie distribution of meals
  • First breakfast – 15%
  • Second breakfast 10%
  • Lunch – 40%
  • Afternoon snack – 10%
  • Dinner – 25%.
  • Breakfast – 25%
  • Lunch – 35%
  • Afternoon snack – 15%
  • Dinner – 25%.

About dairy products

Dairy products should be an essential component of the diet of a child up to one and a half years old. However, the most important question for today is? A baby’s gastrointestinal tract is not able to fully digest whole milk until the age of 2, since there are still no necessary enzymes (some people do not produce this enzyme throughout their lives). In this regard, the introduction of whole cow's milk is not recommended earlier than 2-3 years. In addition, today there is a massive allergization of the population, especially among children, including an increasing number of cases of development. You need to be especially careful with milk:

  • children with atopic dermatitis
  • if the child's parents have milk intolerance
  • children with digestive disorders.

Breastfed babies do not need whole cow's milk by definition; they get their mother's milk. For children on artificial formulas, it is better to replace the intake of cow's milk with special milk mixtures in troikas and fermented milk products.

Dairy products are rich in easily digestible animal protein, animal fat, as well as a set of vitamins and mineral components necessary for the growth and development of the baby. Fermented milk products contain beneficial bacteria that help intestinal function, support the growth and functioning of your own microflora and stimulate the immune system.

  • Dairy products should be included in the diet every day - kefir, yogurt, yogurt
  • Every other day - cottage cheese, cheeses, sour cream or cream
  • For children with normal body weight, low-fat or low-fat dairy products are not recommended.
  • The daily volume of dairy products, taking into account their costs for preparing dishes, is at least 400 ml.
  • The consumption of milk in porridge, cottage cheese in dishes, sour cream and cream in dishes is taken into account.

It is worth considering the fact that today in Russia many manufacturers, in order to reduce production costs, include palm oil in their dairy products, which is much cheaper than milk fat, and it is not always indicated in the product labeling (or simply vegetable fats are indicated). Therefore, very cheap dairy products (butter, cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, etc.) most likely contain it. Disputes about the dangers and benefits of palm oil have been going on for a long time, and it is not possible to unequivocally say that it is harmless to the child’s body.

It is clear that the shorter the product’s shelf life and the fresher it is (today’s, yesterday’s), the better. In the summer, there are many cases of poisoning of children with dairy products, such as cottage cheese, sour cream, yoghurt, since in the heat, due to the negligence of retail chains, there is often downtime of goods without a refrigerator (transportation, storage, waiting for loading, unloading, etc.). Therefore, before giving your child a dairy product, make sure it is fresh, try the product yourself.

What dairy products can a child eat?

Yogurt

After one year of age, children should be given special children's yogurts that are balanced in the amount of fats and carbohydrates. They are prepared using a special yoghurt starter (streptococcus thermophilus and yoghurt (Bulgarian) stick). These yoghurts are not thermally processed and have a very short shelf life (stored only in the refrigerator), which allows them to retain their beneficial properties. Yogurts that have a long shelf life have either been thermally processed or contain preservatives; children should not consume such yogurts. They do not contain beneficial bacteria, and additional components can harm the child’s body.

Kefir

This fermented milk drink helps with the functioning of the cardiovascular system and intestines due to the content of special lactic acid microbes and bifid flora. These microbes help the growth of beneficial intestinal microflora, which will improve digestion and immune function. At the same time, kefir has high acidity and fixes stool, especially when stored for a long time; its intake should be limited to 200-300 ml per day.

Cottage cheese

Cottage cheese is a source of protein and calcium for a child, but it is very difficult to digest due to the high percentage of protein. Therefore, the volume of cottage cheese per day should not exceed 50-100g. Only cottage cheese with a fat content of at least 5-9% will be useful for the complete absorption of calcium; zero-fat cottage cheese is not so useful, since calcium will practically not be absorbed without fat. Cottage cheese can be consumed in its pure form or with the addition of fruit; high-calorie and protein-rich dishes are no longer given at the same time with cottage cheese.

Cheese, sour cream and cream

These products are recommended to be given to children in limited quantities or used in preparing dishes for children. Sour cream and cream are often given as a dressing for soups or main courses; cheese can be added to side dishes. As teething progress, you can give your baby pieces of unsalted hard cheese to chew.

Fish

It is recommended to use fish dishes in children's diets once or twice a week. Children under one and a half years old are allowed such types of fish as cod, hake or pollock, pike perch, sea bass, but if the child is allergic, it is worth giving up fish until at least 2-3 years. Fish can be offered in the form of children's specialized canned fish, fish soufflé, boiled fish with a side dish, or steamed cutlets.

Fish is good for children because of its easily digestible protein and a set of vitamins and microelements, iodine and fluorine, phosphorus and calcium, useful for the growth of skeletons and teeth. But, at this age, soups with fish broth are strictly prohibited - extractive and harmful substances from the fish carcass pass into the broth during cooking.

Meat

  • Meat is the main source of animal protein for a baby and should be on the child’s table at least five times a week.
  • Different types of meat and poultry can be introduced into the children's diet in the amount of 100g.
  • Meat dishes can be in the form of minced meat, meatballs, steam cutlets or canned meat for children.
  • It is important to remember that meat takes a long time to digest and must be introduced in the first half of the day - at lunch.
  • After a year, the diet expands to include offal - tongue, liver, heart.
  • Poultry, rabbit, turkey, and lamb are also beneficial.

Lard, lamb meat and fatty pork, meat of waterfowl and wild animals are excluded from the diet of young children. It is strictly forbidden for children under 3 years of age to introduce sausages, sausages, and wieners, even those labeled as children's (most often, children's names on them are tricks of the manufacturers, these are ordinary sausages and wieners). Children's sausages must bear the inscription "specialized product for baby food" and indicate the child's age (for sausages this is usually 3+).

Egg

Eggs are a source of protein; in addition to protein, they contain many useful amino acids, microelements and vitamins. Eggs are given to a child after a year every day, in the absence of allergies or pathologies of the biliary system. You can add an egg to dishes or give it hard-boiled, or make a steam omelet from it. It is forbidden for young children to give soft-boiled eggs or fried eggs in a bag. If you are allergic to chicken egg white, quail eggs can be an excellent alternative. You can have up to 2 pieces per day.

Oils

Children's diets should include enough fats in the form of vegetable oils and butter. Butter can be served with a soft bun in the form of a sandwich or added to ready-made cereals and vegetable purees so that the butter is not subjected to heat treatment and does not lose its beneficial properties. The amount of butter per day is no more than 10-15g.

Vegetable oils are used for cooking and seasoning ready-made dishes; they are used to season salads and vegetable dishes. It is better to use unrefined oils - extra virgin olive, sunflower. The norm of vegetable oils is no more than 10 g per day.

Cereal dishes

After a year, both gluten-free cereals (buckwheat, rice and corn) and gluten-containing cereals (wheat, oats, rye) are used in children’s diets. Cereals are consumed both in the form of porridges and as cereal side dishes for main courses. Buckwheat, corn and oatmeal porridges, and multi-grain porridges will be especially beneficial for children.

After a year, you can gradually add semolina and millet porridge to your child’s menu, but semolina should be given infrequently - it is very high in calories. Porridges are usually served for breakfast and their quantity is no more than 200-250 ml. The volume of side dish for main courses should be about 100-150g.

Bread, pasta

Children can be offered bread made from white and rye flour throughout the year, while white bread can be given up to 40 g, and rye bread no more than 10 g. White bread is digested better; too much rye bread can lead to bloating in the baby's belly.

In the diet of children under one and a half years old, you can include baby noodles, spider webs or egg noodles. The amount of pasta should not exceed 100g per day.

Vegetables and fruits

Vegetables and fruits must be present in the diet of children under one and a half years of age every day. They are a source of vitamins and minerals, pectins, fruit acids and sugars, as well as plant fiber to stimulate digestion. Vegetables and fruits can be used both thermally processed (boiled, steamed, baked) and fresh.

Vegetables

The daily volume of vegetables and fruits should reach 300-400 g, of which vegetables should make up at least half of the volume.

Can Undesirable
  • The share of potatoes is no more than 40% of the total volume of vegetables due to their high calorie content and excess starch.
  • Healthy vegetables for children of this age will be: cabbage, beets, carrots, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, squash, pumpkin, etc.
  • You should add garden herbs to your dishes - green onions, dill, parsley, basil, cilantro.
  • At this age, it is undesirable to give vegetables such as radishes, radishes, garlic; green peas and beans, lentils should be introduced carefully. They can cause abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea.
  • Salads should not be dressed with mayonnaise, only with vegetable oils, sour cream or freshly squeezed fruit juice.

Fruits

The range of fruits expands significantly after a year, but it is worth introducing local fruits in season and initially in small quantities, monitoring reactions.

  • Up to two years of age, treat strawberries and exotic fruits (citrus fruits, kiwi, etc.) with caution. The quantity of these fruits should not exceed 100g.
  • Gooseberries, currants, raspberries, cranberries and others will be useful after a year. In shabby form.
  • You should avoid eating grapes for at least two years; they lead to fermentation in the stomach and can cause digestive disorders.

Sweets

Until the age of three, you should not indulge children with chocolate, confectionery, or sweets due to the load of glucose in the pancreas, the excess of chemicals in these products, excess calories and the risk of dental caries. You should also avoid eating cream cakes, pastries and shortbread cookies. From confectionery products, you can give marshmallows, marshmallows and marmalade.

Do not encourage your baby's craving for sweets: often parents, when encouraging their baby to finish vegetables or meat, promise candy as a reward. The substitution of taste values ​​occurs very quickly and the child will soon give preference to sweets instead of healthy foods.

It is worth avoiding sugar as much as possible in children's diets, replacing it with honey (in the absence of allergies) or sweet fruits. Yes, of course, sweets are good for the brain, they are a source of fast carbohydrates and pleasure for children, but it is worth thinking about the long-term consequences of irrational sugar intake.

  • When consuming sweets, glucose is actively and quickly absorbed from the intestine into the blood, increasing its concentration two to three times. Such sharp fluctuations in blood glucose levels lead to strain on the pancreas in producing insulin. Glucose is actively utilized in tissue, where it is processed into fats, which leads to excess weight and metabolic changes that subsequently set the body to work in “emergency” mode.
  • From early childhood, a tendency to atherosclerosis, diabetes and obesity is programmed.
  • In addition, according to recent studies, excess sugar in food leads to a decrease in immunity and the removal of beneficial microelements from the body - chromium, magnesium and copper.
  • Sugar also provokes the formation of allergies in children’s bodies with skin, intestinal and pulmonary symptoms.

Don't forget about the potential harm of sugar to teeth, especially milk teeth. Sweets, namely sugar, will be one of the main reasons for the formation of caries in a child. Due to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of milk teeth - delicate thin enamel, lack of perfect protection mechanisms, caries takes on a lightning-fast course, and complications quickly develop: inflammatory in nature (pulpitis, periodontitis), which often results in premature tooth extraction - malocclusion pathologies.

Caries is an infectious process, and the main pathogens are certain streptococci. The breeding ground and habitat for which will be dental plaque. Sugars and sweets, especially sticky ones (cookies with a high margarine content, lollipops) create a sticky layer on the surface of the teeth that is difficult to clean off and remains on the teeth for a long time. These conditions ensure the development of caries and its consequences.

In addition, carious teeth are constant sources of infection and can cause the development of tonsillitis, infectious diseases of the kidneys and other internal organs.

Our ancestors, who did not consume sugar, but used honey and fruits as sweets, were healthier than we are. This suggests that from an early age it is worth controlling your sugar intake, limiting it or replacing it with healthier natural products. And even more so, you should not give children drinks filled with sugar (carbonated sweet drinks, cola, Pepsi, store-bought juices), and especially not allow them to chew on lump sugar.

Today, it is extremely difficult to control the consumption of refined sugar among family members, since it is found in many prepared foods on supermarket shelves and how much of it is difficult to calculate in a particular product. But it’s worth reducing your sugar consumption, at least when cooking at home.

Let us repeat that ideally you should not give sweets to a child UNDER 3 YEARS OLD. If that doesn’t work, at least limit its consumption to 4-5 teaspoons per day, taking into account sweet foods.

Sample menu for one day for a child 1.5 years old

  • First breakfast: oatmeal with banana, white bun with butter, tea/with milk
  • Second breakfast: banana, apple juice, dry bread
  • Lunch: cucumber salad with tomato and olive oil, vegetarian borscht, vegetable stew with steamed veal cutlet,
  • Afternoon snack: cottage cheese casserole with apple, yogurt
  • Dinner: cauliflower and potato puree, kefir, cookies, apple.

It is worth mentioning that the norms given below are only an approximate amount that, on average, a child at this age can eat. But, for example, fragile, slender girls (little girls) eat much less than boys, so if your baby eats less food, this is normal, do not panic. Each child is individual and weight gain depends on the child’s build and height. To control the baby’s normal weight gain, you can use (boys and girls height up to 115 cm) in our other article.
