At 1 year old, a child has already acquired 8 teeth, he can eat a variety of foods, and his digestive system is capable of digesting complex dishes. At the same time, it is still difficult for the baby to chew, and it is more convenient to eat dishes in the form of purees, unless they contain small lumps. The baby is still largely dependent on mother's milk or formula and enjoys drinking it before bed or after waking up.

Usually a one-year-old baby eats 4-5 times a day. Snacks with milk between main meals are possible, but it is better to gradually eliminate them, creating a daily routine that will help the child adapt more easily to kindergarten.

On average, at the age of 1 to 1.5 years, a baby eats 1100 - 1200 ml of food:

  • Breakfast – 275-300 ml;
  • Lunch – 385-420 ml;
  • Afternoon snack – 165-180 ml;
  • Dinner – 275-400 ml.

Pediatricians advise including cereals, vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, eggs, and dairy products in the menu of a 1-year-old child.

Each of these products contains nutrients and minerals necessary for the growth of a child:

  • Cereal porridges are rich in carbohydrates, vegetable proteins, minerals, and vitamins.
  • Meat contains proteins, amino acids, iron, and vitamins necessary for growth and development.
  • Fish is well digestible, it contains vitamins, minerals, and the omega-3 component necessary for normal brain function. It is necessary to give fish to children very carefully to avoid possible complications.
  • Your daily menu must include fruits and vegetables. They contain many vitamins and fiber. If you are not particularly sensitive to them, they can be eaten raw, steamed or boiled.
  • Dairy products remain an important component of a 1-year-old child's diet. They contain proteins that are absorbed most fully by the child’s body, fats, carbohydrates, and calcium. Fermented milk products contain beneficial bacteria necessary for intestinal function. The use of dairy dishes should be limited if the child has.
  • Eggs can be one of the factors that provoke allergies. But if the baby does not have an allergic reaction, then there is no reason not to give them. A 1 year old child's diet can include 1.5 eggs per week. Eggs contain easily digestible protein and various microelements.
  • Nothing bad will happen if you include a little white bread, jam, marmalade, and marshmallows made from natural products without added sugar in your baby’s diet.
  • Weak tea and boiled water are perfect to quench your thirst. You just have to remember that it is unlikely that a one-year-old child will be able to say that he is thirsty. It is better to always keep a bottle of clean water so that the baby can reach it.

It is better not to include salt and sugar in your food. He will still have time to get used to these products in kindergarten and when he grows up.

What to do with your baby

Often the mother of a one-year-old child does not yet work or works remotely and can devote more time to her baby. This doesn't mean she has time to cook different dishes.

The cooking process will go faster if you create a menu for a 1-year-old child with recipes for a week at once.

Many mothers try to cook food with their baby, sitting him on a high chair, giving him a piece of dough, berries, bran, peas.

From all these products you can come up with a game that will distract the child’s attention for a while. And at this time the mother will take out the ingredients from which the food will be prepared and begin to cook. At the same time, he will tell a fairy tale about peas that ran away from an evil old woman, or berries that the good girl Masha collected in a basket. Plots for fairy tales are limited only by mother's imagination.

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 requirements for children's diet

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.

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.

The diet of children under one and a half years old 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.

The menu for children under one year old is not very varied. The basis of his diet is breast milk or its artificial substitutes, liquid porridge, pureed vegetables, and a little chopped meat. By the age of one year, the baby becomes more picky about food. The baby develops its own preferences. However, lists of favorite and least favorite foods change frequently. Therefore, from time to time, offer your baby dishes that he refused most recently. It is quite possible that this time he will eat everything with pleasure. With food, the child should receive all the necessary nutrients and microelements. A child’s menu after one year should be varied. For adequate nutrition after a year, the child’s menu should include dairy products, meat, fish, cereals, vegetables and fruits.

The diet of a one-year-old baby is just like that of an adult: breakfast, afternoon snack, lunch and dinner. In this article we will present some simple children's recipes to help mommy cope with the task of preparing healthy and tasty dishes. When introducing new foods to your child’s diet, make sure that the baby is not allergic to them. To do this, give him a small amount first - literally a spoon. If after a few hours there are no signs of an allergic reaction or disorder, feel free to introduce a new product.

Sample menu after a year

  • Breakfast may consist of milk porridge or cottage cheese, eggs and fruit
  • Lunch should include vegetable soup and a hearty dish of fish, poultry or meat with a side dish of boiled vegetables or cereals. Raw vegetables, in the form of salads, are recommended for children after one and a half years of age.

  • Dinner is similar in composition to breakfast.

Child's menu after one year - dairy dishes, cottage cheese dishes for children

Milk and dairy products remain one of the most important in the diet of a growing baby. It is advisable that the child drinks from ¾ to 1 liter of milk in any form. A lot of milk is required to prepare porridge.

Use a variety of grains

  • rice
  • buckwheat
  • pearl barley,
  • oatmeal,
  • semolina
  • wheat

The recipes for making baby porridge are quite simple.

You can add softened dried fruits, boiled carrots, pumpkin, nut crumbs, and honey to the finished milk porridge. Then grind everything in a blender.

I don't know a child who doesn't like milk noodle soup.

Cook the vermicelli until tender, add milk and boil for another 3-4 minutes. Add butter and sugar. Some people use honey instead of sugar.

Cottage cheese is introduced as complementary food at a fairly early age. Therefore, by the age of one year, the child may refuse it (as they say: “he’s full”). Children's cottage cheese recipes will allow you to keep this very valuable product on your baby's menu.

"Lazy dumplings."

To prepare two servings you will need 100 g. low-fat cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons flour, a pinch of salt. To make the dumplings more tender, rub the cottage cheese through a sieve and sift the flour

  1. Mix cottage cheese thoroughly with sugar and salt until smooth.
  2. Add the egg and beat with a blender.
  3. Gradually add flour and knead the dough. The dough should not be very stiff.
  4. Roll out the resulting dough into a sheet 5 mm thick. Cut the dough into 3 x 3 cm pieces. You can squeeze out fun shapes using cookie cutters.
  5. Throw the finished dumplings into boiling water. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Add fruit, honey, jam - whatever you fancy.

Cottage cheese casserole.

You can make the classic one, but many people experiment by adding carrots, pumpkin, raisins, and bananas. Take 250 gr. cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon of sugar or fructose, 1 tablespoon of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of flour, salt. If you decide to use additional ingredients, add half a cup of raw grated carrots, pumpkin, a handful of raisins or 1 unripe banana. You can make cottage cheese and buckwheat casserole, but then exclude sugar from the recipe.

  1. Whisk cottage cheese, yolks, sugar or fructose, sour cream, and flour thoroughly.
  2. Introduce proteins
  3. This step is for those who decided to dream up. Add carrots, pumpkin, raisins, banana or buckwheat to the curd mass.
  4. After mixing, pour into the mold. Baking time is 30-40 minutes at 200 degrees.

Vegetable soups. Recipes for children after one year

After one year of age, a child’s menu must include vegetable soups. Soups for children up to one and a half years old are prepared in weak meat or chicken broth from “light” vegetables - potatoes, carrots, onions. Cabbage, asparagus, spinach, and legumes are recommended to be introduced closer to two years. It is advisable to prepare fresh soup every day.

Recipes for baby purees and soups do not require precise dosages and ingredients. Any vegetables that you have on hand are suitable for cooking: potatoes, carrots, asparagus, celery, parsley root, onions, cauliflower, tomatoes, broccoli, herbs (dill, parsley, rosemary). I wouldn't recommend using white cabbage. Onions, carrots, celery and parsley root can be lightly sautéed. Salt and spices to taste. Just keep in mind that a child’s portion of salt and spices is much smaller than an adult’s. Cook in water or broth. For extra airiness, add cream. Cook until tender, then rub the vegetables through a sieve or chop with a blender.

Meatball soup is everyone's favorite dish. Prepare meatballs from ground beef, pork or chicken. Throw diced potatoes, whole unchopped onions and meatballs into boiling water. When the potatoes and meatballs are ready, add lightly fried grated carrots, celery root and parsley root to the pan. Throw in small vermicelli or rice. Salt, pepper, and other spices in children's dosages. Cook until done. Remove the onion with a slotted spoon. You can sprinkle with fresh herbs.

By the age of one year, the child already eats minced or minced meat. Cook for your baby from chicken or turkey meat, rabbit, veal, lean, lean pork. Sausages, hot dogs, and ham are food for older children. A one-year-old child's menu should include fresh meat or fish every day. Sometimes it can be replaced with an egg.

The recipe for children's meat soufflé is completely simple, even for beginners.

For half a kilo of turkey you will need 100 grams of white bread, 1 egg, 200 ml of milk, a pinch of salt.

  1. Boil the turkey in unsalted water until fully cooked.
  2. Soften white bread in warm milk.
  3. Boiled meat, white bread, yolk, whipped egg white, salt, milk and a little broth using a blender, turn into puree.
  4. Place the semi-finished product in a greased form. You can sprinkle grated cheese on top
  5. Cook in the oven or steamer.

Children don't really like fish. However, it is so useful that it is advisable to still find a recipe for a fish dish that your baby will like.

Fish cakes have always helped me out. Pass any fish fillet through a meat grinder along with onions and white bread softened in milk. Salt and pepper. Form cutlets. For a child, it is better to steam it.

Vegetables as a side dish and as an independent dish

Children's vegetable dishes can be made tasty and varied. I think you'll like the idea of ​​zucchini pancakes.

Grate 1 zucchini on a coarse grater, beat in 1 egg, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour, salt. Fry on each side until golden brown. Blot excess oil with paper.

Vegetable stew with chicken - quick and tasty.

The recipe is not strict, you can use your imagination and add other vegetables. Place diced potatoes, grated carrots, quartered tomatoes, pieces of meat in pans or in a slow cooker. Spices to taste. Simmer until done.

Fruit desserts for children.

It is still too early to give sweets, chocolate and other confectionery products to your baby. Therefore, the main sweets after the year are fruits. Fruit purees for children are where you can prove yourself as a true inventor. Combine different fruits in different proportions. The results will be very tasty and your little one will definitely like it.

Perhaps these recipes for children aged 1 year and older, which I described in the article, will help you create a menu for your baby for a couple of days.

*So, I decided to seriously take a look at the menu for my now one-year-old, because breastfeeding will soon end, but I want the baby to continue to receive healthy and tasty yum.

I looked through several sites, shortened it as much as I could, but it still turned out to be a lot of bukuff. I'm afraid that I will add more, because there are still many questions.

Important points:
1) dairy products are fading into the background. Recommended consumption rates of dairy products (breast milk, formula, cow's milk) for children after one year are up to 500 ml per day.

2) we try to transfer children to 4 - 5 meals a day.

I Breakfast (Protein-carbohydrate):

For breakfast, children over 1 year old can prepare milk porridge, cottage cheese, an omelet (after 1.5 years), or a hard-boiled egg. You can serve milk soup with noodles. For drinks, you can make tea without sugar or rosehip infusion.

1st breakfast option: milk or dairy-free porridge + pieces of fruit or fruit puree (add to porridge or separately) + 1/2 boiled egg yolk.

The volume of porridge should be approximately 150-200 ml. Add 5g butter to the porridge.
Drinks: Tea, fruit infusion, juice.

More details about porridges: At this age, you can introduce new porridges into the baby’s diet - multi-grain, barley, rye and other special porridges for baby food. From 1.5 years you can switch to adult porridges - oatmeal, wheat, millet, etc.

The healthiest oatmeal is made from whole grains. Next comes wheat porridge, which is made from millet; buckwheat and rice porridge, made from brown rice.

The easiest way to cook tasty and HEALTHY porridge without resorting to a long cooking process is to soak it (this applies to whole grain cereals). Take a saucepan, pour in the cereal and fill it with the required amount of water. After some time, the cereal will swell, become soft and all that remains is to boil it a little until it is completely cooked.
How to cook buckwheat porridge?

Rinse 1 cup of buckwheat with cold water, place in a saucepan and add 2 cups of water. After 2-3 hours, the cereal will absorb all the water, all that remains is to heat it up, boil for 2-3 minutes and add salt. Before serving, add butter or milk, although many experts believe that it is undesirable to combine milk with other products. In general, the choice is yours.
Oatmeal recipe

Just like buckwheat, we soak oatmeal (ideally, of course, it is better to use whole oats rather than oat flakes, but it is difficult to find whole oats on the shelves, so we take ordinary Hercules oat flakes, with the cooking time indicated on the label: 20- 25 minutes) in the required amount of water. For example, pour 1 glass of oatmeal with 2-3 glasses of water and leave to swell for 3 hours. This is very convenient if you want to cook porridge in the morning and quickly - by morning it will completely absorb the moisture and become soft. After this, put the porridge on the fire, bring to a boil and add 1 glass of milk. Boil over low heat for 10 minutes. Salt and add a little sugar or honey. Close the lid and let it brew for a few minutes. Season with butter and invite the children to the table.

You can cook millet porridge using the same principle.

2nd breakfast option: cottage cheese 70 g (no more) + pieces of fruit or fruit puree + drinks.

3rd breakfast option: (for a child over 1.5 years old): Steamed omelette. For the omelette, a piece of bread spread with butter or cheese. A baby from one to one and a half years old can receive up to 15-20 g of oil per day. For a child of this age, it is better to choose white bread, it is easier to digest (up to 40g per day)
Drinks: Kissel or compote.
II Breakfast

As a second breakfast, for a child under one year old, you can offer fruit juice, compote (rosehip infusion, apple compote, and later dried fruit compote), or fruit puree. Thus, the production of gastric juice is stimulated and thirst quenched before lunch.
Dinner

For starters: salad or soup.
Vegetable salad, for example, from cucumbers or tomatoes, or carrots, grated and seasoned with vegetable oil (5-7g) or sour cream (5-10g).

Vegetable salads can be prepared from boiled potatoes, carrots (raw and boiled), cabbage, boiled beets, zucchini (stewed), pumpkin and tomatoes. You can add boiled egg yolk to them.

Use fresh vegetables as widely 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 given not only for lunch, but also for breakfast and dinner.

Soups:
Milk with vermicelli. Remember: it is not recommended to give pasta to your baby often, about once a week and in small quantities (30-35g).
Vegetable (from cauliflower, cabbage soup, borscht, etc., including pureed soups).
Soup with meat or fish broth (broth content per serving of soup - 30-40 ml) + (for the second) vegetable dish with meat, if the soup was without meat.

For the second:
Vegetable puree. By the age of one, you can already eat vegetables such as beets, turnips, green peas, radishes, beans, radishes, green onions, garlic, leafy greens (dill, parsley, sorrel, spinach, lettuce, nettles), white cabbage, carrots, zucchini , pumpkin, cauliflower, onions.
+
Meat dish. Among meat products, children over one year old are recommended, along with beef, to eat chicken, chicken, rabbit, lean pork and lamb, and various offal. Remember that the meat should be cooked separately. Meat puree, meatballs or soufflé. Liver is very useful for a child; it is better to give it in the form of a pate. It is good to add a mild sauce to meat dishes (toasted flour, diluted with broth and seasoned with cream or sour cream). A vegetable side dish is better.
Do not overuse potatoes, they have a high starch content.

Drinks: Compote or jelly, fruit tea or juice.

You can alternate between meat and fish dishes, but remember that it’s a good idea to have a vegetarian lunch for your baby 1-2 times a week. It is recommended to make vegetable purees from cauliflower, white cabbage, zucchini, potatoes, carrots and green peas.

Once or twice a week, instead of meat, you can give your baby river or sea fish. Definitely not fatty varieties: pollock, cod, greenling, hake. Fish dishes - boiled sea fish or baked, boiled fillet with bones carefully removed, chopped and made into cutlets, soufflé or mixed with vegetables. A child is allowed up to 80 grams of fish per week.
Afternoon snack

Kefir, yogurt, milk, crackers, cottage cheese (if not served for breakfast), fruit - at your discretion, or, for example, fruit salad.

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

Starting from 1.5 years - pancakes and pancakes with cottage cheese, in small portions.

Drinks: juice, fruit tea.
Dinner

For dinner, you can offer a vegetable-cereal or vegetable-meat dish. For example: zucchini soufflé with meat puree, oatmeal porridge with pumpkin, stewed beets with apples, vegetable stew with meat puree. Plus fruit puree or juice (a child is offered no more than 100g of fruit puree and no more than 100ml of juice per day). But it is better not to give meat products and cereals often at night.

Modern manufacturers of baby food offer ready-made dishes from vegetables and grains, which are designed for children over 1 year old. Make an omelet for dinner if you didn't serve it for breakfast, or boil noodles. As a drink, you can offer your child something from dairy: milk, kefir, etc.

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

At this age, the child begins to wean off breastfeeding - the number of feedings is 1-2 per day. You should not put your baby to your breast just before falling asleep. At this time, it is advisable to gradually teach the child to fall asleep on his own, without breastfeeding and rocking.

At this age, your baby’s diet should not include: cakes, pastries, chocolates, no matter how much you want to pamper your little one. This does not mean that you can pamper your child; choose from sweets: marshmallows, jams, marmalade, preserves (if they contain fructose).

Important to remember.

There is a basic rule: a child from one to one and a half years old should be fed four to five times a day, with intervals between feedings of 4 hours. Follow a fairly strict diet; the baby should develop a conditioned reflex.

Make sure your child receives the appropriate amount of food 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).
Reducing the amount of food can lead to malnutrition, and exceeding it can lead to decreased appetite. It is especially irrational to increase the volume of the first course, which parents often do 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.

Approximate one-time volume of food (in grams), recommended for children aged 1 to 1.5 years. Daily volume of food - 1200-1250 ml... Calorie content of the daily diet - 1200 kcal

Breakfast: Porridge or vegetable dish (150 g); meat or fish dish, or omelette (50 g); Milk (100 ml)

Lunch: Soup (50 g); meat or fish dish (50 g); side dish (70 g); fruit juice (100 ml)

Afternoon snack: Kefir or milk (150 ml); cookies (15 g); fruit (100 g)

Dinner: Vegetable dish or porridge, or cottage cheese casserole (150 g); milk or kefir (150 ml)

Sample menu for 1 day:

Breakfast: Milk porridge with fruit; Bread

Lunch: Vegetable puree soup; vegetable puree from cauliflower with meat; biscuits; Fruit juice.

Afternoon snack: Yogurt or biokefir; children's cookies.

Dinner: Cottage cheese or milk; fruit or vegetable puree.

At night: Kefir.

To preserve the nutritional value of products, it is necessary to strictly follow the rules of their culinary processing.

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

After thorough mechanical cleaning, it is better to cook the meat in large pieces, immersing it in hot water. At the same time, the proteins coagulate on the surface of the meat and the meat juice does not flow out. Meat and cutlets should be fried in boiling fat, which also promotes the formation of a crust that retains the meat juice. The stew is prepared by lightly frying and then boiling in a small amount of water.

It is very important to process vegetables correctly. When cleaning, cut off as thin a layer as possible; it is in the upper layers that contain the largest amount of vitamins. For vinaigrettes and salads, it is better to boil vegetables in their skins in a small amount of water or steam them. Peeled vegetables should not be left in water for a long time to prevent leaching of vitamins and minerals, but they should be boiled in a small amount of water, then used for food. 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 (grated) immediately before eating, since when peeled and crushed foods are exposed to air oxygen, vitamins in them are destroyed, especially ascorbic acid.

Mommies, follow the rules for introducing new products, monitor the cleanliness and freshness of the products. Also, keep your hands and your baby’s hands clean, as well as your child’s dishes, to avoid intestinal infections.
