The child grows and develops rapidly, and in just a few months, most of the cells in his body are replaced. So for a child, his health mainly depends on the nutrition you provide him.
After the baby is 1 year old, how to eat nutritionally balanced?
1. Some mothers find that the amount of food for the baby becomes less after the age of one
A. This is a normal phenomenon or a "delusion" of the mother
On the one hand, the rate of weight gain of children begins to slow down, and the need for calories is relatively reduced. On the other hand, children gradually begin to eat foods with higher density, which may have been vegetable puree, and now may be a few pieces of chicken or a small amount of noodles, so mothers will have the illusion that their children are "eating less".
B. Wrong feeding methods
This situation requires parents to check the causes, such as too much milk, failure to introduce lumpy food in time and miss the ability to exercise chewing and swallowing, so mild anemia leads to poor appetite.
C. Self-awareness begins to germinate
When the baby is so old, he has begun to have clear preferences and want to show his "independence" anytime and anywhere. The child's appetite begins to be uncertain, manifested as a large meal to eat, a certain meal to eat two bites or not to eat; Or eat a favorite food for several consecutive meals, and then the next few meals do not eat the same food as before.
2. Pay attention to supplementing nutrition for children who are partial to food
With more and more prominent personalities, children's diets are becoming more and more personalized. Some babies can eat a bowl of rice, some babies only eat half a bowl; some babies love meat, some babies love to eat vegetables, and some babies love to drink milk.
This is all normal, and parents should respect their individuality and not force food. Recipes should be varied, and things that children don't like to eat should be made in a different way, or temporarily replaced by the same kind of ingredients.
A, do not like to drink milk
---- appropriate supplementation of meat and eggs, supplement protein
B, do not like to eat vegetables
---- eat more fruits and supplement vitamins
C. I don't like to eat meat
---- eat more soy products and supplement protein
3. How to ensure balanced nutrition every day
Children after the age of 1 can eat most adult foods, but pay attention to putting as few seasonings as possible. The amount of salt per day is less than 1.5 grams, the amount of oil is less than 15 grams, three meals a day, and one snack in the morning and once in the afternoon.
