The nutrition of a child of this age group differs from the diet of babies under one year old and is close in composition to the diet of adults. At this age, the crumbs develop a chewing apparatus, taste perception, and the activity of enzymes involved in digestion increases. All this makes it possible to make the baby's menu more varied in culinary processing, as well as in the composition and variety of dishes.
Instructions
Step 1
Milk and dairy products still play a huge role in your baby's nutrition. The baby's daily need for milk (including fermented milk mixtures) is about 600 ml.
Step 2
At this age, the baby can receive not only the yolk, but already a whole egg. But it must be borne in mind that you should not give more than half an egg per day. If this rate is exceeded, then the child may experience allergic reactions, hyperexcitability, and constipation.
Step 3
Fatty foods at an early age are best given in the form of vegetable and butter. The amount of butter per day is 15-17 g, and the amount of vegetable oil is 6-7 g.
Step 4
The protein part of the child's diet also consists of meat, fish and poultry, the assortment of which is becoming more diverse. For example, children can receive not only beef and veal, but also lean pork, rabbit, turkey, chicken and offal (liver, heart). Also, the baby can be given sausages, boiled sausage, wieners. The daily requirement for meat is 80 g. A child can receive fish 2-3 times a week instead of 25 g of meat products a day.
Step 5
With the use of vegetables and fruits, the digestibility of protein is significantly increased. The baby's diet can include not only fruit juices and vegetable purees that he received earlier, but also garden herbs - parsley, dill, sorrel, garlic, green onions, as well as coarser vegetables, such as radishes, radishes, etc. The recommended amount of vegetables is 350 g (including potatoes 120-170 g). The amount of fresh fruits and juices can be 150-300 g per day.
Step 6
It is very important not to exceed the consumption of sugar, the amount of which should be about 50 g per day. The number of confectionery products should be no more than 5-7 g per day, and cereals (now pearl barley, millet and pasta are added to them) -30 g.
