How to make meals for one-year-old babies

The food you feed your baby must be carefully selected, especially for one-year-old babies whose stomachs are more fragile. They should eat well to nourish their stomachs, so as to reduce the possibility of stomach problems in the future. When cooking for your baby, you must pay attention to balanced nutrition. At the same time, the food must be colorful, fragrant and delicious to make your baby interested in the food and fall in love with eating. The following will teach you how to cook meals for one-year-old babies.

Most foods can be fed to one-year-old babies. When designing the baby's menu, you should make sure it includes cereals, vegetables, fruits, meat, poultry eggs, etc. As the baby's chewing ability improves, it is important to pay attention to controlling the baby's mealtimes and eating habits in order to cultivate good eating habits in the baby. For example, limit mealtimes to 20-30 minutes, let the baby sit in a high chair, and eat with adults. At the same time, remember the importance of fat to the growth and development of your baby, so it should be consumed in moderation during this period rather than restricted.

In the actual preparation of complementary food, parents can make some soft rice, steamed buns, biscuits, minced meat, chopped vegetables and fruits for the baby to enrich the food variety. You can also increase your baby's food intake appropriately, feed him 2-3 times of complementary food a day, replacing 1-2 times of breast milk, to supplement the nutrients needed for his physical development. However, the taste should not be too strong, and strong seasonings should be avoided to prevent the baby from developing a dislike for other foods.
