How to arrange the diet of a 1-year-old baby

We need to pay more attention to the baby's health, especially the diet, to avoid dangerous situations caused by diet problems. One-year-old babies in particular need to pay more attention to this aspect. If there is a problem, timely examination is required, especially the diet arrangement. So how should the diet of a one-year-old baby be arranged? Let me introduce it to you below.

1. The baby's stomach capacity is limited, so it is better to eat small meals frequently. Before the age of 18 months, you can give your baby two snacks in addition to the three meals, and the snack times can be in the afternoon and at night; after the age of 18 months, reduce it to one snack in the three meals, and the snack time can be in the afternoon. However, when adding snacks, you must pay attention to the following: first, the snacks should be moderate, not too much; second, the time should not be too close to the main meal so as not to affect the appetite for the main meal. You must not give your baby snacks at will, otherwise it will cause nutritional imbalance over time.

2. Eat more vegetables and fruits. One of the main sources of nutrition for babies every day is vegetables, especially orange-green vegetables, such as tomatoes, carrots, rapeseed, bell peppers, etc. You can process these vegetables into fine and soft chopped vegetables, stir-fry and season them, and mix them with rice to feed your baby. It should be noted that babies should also eat fruits, but fruits cannot replace vegetables. Babies aged 1 to 2 years old should eat a total of 150-250 grams of vegetables and fruits every day.

3. Consume animal and plant protein in moderation. Meat, fish, beans and eggs contain a lot of high-quality protein. You can use these foods to make dumpling soup, or feed your baby easily digestible foods such as minced meat, fish balls, tofu, and egg custard. Babies aged 1 to 2 years should eat 40-50 grams of meat, 25-50 grams of soy products, and 1 egg every day.

4. Milk is rich in nutrients, especially calcium, which is easy for babies to absorb. Therefore, milk is still an indispensable food for babies during this period, and 250-500 ml of intake should be ensured every day. 5. Eat both coarse grains and fine grains to avoid vitamin B1 deficiency. The staple foods can be soft rice, porridge, small steamed buns, small wontons, small dumplings, small buns, etc. It doesn’t matter if you don’t eat too much. The daily intake is about 150 grams.

The above is my opinion on this issue that I would like to introduce to you. Babies can choose the above methods for diet, so as to avoid situations that affect the baby's physical health. Especially some babies with more fragile bodies need to pay more attention to this issue. The baby's parents must learn the nursing methods to provide care.
