When a baby is two years old, it is the period of growing and learning to walk, so the child’s physical health and nutritional intake are very important at this time. It is very helpful for mothers to prepare some nutritious food for their children when they are two years old to help them grow faster. Today, the editor recommends several healthy recipes suitable for two-year-old babies.

1. Foods high in calcium. In spring, the baby's growth and development speed accelerates, and the body's demand for calcium also increases accordingly. The baby's diet should include more dairy products, soy products, fish, shrimp, sesame and seafood. In order to ensure the absorption of calcium, in addition to letting your baby go outdoors to bask in the sun more often, you should also pay attention to providing foods rich in vitamin D, such as eggs, milk, animal liver, seafood, etc.

2. Foods with high water content. In spring, the weather is dry, which can easily lead to water loss in the baby's body. In addition to supplementing the baby with more liquids such as boiled water or vegetable water, the baby should also eat more foods with high water content, such as radish, winter melon, water chestnut, lettuce and other vegetables, and appropriately increase porridge and soup foods.

3. Foods rich in vitamin B. The weather is dry in spring, with a large temperature difference between morning and evening, making it easy to get respiratory diseases. Eating more foods rich in B vitamins is very beneficial for protecting the respiratory mucosa. You can add some vegetables rich in B vitamins to your baby's diet, such as rapeseed, spinach and other dark green leafy vegetables, and eat some whole grains. Many whole grains are rich in vitamins B1 and B2. Eating more whole grains can also help relieve constipation, which is common in spring.

4. Foods rich in protein. As the baby's growth and development speed increases, the demand for high-quality protein by organs and tissues also increases. Therefore, you should add some eggs, dairy products, lean meat, fish and shrimp than usual, and pair them with appropriate amount of soy products.

They should pay attention to eating more foods rich in calcium, such as milk and dairy products, soy products, bone soup, fish, shrimp, sesame, etc. Soft tofu is also rich in calcium. Small shrimp skins are "calcium storage warehouses" and can be put into soup or made into wonton fillings, and their calcium supplement effects are just as good. In addition, your baby should be allowed to go outdoors and get more sun exposure to supplement vitamin D and promote calcium absorption.

6. Supplement foods containing "unsaturated fatty acids": Babies' growth accelerates in spring and their brain development is at its peak, so "unsaturated fatty acids" need to be supplemented in time. Babies should be fed more foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as walnuts, tea oil, olive oil, sesame, rabbit meat, fresh scallops, peanuts, etc. The fish meat is delicious and rich in "brain gold". It can be steamed or stewed, but do not fry it, otherwise the nutrients will be lost.

Eat some nourishing foods appropriately: Give your baby some "medicine and food" foods, such as red dates, longan meat, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, wolfberry, yam, millet, walnut meat, etc. These foods are rich in nutrients, sweet and flat in nature, with few side effects, and are suitable for weak and sick babies.
