Baby Nutrition Recipe Feeding Guide

As the baby's deciduous teeth gradually erupt, the baby's chewing, digestion and absorption functions have become much more mature than before. Therefore, there are some slight changes in feeding compared to when the baby is one year old. You may change the number of meals for the child to 5 times a day, and add a snack in the morning and afternoon between the normal 3 meals. You can also continue to feed an egg and 250 grams of milk every day. At this stage, the baby's diet should be arranged as diverse as possible, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and alternating coarse and fine grains, to ensure that the baby can take in enough protein, fat, sugar, vitamins, minerals and other comprehensive nutrients every day.

Special attention should be paid to cultivating good eating habits for children during this stage, so that the baby can maintain a good appetite, avoid picky eating, and prevent eating too many snacks every day. Most malnutrition in infants and young children is due to bad eating habits, which results in the nutritional components of the food intake being not comprehensive and balanced, affecting the child's normal growth and development.

In order to ensure that the baby can take in vitamin C, carotene, calcium, iron, phosphorus, etc. required for growth and development every day, the child should be fed with more yellow and green fresh vegetables, such as rape, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, etc. Although the vitamins and minerals contained in vegetables such as radish, cabbage, mustard head, and potatoes are lower than those in yellow and green vegetables, they also contain nutrients that are indispensable to the human body. When formulating a daily diet, you should consider giving your baby a certain amount of water. Fruits that contain more vitamin C include citrus fruits, dates, hawthorn, kiwi fruit, strawberries, etc. In addition, you still need to take cod liver oil twice a day, 3 drops each time. Take calcium tablets twice a day, 1 gram each time.
