3-year-old baby diet principles

1. What foods are indispensable in the diet?

Babies over one year old may not be able to get enough protein from solid food. They should also pay attention to milk intake, which is still one of their important sources of nutrition. The authoritative pediatric organization in the United States recommends that the ratio of milk to solid food should be 40:60. According to this ratio, babies need to be provided with about 500 ml of milk every day.

2. How to choose food varieties

After the age of 1, the baby still needs a variety of nutrients for physical growth and development. To ensure adequate nutrient intake, the baby must be provided with a variety of foods. Therefore, the food for the baby should be properly matched, with both dry and liquid foods, both meat and vegetables, and the meals should be diversified and not repeated every day.

3. How should the nutritional ratio of each meal be matched?

According to the nutritional ratio of eating a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a small dinner, the food should be reasonably arranged in each meal. The proportion of total calories in each meal is generally 25-30% for breakfast, 40% for lunch, 10-15% for lunch, and 20-30% for dinner. In order to meet the heat energy and nutrition required for the baby's morning activities, in addition to the staple food, breakfast should also add some milk, eggs, bean products, vegetables, meat and other foods. The amount of food eaten at lunch should be higher than that of other meals. In addition, the baby's body has a great demand for protein, so more protein needs to be supplemented.

4. What are the characteristics of food preparation?

As they grow older, babies' teeth gradually come out, but their gastrointestinal digestive ability is still relatively weak. Therefore, when preparing food, we must pay attention to making it soft, rotten, and broken into pieces to suit the baby's digestive ability.

5. How many meals a day is more scientific

A baby's stomach is smaller than an adult's, so they can't eat as much as an adult in one meal. On the other hand, babies have a greater nutritional demand than adults, so they should not eat three meals a day like adults do, but should eat more often.

6. What kind of flavor is more suitable for babies?

When preparing food for babies, you cannot cook it according to the taste preferences of adults, but should keep it natural and light. Adding too much salt and sugar will increase the burden on the baby's kidneys, damage their function, and develop bad habits of salt or sugar addiction in the future; adding seasonings, MSG and artificial colors is especially inappropriate, as this will affect the baby's health.

7. Why should you let your baby eat with your family?

If you let your baby eat with your family, not only can they get the necessary nutrition, but they can also learn some common sense about balanced nutrition and how to share food with others, which is very helpful in helping your baby develop good dining habits.

8. How to cook food suitable for babies

When cooking food for your baby, you should not only pay attention to the baby's digestive function, that is, making it fine, soft, rotten and tender, but also pay attention to the reasonable combination of dry and liquid, sweet and salty, meat and vegetables to ensure that you can provide your baby with balanced nutrition. In addition, you should also pay attention to the color, aroma and taste of the food to increase your baby's appetite.
