Probably every young mother has a question: how and what to feed her one-year-old child. After all, after his first birthday, he becomes more legible in food, but less hungry. Therefore, it's time to make some changes to the habitual regime and diet of your baby.
How many times and what should I feed a one-year-old child?
A child aged 1 to 1.5 years should eat five times a day. The baby should be fed simple food that does not cause allergies, while the main product is still milk. Some mothers continue to be breast-fed, and some use regular milk to make various cereals or vermicelli. Also every day a child should receive a portion of fermented milk products and cottage cheese, so necessary for bone growth. In addition, you can already offer the child a salad of fresh vegetables - carrots, cabbage, cucumbers. Certainly, it is not necessary to give the child smoked, fried dishes, as well as fatty, spicy and pickled food. One should carefully introduce red fruits and vegetables into the ration of a one-year-old child, and avoid allergen products: citrus, chocolate, honey, mushrooms.
