People are born healthy, but food makes them sick. Therefore, proper and balanced nutrition, practiced from early childhood, is the key to good health and proper all-round development. The first complementary foods are mainly introduced to the baby at 6 months, at the same time, "pedagogical feeding" is most often practiced. Its essence lies in accustoming the child to the correct fit at the table and holding any objects (spoons, forks).

The first "adult food" for the baby

In the period from 6 to 11 months, the child's diet is replenished almost every day. This is interesting for both parents and the baby, and, of course, extremely useful. The first complementary food can be mashed fruits and vegetables, lean meat, fish, cereals, cottage cheese dishes. At this time, the gastrointestinal tract adapts to solid food, thereby preparing for the assimilation of more "serious" food. Undoubtedly, it's time for mom to fully master and apply recipes for children for a year.

When and how much to feed the baby?

When your baby is one year old, you should make a choice between 5 and 4 meals a day. Due to the fact that it contains more satisfying foods, more often by the age of one and a half, he refuses the last meal. The “adult” four-time regimen is distributed in such a way that there are from 3 to 4 hours between meals. Experts say that this time is enough for the food to digest. It is important not to deviate from the established schedule: the maximum error cannot exceed 30 minutes. Such accuracy contributes to the good functioning of the digestive system, excellent appetite and sufficient production of gastric juice. If there is no schedule as such, then the level of juice produced is very small, it does not cope with the food consumed and leads to problems with the stool. Adults are recommended to have snacks, but what to feed a one-year-old baby between main meals? Juices, dairy products, fruits and sweets spoil the baby's appetite and reduce the production of gastric juice. Therefore, you should not sacrifice your baby's health for the sake of a moment of weakness to treat him to something delicious.

Daily norms in the diet of a one-year-old baby

Tracking the calorie content of foods and the daily intake of proteins, fats and carbohydrates is an important aspect of a healthy diet. When adding dishes for a one-year-old child to the daily diet, pay attention to the following: the amount of food for a child from 12 to 18 months should not exceed 1200 ml, and the calorie content should not exceed 1300 kcal. Distributing them evenly throughout the day is quite simple: 25% should be for breakfast and dinner, 35% for lunch, and the remaining 15% for afternoon tea. As for the weight of the child, 4 g of proteins, 4 g of fats, and 16 g of carbohydrates are required per 1 kg. It is also worth distributing animals and their ratio in the child's diet should be 70:30.

How to surprise the baby at the table?

Dishes for a 1-year-old child are somewhat different from those that you prepared for him earlier. First of all, this is a larger range of products, as well as a change in the way they are prepared, arranged, and the degree of grinding. Do not forget about the interesting design of the served dishes, developing accompaniment and feeding in a playful way. Recipes for dishes for children for the year are quite diverse, so it will not be difficult for you to surprise and interest your baby every time.

First meals for babies

Soups for children 1 year old stimulate the active production of gastric juice, thereby paving the way for the proper assimilation of the second course. The variety of first courses has no boundaries: soups can be meat, fish, chicken, dairy, vegetable and even fruit.

Meat soups

Meat soups for children 1 year old are prepared on the basis of broth. For this, 1 kg of meat is taken, preferably lean, poured with 3 liters of water, salted and cooked over low heat. It is important to remove the resulting foam in time. At the same time, lightly fry the onions and carrots. When the meat is ready, it is put aside in another bowl, and roasted and greens are added to the broth. The broth is ready. Here are some soup recipes

Brussels sprout or cauliflower soup

Ingredients:

• beef broth;
• cabbage to choose from - 100 - 150 g;
• potatoes - 1 pc.;
• carrots - ½ pcs.;
• sour cream or butter - 1 tsp;
• greenery;
• salt.

Preparation: cabbage, potatoes, carrots are cut into cubes, poured with broth and simmered until tender. The slightly cooled mixture is crushed in a blender (if we are talking about puree soup), seasoned with sour cream (butter) and herbs.

Soup with meatballs

Ingredients:

• beef 100 g (required for broth and meatballs);
• white bread - 20 g;
• carrots - ½ pcs.;
• parsley root;
• egg - 1 pc.;
• onion;
• greenery;
• salt.

Preparation: chopped carrots are lowered into the prepared broth and Boiled beef, along with onions and bread, is passed through a meat grinder, salted, kneaded with half an egg and formed into balls. Meatballs are dipped into the broth and boiled for no more than 10 minutes. The soup is seasoned with herbs.

vegetable soups

Recipes for children 1 year old from vegetables are varied and healthy. For example, to prepare soups, you can use zucchini, spinach, peas, beans, carrots, potatoes. And this is not the whole list of vegetables.

Classic vegetable soup

Ingredients:

• zucchini, turnips, green beans, cauliflower - 25 g each;
• potatoes - 1 pc.;
• green peas - 1-2 tablespoons;
• onion - ½ pc.;
• milk - 100 g;
• butter - 1 tsp

Preparation: Rinse the vegetables well, cut into cubes, put in a saucepan and cover with water. Simmer over low heat until cooked, cool slightly, chop in a blender, season with oil and herbs.

Fish and chicken soups

Recipes for one-year-old babies based on chicken or fish broth must be included in the diet. The principle of their preparation is the same as that of meat first courses: ready-made broths are taken as the basis, cereals, dumplings, homemade noodles, vegetables, herbs are added to them - everything is at your discretion.

Second courses: nutrition of a one-year-old child

Air meringue

To prepare this unpretentious dessert, you will need 3 proteins, separated from the yolk with particular captiousness (this is the key to success in cooking), and 2 cups of sugar. The components must be folded into a tall bowl and beat thoroughly until a thick and dense homogeneous foam is obtained. You need to put the baking sheet with the “dough” in a cold oven, bake at a temperature of no more than 115 ° C for 40 minutes. You can’t immediately take the baking sheet out of the oven: you need to slightly open the door and let it cool in such conditions.

strawberry mousse

Light, airy and incredibly tasty dessert your baby will definitely like.

Ingredients:

• strawberries - 0.5 kg;
• water - 1/2 cup;
• semolina - 2 tablespoons;
• sugar - 2 tablespoons.

Preparation: rub the berries through a fine sieve. Pour the rest (cake) with water, add semolina and cook for about 10 minutes. Cool semolina and beat with a blender, gradually introducing sugar and mashed potatoes into it, resulting from rubbing. The lush mass is laid out in creams and put in the refrigerator until completely solidified.

If you do not want to bake, then the best option, quick and healthy, will be cottage cheese desserts prepared by yourself. To do this, you need to take homemade cottage cheese, a little sour cream and beat thoroughly, adding sugar, vanillin, fresh berries and fruits. You can also add honey, dried apricots and raisins.

The nutrition of the child after a year expands significantly. New products are added to the menu, new types of dishes appear. The baby no longer needs to be given heavily crushed food in the form of mashed potatoes. In a year, children eat food of a delicate texture with small pieces, which trains the child's skills and abilities to chew. You can safely add meatballs, finely chopped or coarsely grated vegetables and meat, cereals and pasta in their original form to dishes.

At the age of 1.5-2 years, the ingredients for the dish can be cut larger. Many experts recommend completely abandoning soufflé, cream and puree-like dishes. But it is still impossible to overload digestion at this age, so sometimes you should feed the baby with such food. Give the baby only stews or boiled dishes, bake food or steam it. In the article, we will consider a number of rules for catering for children and draw up a detailed menu for a child 1-2 years old.

Nutrition rules for a child 1-2 years old

• The menu of a child at 1-2 years old should consist of five meals. The norm of one meal is 250-300 grams;
• The child's daily diet must necessarily include vegetables and fruits, meat or fish, soup or broth;

• For dressing dishes, use low-fat sour cream or vegetable oil. Do not give children ketchup, mayonnaise;
• Add salt to the baby's food only slightly, if possible, it is better to do without salt at all. Salt food at the end of cooking;

• You can add bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and fresh cucumbers, legumes (peas, chickpeas, beans, beans, etc.), beets and white cabbage to vegetables;
• When introducing a new food or dish for the first time, wait a day or two after introducing it and observe your baby's reaction. If there is a violation of the stool or signs of an allergy, consult a doctor and wait a while with the inclusion of this food in the diet;
• Do not force your child to eat and do not teach children to eat behind the TV or at play. The kid should get hungry himself! And what to do if he does not want to eat, read.

How to make a diet for a child 1-2 years old

For breakfast or for the first meal, porridge, a sandwich with butter, cheese, boiled eggs, cottage cheese casserole are optimal. Lunch must include broth or soup, the norm of which for a baby under two years old is 100-130 ml per day. It can be a light vegetable soup, fish, pea or meat soup. For children older than a year, you can already give classic soups with finely chopped ingredients. However, pureed soups can also be given. Milk soups are best eaten for breakfast.

For second courses, rice, pasta, boiled vegetables or vegetable puree, as well as meatballs, meatballs or cutlets from meat or fish are prepared. There should be snacks between main meals. For this, fresh and baked fruits, vegetable salads, cookies, a glass of milk or fermented baked milk, yogurt, vegetable salads with vegetable oil,

For dinner, you can give your child stewed vegetables and vegetable casserole, scrambled eggs, pasta, cottage cheese. At this time, it is not recommended to eat milk porridge, meat and fish dishes. Thus, lunch should be the most nutritious and satisfying meal of the day. Breakfast and dinner should be about the same in calories. It is advisable to cook fresh food every time, as it loses its beneficial properties during storage. Next, we offer an approximate menu for children 1-2 years old.

I have been asked so many times about my favorite recipes for children's dishes that I already feel obliged to share them.

Over the past year, it has become a habit for me to daily play the role of Yulia Vysotskaya from the program “We Eat at Home” in the kitchen. Yana is ready to listen endlessly to my chatter about food processing technology and observe the process. The main thing in this matter is to organize a comfortable place for the viewer, and given the phenomenal perseverance of Yana, this is not at all difficult. For the previous month and a half, in addition to the role of Vysotskaya, I had the opportunity to perform the functions of a photographer. Our camera lived in the kitchen, and I caught good shots of my favorite dishes.

Menu for a child from 1 year old | Introduction

I really wanted to write for you the most delicious recipes for kids, but I'm afraid that this did not happen, because I am very picky about the degree of harmfulness of food. It turned out that I only had a couple of really tasty children's meals in stock, and everything else was basic healthy meals that for most may seem tasteless. After thinking, I decided that these useful recipes can also be useful to someone, because my cooking technology is not quite the usual, a little original and intuitive. Now it is fashionable to call the word "author's".

To many, our selection of recipes may seem strange 🙂, so I’ll immediately clarify my views on nutrition - I am of the opinion that animal food is harmful, therefore not a single recipe contains milk. It turned out to be easier for me to eliminate it from the diet than other animal products. Meat, liver, fish and eggs are still present in our diet, but are not a daily necessity. In the compilation you will find some of our favorite recipes, including some of them.

In addition to the usefulness of the dishes, the time that I have to spend on cooking is very important for me. I cook almost everything in the slow cooker. For me it is very convenient. Timed shutdown and automatic modes allow you to press the button and forget about the kitchen. While the pan on the stove literally chains to itself. When cooking on the stove, it is necessary to wait for a certain degree of boiling, then adjust the temperature to maintain it constantly and note the cooking time. In addition, the progressive multicooker allows you to set the temperature.

In the photo for the recipes, I tried to give the dishes an appetizing look, using delicious additions: raisins, green peas, etc. In fact, I only use these supplements when I've been denied food. I also want to add that Yana is small and unwilling, and all the recipes have been repeatedly tested on her.

I also want to note that I don’t add salt and sugar during the cooking process, because I don’t want to accustom Yana to bright tastes. Of course, this will inevitably happen in kindergarten, but let it happen later 😥 . Adults add spices to their plate.

Menu for a child from 1 year old | viscous cereals

In children, unlike adults, the stomach is very susceptible to the consistency of food. In addition to this, Yana has a peculiarity, she does not drink any drinks, even the most delicious and sweet ones. The maximum can take a couple of sips. That is why our entire diet is viscous and liquid. For breakfast, we usually have dairy-free porridge, which I cook in a slow cooker. Yana does not have a very positive attitude towards cereals, but with a handful of raisins the situation evens out. Here are a couple of recipes for cereals with vegetables:

Dairy-free oatmeal porridge with zucchini

This porridge can be introduced already in the first year of life, only in this case it is necessary to peel the apple.

Ingredients:
1 st. long-cooked hercules;
4 tbsp. water;
1 apple;
200 gr zucchini (pumpkin also goes well).

Cooking:
Three zucchini and an apple on a grater. We put all the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook in milk porridge mode. When serving, add oil.

Serving:
If your baby is unwilling, try to get interested in dried fruits (raisins, dried apricots, etc.).

Semolina porridge with vegetables

Ingredients:

• Carrots, beets or pumpkin - 600 gr;
• Semolina - 3-4 tbsp;
• Milk (I add water) - 125 gr;
• Oil 2 tbsp.

Grind vegetables on a grater. Add water and simmer for 15 minutes. Pour semolina in a thin stream and cook for another 5 minutes. When serving, season with oil.

Menu for a child from 1 year old | Soups

For lunch we usually have vegetable soups. Soups, unlike cereals, Yana respects and may even ask for an addition. If you are not a fan of vegetable soups, then you can add meat to any of them.

vegetable soup

Set of vegetables for soup. Homemade zucchini is not only a real rarity in the winter season, but also a rich source of nutrients!

The easiest way to introduce a stranger into your diet is to add him to your soup! Personally for myself, I discovered that any soup perfectly complements parsnips, celery and parsley root. By the way, zucchini is also great as an ingredient in soup.

So, vegetable soup:

Ingredients:
Several different fresh vegetables (prefer local ones) in the same proportions, with the exception of spice vegetables (onions, garlic and other vegetables with a rich taste). Vegetables and spices in small quantities. If you want to make the soup more high-calorie, add a handful of cereals (this is true if you are underweight). I took:

• 200 gr. cabbage;
• 200 gr. carrots;
  
• 200 gr. celery root;
• 200 gr. squash;
• small onion.
• 5 minutes before the end of cooking, add half a teaspoon of dill and a couple of bay leaves.

Cooking:

Option 1(the most common): onion, chop cabbage. Carrots, celery three on a grater. Zucchini cut into cubes. Pour all the ingredients with water and cook until tender.
Option 2(how I do it): I cut vegetables into large cubes - about 4x4 cm. I cook in a slow cooker in stewing mode for 1 hour. Grind cooked vegetables with the addition of broth in a blender chopper. I like the grainy consistency that is obtained in this way. The size of the resulting pieces is controlled by the speed and time of grinding. What is important - even cabbage after such grinding is completely placed in the mouth.
Option 3. Puree option - grind everything with a blender. If you do not adhere to vegetarian views, 100 gr. cream will significantly improve the taste (this is knowledge from a past life 🙂).

Serving:
If you do not adhere to vegetarian views, add sour cream, otherwise vegetable oil at the rate of 1 teaspoon per 1 serving.
If a non-hochuha refuses to eat soup, you can try to interest him by adding a spoonful of green peas.
For adults (taking into account our spoiled taste habits): I add salt, a spoonful of tomato paste or half a teaspoon of lemon juice - sourness greatly contributes to the taste of the dish.

Soup of the borscht family

Ingredients:
Beets and as many other vegetables as possible. I took:

• 200 gr beets;
• 300 gr potatoes;
• 3 00 gr. cabbage;
• 300 gr. carrots;
  
• 200 gr. string beans;
• 300 gr. squash;
• half an onion.

Option 1(the most common): onion, chop cabbage. Three beets, three carrots on a grater. We cut the beans into pieces 0.5-1 cm long. Pour all the ingredients with water and cook until tender.
Option 2(how I do it): I cut vegetables into large cubes - about 3x3 cm. I cook everything, with the exception of beans, in a slow cooker in stewing mode for 1 hour. Grind cooked vegetables with the addition of broth in a blender chopper. Beans boiled in
double boiler until tender and add to the soup at the serving stage.

Option 3. Puree option - grind everything with a blender.

Serving:
If you do not adhere to vegetarian views, add sour cream, otherwise vegetable oil.
If a non-hochuha refuses to eat soup, you can try to interest him by adding pieces of a boiled egg.

Soup with fish

Ingredients:

• steak of pink salmon, chum salmon or other red fish(I didn’t take into account that red fish is a strong allergen. Since we never had problems with this and this soup is in our adult diet, Yana has been eating it since the year. For moms who are more careful in the diet, it’s better to take white lean fish ( ));
• a couple of medium potatoes;
• a couple of medium carrots;
• a handful of green beans (can be replaced with a bunch of fresh dill);
  
• 1/3 cup rice (if you have a leftover side dish from a previous meal, you can use it - just add it to the soup at the very end);
• 5 minutes before the end of cooking, do not forget to add half a teaspoon of dill and a couple of bay leaves.

Cooking: cut carrots and potatoes into large pieces (as in the photo), cook in water until tender. It is this vegetable broth that will be used for the soup. In a slow cooker, cook rice as a side dish along with fish and beans (we steam fish and beans). When everything is cooked, we combine in a separate pan:

Puree option: this soup is also very good mashed. In this case, it is better to increase the amount of green ingredients (beans or fresh dill) or reduce the amount of carrots, otherwise the color will not be as beautiful as in the photo.

Menu for a child from 1 year old | side dishes

Our favorite side dishes:

• Viscous buckwheat porridge cooked on water from green buckwheat (I cook in a slow cooker on the “milk porridge” mode. Proportions: 1 tbsp. cereals - 4 tbsp. water.). In general, at this age, you can already give crumbly cereals, only with sauces (for example, gravy).
• A complex side dish of stewed zucchini or cabbage with carrots and rice.

Perfect mashed potatoes

• to make puree no lumps, do not rush - it is better to digest than not to cook;
• to puree didn't turn gray- add only hot milk or broth to it;
• to puree it was airy- potatoes should not be crushed, but beaten!

Little secret: Probably, each of us was disappointed at one time or another when we found out that the blender is not suitable for making mashed potatoes. It turns out that for these purposes you need to use a conventional mixer.

In the photo are not those nozzles! We take regular for whipping and we get guaranteed the most tender mashed potatoes, provided that the potatoes are cooked until tender.

After the mixer, not a single lump!

Menu for a child from 1 year old | Children's gravy - the main recipe

To maintain a viscous consistency of food in order to prevent digestive problems, sauces and gravies are indispensable. The technology for preparing children's sauces is different from the usual one - no frying and other procedures that enrich food with carcinogens.

Ingredients:

Cooking:

1. Remove skins from vegetables before chopping. To do this, heat treatment. I usually steam tomatoes and bell peppers for 10 minutes. After that, they are easily cleaned. Then, to obtain a puree, grind the vegetables with a blender.
2. Mix flour with a little water. Rub thoroughly until the lumps disappear.
3. Bring vegetable juice or puree with liquid to a boil. This is the base of the gravy.
4. While constantly stirring the solution of water with flour (I like to stir with a whisk), pour it into the boiling base of the gravy.
5. Add dill and bay leaf to the gravy and boil for another 10 minutes.
6. If, despite all the tricks, lumps form in the gravy, we filter.
7. Drizzle with butter, sour cream or cream and serve.

Gradually add flour and water to the tomato sauce, stirring constantly.

Bell pepper sauce goes well with boiled chicken with rice. I added a teaspoon of lemon juice to the adult version of this sauce.

Menu for a child from 1 year old | fish/meat/liver

Steam fish cakes

These cutlets are distinguished by tenderness and a very successful flavor combination.

Ingredients:

• 700 gr. (weight of thawed fish) - sole fillet;
• 350 gr carrots;
• 200 gr of bread.

Defrost the fillet, drain the water. We scroll all the ingredients in a meat grinder. Knead the minced meat - it should turn out
sticky and slightly viscous. If the minced meat is very thick and does not stick to your hands, then too much bread was added and the cutlets will not be so tender and tasty.
When forming cutlets, we moisten our hands with water so that the minced meat does not stick. Cook the formed cutlets for a couple of 25 minutes.

Serving:
Mashed potatoes or rice with steamed zucchini are ideal for a side dish.

Turkey or chicken meatballs

As a rule, poultry meatballs, if you do not add more fatty minced meat, are dry and not tasty. Fatty meat is not recommended in the diet of babies, so I suggest you make meatballs with cabbage in gravy.

Ingredients:

• 500 gr. fillet;
• 250 gr. cabbage;
• small onion;
• gravy.

Cooking:

Fillet, cabbage and onions are passed through a meat grinder. We knead the mince. Gravy is ready. Minced meat is soft and does not hold its shape well when raw, so we immediately lower the formed balls into boiling gravy. Cook for 25 minutes. Serve ready-made meatballs with a side dish - I have mashed potatoes.

Liver pate

Ingredients:

• 500 gr. chicken liver;
• 300 gr. carrots;
• small onion;
• Bay leaf.

Cooking:

1. Boil the liver, carrots and onions. Carrots and onions can be steamed. The liver is better in water with the addition of bay leaf.
2. Grind the boiled ingredients into a puree.
3. According to the original recipe, 50 g of butter should be added to the finished puree (I add 1 tsp of vegetable oil for 1 serving).
4. Serve with a side dish - this time I have buckwheat porridge.

This concludes the compilation, I hope you found interesting recipes and cooking methods in it! I will be glad if you share your hits.

The correct, timely development of the child is the goal of every mother. One of the components of success is a well-composed menu for a child at 1 year old. At this age, many children are already weaned, transferring to artificial feeding. If the mother still has enough breast milk and she decides to continue to feed her baby, then it is still necessary for the child to eat regular food, although, as experience shows, all children are different. There are times when a child does not want to eat regular food, preferring only breast milk even at that age.

What does the menu of a one-year-old child consist of

It should be noted that there are certain norms, but in life everything is completely different, since all children are different and the nutrition of the parents themselves is different. TO

So, it is believed that feeding a child at 1 year old is carried out 4-5 times a day. The interval between feedings should be no more than 4 hours. The total amount of food eaten is 1000-1200 ml, not counting the liquid. A similar diet should be maintained for children until they reach 1.5 years. In real life, few people will count these milliliters, accurately measure the time.

The diet of a child at 1 year old may consist of the following meals:

1. Breakfast (8:00);
2. Second breakfast (10:00);
3. Lunch (13:00);
4. Afternoon snack (16:00);
5. Dinner (19:00).

An approximate menu for a one-year-old baby can be represented by the following set of dishes:

1. Breakfast - porridge is best. Porridge can be made with a piece of butter or fruit. In a year, a baby can be given rice, buckwheat, oatmeal, corn, millet, semolina or multi-cereal porridge (if the cereals contained in it were given separately in advance). There are recommendations that after porridge you can give tea or compote, but personally I take this recommendation with great doubt, compote is still okay, water is okay, but why tea? To accustom a child to this drink, which does not bring much benefit to adults, except for creating the habit of drinking tea after eating, which leads to a deterioration in digestion processes, overeating bakery and confectionery products, creates problems with water in the body, and so on.
2. Second breakfast - children's yogurt and cookies, fruits. It is worth making sure that children's yogurt does not contain the entire periodic table. Carefully study the composition, the same applies to cookies. The best fruits, homemade cakes without yeast.
3. Lunch - vegetable salad, soup, meat dish with a side dish. The soup is cooked in vegetable broth. It can be beetroot, cabbage soup or noodle soup. As a meat dish, a child at 12 months old can be offered meatballs, steam cutlets or meatballs. 1-2 times a week, a meat dish can be replaced with a fish one. You should think about tea, compote or water. About meat and fish at this age - it is extremely individual. Our children are not accustomed from childhood to drink food and feel great, sometimes they ask for water after a meal, but rarely. For lunch, they eat soups with pleasure, they don’t want a salad, they can refuse the second one. Soup is usually sufficient.
4. Snack - cottage cheese, fruit or vegetable puree.
5. Dinner - vegetable and meat puree, steam omelette, millet porridge with pumpkin.

Each child is individual, but experience suggests that a lot depends on the parent. The formation of eating habits depends on what foods a parent begins to give to a child from a young age, what dishes are on the table, what food is at home in sight. Eating soups, vegetables, fruits - this is often just a habit, although there are children who will never eat any type of food, no matter how you force it.

We make the right menu for a child at 1 year old based on the recommendations of WHO and AKEV. What to feed the child? The most delicious recipes that can be for children from the age of one.

Recall that the following products should already be present in the diet of a one-year-old child:

• Cereals: rice, buckwheat, corn - gluten-free, oatmeal, wheat - gluten.

• Vegetables: zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, beets.

• Meat: rabbit, turkey, veal.

• Low-fat fish.

• Fruits: apple, pear, banana, prunes.

• Dairy and sour-milk: cottage cheese, kefir or narine, biolact, etc.

Products that can be introduced after a year

• Whole cow or goat milk should not be administered before 12-18 months of age. This is due to excess protein load, loss of iron through the intestines, the risk of allergic reactions, etc. Closer to a year, it is possible to add milk to cereals, but on condition that the child does not have an allergic reaction to cow protein.

After a year, you can enter milk porridge for breakfast and small portions adapted baby milk as a drink. Be sure to monitor the reaction of the child.

• Yolk. It has no significant nutritional value for infants in the amount that is given to the child. It is also a strong allergen. Therefore, it is better to introduce the yolk closer to the year or not to give the baby at all.

• Cucumber(grated without peel), Brusselscabbage.

• Gluten cereals (oatmeal and wheat).

• Beef. Hen.

• Peach, nectarine, apricot, berries by season.

Should not be fed to an infant meat and fish broths as a separate type of complementary food. They are an extract from products and have high allergenic properties and an irritating effect on the gastrointestinal tract of an infant. In addition, the calorie content of broths is close to zero.

Recipes for children from 1 year

Vegetable puree, vegetable soup. Thoroughly wash, clean and finely cut vegetables (zucchini (pre-cut seeds), potatoes (soak in advance), cauliflower, carrots, peas), cook for 30-40 minutes. Beat with a blender or just knead with a fork - you get mashed potatoes. We leave a little broth, add pureed meat - it turns out soup. Pieces of vegetables in the soup should be very soft (carrots and potatoes are cooked for a long time!), so that the child does not choke.

Soup with meatballs. For 2 servings: minced turkey 200 gr, carrots 150 gr, small pasta 50 gr, quail eggs 4 pcs, greens. We make small balls from minced meat, boil them for 20 minutes, drain the broth and pour clean water, add grated carrots, after 10 minutes pasta, 5 minutes before the end of the greens and raw eggs, break into a saucepan and mix quickly or boil in advance, cut and add. If desired, you can boil the soup and add broccoli or cauliflower.

Meatballs for a couple. Meatballs can be prepared from minced fish or chicken. Mix minced meat with a small amount of raw rice, add a little salt and an egg. Roll into small balls and place in a steamer. Cooking time is about 40 minutes.

Steam omelet. Beat one egg with a small amount of milk, pour into a container, put in a double boiler for 30 minutes. Divinely tender omelet for the baby is ready!

Cottage cheese. Boil milk (200 gr). Pour kefir (200 gr) into boiling milk. Keep on low heat until the whey begins to separate. Turn off, cool, recline on gauze. It turns out very tender, not sour cottage cheese.

Banana pudding. Banana cut into pieces, add crushed cookies, pour a glass of warm milk. Beat with a blender.

Cottage cheese casserole. We mix cottage cheese, a little sugar, an egg, semolina, vegetable oil, raisins and a pinch of salt. Put the resulting mass on a baking sheet, add sour cream on top. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes.

Liver pate with potatoes. Rinse the chicken liver, cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Rub, add a little milk or cream and mix with mashed potatoes.

Vegetable salad. Wash the tomatoes and cucumbers, separate the peel, grate, add a little sunflower oil.

Cooking fish for a couple or in the oven. We buy low-fat fish: hake, pollock, cod, haddock, telapia. For a child, it is better to buy fillets without bones. You can cook in a double boiler, boil or bake in the oven "under a fur coat." For a fur coat, three carrots, a little onion, mix with sour cream and spread on top of the fish. Bake in the oven for about 60 minutes.

Potato pjure with fish cake. We scroll the fish (preferably cod fillet and the like) in a meat grinder along with a loaf soaked in milk or water in advance, add an egg, a little onion, salt and herbs. We mix everything well and sculpt. You can roll in semolina, flour or crackers (optional!). And in a double boiler for 25-30 minutes. These meatballs can also be frozen.
