After the celebration of the first birthday, the diet of the child expands significantly. During this period, breast milk and artificial mixture are no longer the basis of the menu, but can be included in it. Experts advise not to interrupt lactation, because even episodic breast attachments are useful for the baby. If complementary foods were started in a timely manner, then by 12 months the main food groups are already present in the crumbs nutrition. We will figure out how to properly compose a child’s menu at 1 year old, so that it is useful and varied.

Nutrition principles

The menu of a one-year-old child should be arranged in such a way that it consumes 1200-1250 ml of food per day. The optimal distribution of this volume:

• breakfast - 25%;
• lunch - 35%;
• afternoon tea - 15%;
• dinner - 25%.

The recommended number of meals is 4. In addition, you can have a snack between breakfast and lunch. It is important that at the age of 1-2 years, breaks between feedings should be no more than 4 hours. It is advisable to offer the crumbs food at about the same time. Thanks to this, he will develop a reflex: at certain hours, the digestive system will begin to synthesize juices and enzymes.

It is too early to transfer a child in 1-2 years to adult nutrition. Dishes should be given a porridge-like consistency. Some children have chewing teeth by the age of 12 months. In this case, the food can be cut into pieces up to 2-3 cm.

In many families, babies try to delight chocolates, cakes and cakes. However, such goodies are not useful due to the large amount of sugar and fat. It is better to give the child marmalade, candy, jam or jam.

Famous pediatrician E.O. Komarovsky insists that the introduction of any new products in the diet of crumbs should occur according to certain rules. You should start with a small amount - 5-10 g, but not for dinner, but in the morning. In the absence of negative reactions (rash, upset stools, abdominal pain), the volume can be doubled every day. You can not enter more than one product in 5-7 days.

Breakfast is the right start to the day.

Dear reader!

This article talks about typical ways to solve your questions, but each case is unique! If you want to know how to solve your particular problem - ask your question. It is fast and free.!

For breakfast, you can cook porridge in an amount of 150-200 ml. Better to boil it in water, and then add a little milk or a mixture. Variants of cereals suitable for a child older than 12 months:

• gluten-free - buckwheat, rice, corn;
• with gluten content (if there is no allergy to this protein) - oat, wheat, semolina.

Porridge can be supplemented with butter (5 g) and a half of chicken yolk. In addition, the baby should offer mashed fruit separately or as a “topping” for porridge.

The basis of breakfast in a child in 1.5-2 years can be not only porridge. Another option is steamed omelet (with proteins and yolks), as well as a sandwich with bread, butter and cheese. At this age, the baby can eat 15-20 g of butter per day, and bread - up to 40 g. It is better to choose products from white flour, as they are easier to digest.

  A child from year to year for breakfast is perfect children's sandwiches

A morning meal should definitely include a drink. Options are weak tea, fruit infusion, juice, compote, kissel.

Full lunch

The one-year-old's lunch includes three dishes - salad, soup and vegetable puree with meat or fish. At the beginning of the meal, crumbs can be offered raw vegetables, chopped or coarsely grated. Suitable cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, carrots. Salad can be seasoned with sour cream (5-10 g) or vegetable oil (5-7 g).

1. Milk noodles. Macaroni should not be given more than 1 time per week. The maximum quantity is 35 g.
2. Vegetable - recipes with any vegetables that the child is familiar with - borscht, cabbage soup, cauliflower soup and so on. Soups can be regular or mashed in liquid.

The second dish is mashed vegetables and meat. After 12 months, in addition to the usual potatoes, carrots, onions and various types of cabbage, you can add young peas, beets, beans, turnips in mashed potatoes.

Potatoes should account for no more than 1/3 of the second course. This vegetable is high in starch. It can provoke weight gain, increased gas formation in the intestines, problems with stools and allergies.

For a meat dish, veal, beef, rabbit are suitable. Possible options are meatballs, mashed potatoes, meatballs or souffle. It is better not to give bone or meat broths to your son or daughter. Meat should be boiled separately. After a year, you can add chicken and offal to the diet - heart, tongue, liver. Fatty and difficult to digest meat varieties (pork, duck, goose, lamb) are not recommended for children under 2-3 years old. In addition, it is not yet time to introduce the crumbs to sausages.

After a year, the menu should be diversified with fish (river or sea) with a low fat content. Alaska pollock and hake will do. A day you can give crumbs 25-30 g. The best option is to cook fish 2 times a week, offering the child portions of 70-80 g.

Supplement the lunch with jelly, compote or juice. The juice may be freshly squeezed or industrial. In the latter case, you need to choose sterilized drinks for children under 3 years.

Snack after sleep

  Kefir for a child - a healthy and tasty snack after a nap

The usual afternoon snack for a one-year-old child is cottage cheese and kefir. Variety of this meal will help cottage cheese dishes - soufflé, cottage cheese pancakes (with sour cream sauce), pancakes with cottage cheese. Pancakes should be offered no more than once every 7-10 days, closer to one and a half years, when the crumbs will have a sufficient number of teeth. An afternoon snack should also contain juice or fruit puree. Sometimes peanuts can be given biscuits.

It is important to choose fermented milk products correctly. In raw form, the child is allowed to offer only children's cottage cheese and kefir. Their production is strictly regulated and checked from the point of view of safety. Market, as well as ordinary cottage cheese from the store should be used in order to cook various dishes.

Healthy dinner

As a dinner, a one-year-old child will enjoy vegetable dishes along with meat or porridge. Options offered by nutritionists:

• mashed meat and zucchini souffle;
• oatmeal with pumpkin;
• vegetable stew and meatballs;
• stewed beets and apples.

Supplement - juice or fruit. In a 12-month-old baby’s menu, you can gradually include kiwi, gooseberries, citrus fruits, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, blackberries, cherries. The optimal daily amount of juice or puree is 100 g.

At night, the baby on breastfeeding should be fed breast milk, on artificial milk - with a mixture. An alternative is a fermented milk drink.

Allotment Menu

In order not to wonder what to feed the baby after 12 months every day, it is worth planning a weekly menu in the form of a table. This approach helps to save time, as well as to create a varied and balanced diet. A great helper for mom is a global network where you can find many recipes with photos.

E.O. Komarovsky does not advise trying to acquaint the baby with many new products during the second year of life. Care should be taken and selectivity, because his gastrointestinal tract is still very vulnerable.

The older our baby gets, the more products we can safely introduce into his diet, however, there are still a number of restrictions. From 1 year old, a children's menu should be varied, healthy and tasty, but he is far from an adult, as the baby’s body has not yet matured. From this article we will learn how to choose the right diet for children from 1.5 years, so that they ate with benefit and pleasure.

What should be on the plate of a little fidget after a year? We will analyze the most important principles of nutrition for children of this age.

Nutrition principles

4 meals a day

A child of this age should eat 4 times a day - this will allow him to form the right eating habits and observe the daily routine.

At breakfast, the baby should receive 25% of the total daily diet, at lunch - 35%, at dinner - 25%, and at noon - 15%. Such a distribution will teach him to continue to eat properly.

Food structure

Now that the child’s teeth are already significantly larger, it is not necessary to wipe or grind food in a blender, it will be enough to mash it with a fork or rub it on a coarse grater.

Soft foods such as bananas, berries, soft bread can be given whole, cut into slices.

Meat can now be offered not only in the form of mashed potatoes or soufflés, but cutlets, meatballs and meatballs.

Heat treatment

Fried foods in the diet are still unacceptable. It doesn’t matter what it is about, meat, cereals or vegetables, we cook them for a couple.

So, let’s look at specific examples of what breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner should look like for children aged 1.5 years.

Breakfast

As we remember, it should be sufficiently high-calorie, protein-carbohydrate. The best way is to cook porridge in milk or water.

In the children's menu from 1.5 years old there may be oatmeal, wheat porridge, buckwheat and millet. They are the most useful. As for rice, it is better to cook it less often, as it is unpolished, that is, brown for the baby's digestive tract is still rough, and white is less useful.

We offer you some sample breakfast options.

Option I - porridge

Millet

Prepare millet millet porridge. A serving should be approximately 150-170 ml.

To cook the most healthy porridge, it is necessary to cook it as little as possible, and for this it is enough to just soak the cereal for several hours or at night. Millet is the most dense and difficult to digest, so it makes sense to soak it in the evening.

• Pour 2 tbsp. cereals and leave overnight.
• In the morning, rinse the cereals, pour clean water so that it covers the millet less than half a finger, add salt and put on fire.
• As soon as the porridge boils, pour 2 tbsp. milk, add 1 tsp. sugar and cook another 5-7 minutes.
• We turn off the finished porridge, let stand for 5 to 10 minutes and serve. In a portion you can add 1 tsp. butter.

Instead of sugar, jam or jam can be used as a sweetener, but honey is still better to avoid honey - this is too allergenic a product.

Oatmeal

We prepare her children from 1.5 years old only from ordinary Hercules flakes. No instant cereals, as there is no longer any benefit in them, only extra sugar and preservatives. But if you want to cook it as quickly as possible, also soak 2 tbsp. cereal.

Pour them in a bucket with boiling water so that the water is flush with the grits, add salt and cover with a lid. Hold for about half an hour, pour 3-4 tbsp. milk and set on fire. Bring to a boil, everything, you can turn off the porridge, it’s ready!

We also season it with oil and either add 1 tsp. sugar or jam.

In addition, it is good to add fruit to oatmeal. It is better to do this 5 minutes before the end of cooking, and if the cereal has been soaked, then immediately after the porridge boils.

Children's curd

Choose a medium-fat product, 9 or 15%. Dietitians categorically do not recommend eating cottage cheese to children of 1.5 years old because of the too high fat content in it.

The portion should be approximately 100 - 150 g. You can use a child’s purchased curd. If desired, add fresh fruits to it: cut an apple, pear or banana into slices and mix.

If the child eats cottage cheese well, but avoids porridge, or vice versa, we will prepare an original breakfast, combining both ingredients.

Oatmeal curd

To begin with, grind 3-4 tbsp in a blender or coffee grinder oatmeal. This amount is enough for several servings.

Take 100 g of cottage cheese, add 1 tablespoon to it. the resulting oatmeal, sweeten at our discretion with sugar or jam, mix and serve! From such a curd mass, you can form a hedgehog or any other figure familiar to the baby.

It’s also good to add ¼ banana to the cottage cheese - you can just cut it or other seasonal fruits. Remember that for children from 1.5 years old, apples and pears should be grated.

Option III - Omelet

Since we still do not offer fried food for kids of this age, we will prepare the same omelet as for adults, but in a different way.

1. Mix in a plate 1 egg with 3 tbsp. milk, salt.
2. Then we take a small jar with a lid, grease the walls with vegetable oil, pour the egg mixture into it and put it in a pan with cold water. The level should correspond to the height of the omelet.
3. We put on the fire and close the pan with a lid. Cook the omelet after boiling for 20 minutes, turn it off, let it cool, without opening it and take it out. To do this, the jar needs to be shaken, then the omelet will slip out by itself.

If the baby loves this dish, you can begin to diversify its taste by adding grated vegetables: zucchini - literally 1 tablespoon per volume, broccoli or cauliflower.

In addition to this breakfast, you can offer a slice of bread and butter. From 1.5 years the child can already receive up to 15 - 20 g of this product per day. The best option would be a sandwich with white bread or a loaf, as rye varieties are digested much more difficult and can cause bloating.

Dinner

Lunch should have the largest amount of food, as we recall, so for starters you can offer your child a salad. The portion should be purely symbolic, so as not to interrupt the appetite in front of the main course, but fresh vegetables improve peristalsis and have a positive effect on the body as a whole, therefore salad should not be neglected either.

Well, if the child is not a hunter to the first courses, he will even more become a worthy alternative to soup.

Salad

In the summer we cook from seasonal vegetables - tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers. Finely chop everything or three on a grater. Serving should be about 1.5 tbsp, season with ½ tsp. vegetable oil or low-fat sour cream.

In winter and autumn, we make salads from boiled beets, Beijing cabbage (very finely chopped) and carrots. It is better to leave the white-headed one until 2 years old - its fibers are too coarse.

First course

From 1 year old, the children's menu involves the preparation of soups, both on vegetable and meat broths, so we can safely choose what the child likes. The main condition is if the first vegetable, the second must contain animal protein.

Option 1 - beetroot soup with rice

Thanks to the vegetables, it combines the quality of the salad.

• To prepare 2 servings, take a slice of chicken fillet 60 - 70 g. Pour 2 cups of filtered water and put on fire.
• Meanwhile, three grated 30 g of raw beets (3 x 2 cm squash), peel ½ medium tomato and finely chop together with ¼ bell pepper.
• As soon as the chicken begins to boil, salt it to taste and, after waiting 10 minutes, send the vegetables to the broth. There we put ½ tablespoon of white rice. Cook until the cereals are ready.
• Cut the meat into small pieces and serve, seasoning 1 tsp of low-fat sour cream or the same amount of olive oil.

Option 2 - fish soup with cauliflower

We choose the filet at our discretion: pangasius, tilapia or sea language. We will need 60 - 70 g. Pour 2 cups of water and put on fire.

1 large cauliflower inflorescence (50 g) is well washed and finely chopped. We also chop ¼ a small onion and the same amount of bell pepper.

As soon as the fish boils, we send the vegetables to it and add salt. Cook until cauliflower is cooked.

If desired, ½ tablespoon can be added to this soup. Vermicelli "Spider Web", so it will become more satisfying, but remember that more often 2-3 times a week a child 1.5 years old should not give pasta.

Second course

You should not often choose potatoes - it contains too much starch, it is better to accustom the baby to stew from other vegetables. At this age, he can already eat zucchini, broccoli, carrots, onions, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes and bell peppers - there will be plenty to choose from!

We also prepare side dishes from cereals.

Option 1 - vegetable stew with rice and egg

For 2 servings we will need: 100 g of zucchini, 30 g of carrots, 20 g of onions, 30 g of bell pepper and 60-70 g of broccoli. Finely chop everything and put it in a small saucepan. There we add ½ tbsp. rice, salt and pour 1/3 cup of milk.

Stew until the cereal is ready and at the end of cooking pour in a whipped separately raw chicken egg. Stir the stew several times to make the egg cook faster, turn it off and serve.

In this dish, as you see, the vegetable and protein components are combined.

Option 2 - liver souffle with vegetables

To make soufflé we need turkey liver or chicken - they are more delicate and softer in taste than beef.

We send 200 g of liver to the blender, crumb from one slice of white bread, 50 ml of milk and 1 egg. Whisk well until smooth. Salt, mix again and lay out on silicone molds, filling them in 2/3.

We bake the souffle or in the multiquark on the “steam cooking” mode, in the microwave (2-3 minutes) or in the oven. To do this, put the mold in a baking sheet filled with water to half and cook at 180 ° C for 20 minutes.

Serve with vegetable stew from the previous recipe, but without rice and eggs.

Compote

Children in a year and a half are very fond of dried fruit compote. We make it almost savory, as the taste will be very saturated anyway.

• For a liter of drink, we need 50 g of dried apricots, prunes and raisins.
• We thoroughly rinse everything in a colander, pour 1 liter of filtered water and put on fire.
• Cook for half an hour after boiling, pour a couple of teaspoons of sugar and cook for another 10 minutes, try for sugar, if not enough, add a little more and turn it off.

Serve cooled.

High tea

For an intermediate meal, we offer the baby something light, like fruits - 1-2 slices of apple, sushi or unsweetened cookies.

It is better to refrain from confectionery products such as cakes and chocolate cookies, since they can cause allergies at 1.5 years.

And you can cook a wonderful carrot casserole, older children will also appreciate it, so do more.

1. 200 g of three carrots on a fine or coarse grater and simmer with the addition of 2 tsp. butter over low heat along with 20 g of semolina, making sure that they do not brown, but simply cooked.
2. If necessary, add water.
3. Let cool and drive 1 egg.
4. Mix, spread 80 - 100 g of cottage cheese.
5. Sugar to taste, bother again.
6. We spread the mixture on a greased pan, a baking sheet or fill it with silicone molds and send it to bake for 25-30 minutes at 180 ° C.

Serve the finished casserole with sour cream and jam.

Dinner

For dinner, the portion in the children's menu at 1.5 years old should be small, but high in calories.

Option 1 - fish pilaf

We choose the fish fillet based on the tastes of the child, remembering that it should not be fat and bony.

• ½ medium carrots, three on a grater, ½ onions finely chopped.
• In a small deep frying pan or pan, warm 2 tsp. olive oil and spread vegetables to it, salt.
• Hold them, stir 5-7 minutes.

While they are preparing, cut into pieces 100 g of fish fillet. We send to vegetables, mix. Rinse 50 g of round rice well and spread it in a pan. Fill with water on the finger and close.

Cook over low heat until rice is cooked. If necessary, add water.

Serve sprinkled with herbs.

Option 2 - turkey cutlets with buckwheat

• We cut 200 g of fillet into cubes and put in a blender bowl together with 2 quail eggs (or ½ chicken), 1 tbsp. breadcrumbs and 1/3 chopped onions.
• Grind everything, add a little milk if necessary, salt.
• We give the forcemeat to brew for 15 to 20 minutes and form the patties.

You can cook them in a double boiler, slow cooker (“steamed” mode) or in the oven - a children's menu from 1.5 years old does not prohibit this. Serve with buckwheat.

You see how delicious and interesting your baby’s nutrition can be! The children's menu from 1 year is very diverse. Cook and delight the little one with new tastes!

When the child is 1 year old, if possible, his menu should still include breast milk, at least 1 time per day or at night. It contains antibodies that help fight infectious diseases, and in the second year of life, mother’s breasts play a role not so much “nutritious” as protecting: the baby feels a sense of peace and security. Mom will produce exactly the amount that the baby needs, because breast milk is ideally tailored to his needs, including his unique nutritional and protective properties, so it’s impossible to overeat.

Feeding with milk mixtures, if the baby was breast-fed plus lures for up to a year, you need to finish it slowly, since the mixture does not have such useful characteristics as breast milk. Most often, pediatricians recommend including a mixture of 1 to 2 times a day in a child’s menu at 1 year old: in the morning and at night, strictly observing the norm indicated on the package for this age.

What dairy products can a child eat in 1 year

Dairy products are rich in proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, therefore, they are simply necessary for the child. Introducing boiled cow's milk into the menu for 1 year is an individual decision made by the mother with the participation of a pediatrician and in the absence of an allergy to cow's milk protein in the child. Many pediatricians, because of the risk of such an allergy, are advised to try whole milk only after 2 years, and before this age they are advised to give the mixture 1 time per day.

About kefir

The Institute of Nutrition RAMS recommends introducing kefir just at the age of 1 year, or at least not earlier than when the child is 9-10 months old and in a volume not exceeding 150-200 ml per day. Kefir has a high acidity, so the use of large doses at an early age can lead to microscopic hemorrhages in the intestine, and a decrease in hemoglobin level. So, kefir from 1 year to 200 ml per day (not more) improves the work of the heart, blood vessels of the baby, calms the nervous system, activates the kidneys and intestines, improves immunity, thanks to the lactic acid and bifidobacteria contained in it.

About yogurt

Yoghurts are made with leaven of Bulgarian sticks and thermophilic streptococcus, in other words, with lactic acid cultures that give yoghurts a unique taste and usefulness. But only live yoghurts that are not cooked are useful. How to find out: the maximum shelf life is 30 days at a temperature of +2 to +8 degrees, they contain minerals, vitamins and bacteria. Yoghurts do not contain long-term storage of bacteria, but they are replete with preservatives and aromatic additives, due to which they can lie in their original form for up to 3 months without a refrigerator.

In a 1-year-old child’s menu, one should include “live” milk (not creamy!) Yogurt produced by a special baby food company. Such yogurt is stored for only a few days and contains a small amount of carbohydrates and fats.

About cottage cheese

The rate of consumption of cottage cheese in 1 year is 50 grams per day. Cottage cheese is useful as a storehouse of protein and calcium, but the norm should not be exceeded, since excess protein can cause a decrease in appetite and, in rare cases, obesity.

After a day or two, you can give the child a small amount of sour cream, finely grated cheese or cream.

What cereals can I eat a one-year-old child

Porridge contains carbohydrates, minerals, vegetable proteins, and vitamins. The most useful in this regard are buckwheat and oat, pulp and corn - a source of selenium.

Dress the salad with low-fat sour cream, garnish with a sprig of greens and sprinkle with pine nuts. However, it is worth remembering: although beets are incredibly useful, it contains quite coarse fiber, and its mineral composition greatly stresses the baby's kidneys.

Onions can also be purple! Moreover, it is more sweet and in small quantities suitable for children's dishes.

Vegetable rainbow on a plate

In cooking, you can use several colorful vegetables. Bake them according to the principle of ratatouille: lay in layers layers of zucchini, tomato, sweet pepper, carrots and onions. If desired, between the layers of vegetables, you can put a layer of minced meat - chicken or meat.

A side dish of rice will be tastier if you add finely chopped slices of red, yellow, green sweet pepper, previously sassed in olive oil. The side dish will turn out bright, mouth-watering and unusual!

Bright vegetables can "tint" any familiar dish. For example, add a little shredded greens to the cottage cheese, slightly salt, and you get a curd mass of green. Only now it’s better not to eat it with a spoon, but spread it on a piece of bread.

In general, show imagination, create every day. And not only cook, but also eat tasty and healthy vegetables and fruits with pleasure. After all, a child learns everything by observing his parents. And if you yourself love vegetables, then your child will eat them both cheeks.
