You can plan a child’s daily menu of 1 year already taking into account the products that adult family members eat. Gradually transferring the baby to the common table, it is necessary to thoroughly think over the balanced and nutritious nutrition of the baby. The health and development of the little one directly depends on the correct diet.
The digestive system at the age of 12 months is able to assimilate new food, in the mouth there are already a number of teeth ready to chew it actively. So far, not all products can be introduced into the children's diet, but gradually there is no need to grind all the ingredients. It should be remembered that children of this age are already forming their taste preferences. They learn to choose on their own which dishes they like and which ones to refuse.
If the baby is still breastfed, do not deprive him of the nutrients found in breast milk. The feeding process provides the baby with a sense of security and close contact with a loved one. An evening serving of breast milk will help the baby fall asleep faster. Weaning from the breast should be done in stages, reducing the number of sessions to morning and evening, with a gradual complete rejection of breastfeeding.
The child’s diet at 1 year is almost unchanged. You should stick to a 4–5-time meal - every 3-4 hours. During this time, the baby will have time to get hungry. Allowed and 5-6 times feeding, taking into account attachment to the chest. Depending on the baby’s appetite, the mother will decide how many times a day to give him food. It is important not to violate the established regime for the proper functioning of the digestive system. From night feeding is gradually abandoned.
Morning awakening is accompanied by a gradual transfer from breast milk or infant formula to a full breakfast. Porridge remains the main product in the diet. In addition to the usual oat, buckwheat and rice porridge, you can offer corn or wheat, which are no less useful.
If necessary, milk porridge is replaced with water cooked. You can also use the vegetable broth.
The serving size of a one-year-old child is between 150 and 200 ml. 5 g of butter is put in the porridge. You can add chopped fruits to the plate, and separately cooked fruit puree is also suitable. Boiled yolk will complement the morning diet. Porridge can be replaced with steamed omelettes. For a sandwich with butter, you should choose wheat bread: products from rye flour can provoke fermentation processes in the intestine.
The diet for a 1 year old child includes up to 3 eggs per week. When calculating the norm, it should be remembered that the eggs are also present in the souffle, added to cutlets and cheesecakes. Drinks include juice or tea.
You can start dinner with salads made from fresh or boiled vegetables and leafy greens, seasoned with sour cream or sunflower oil. Soups or broths are prepared from sirloin lean meat. For dressing soups, vegetables, cereals and pasta are used. A one-year-old child can be given mashed soup made from vegetables, cabbage soup or borsch, milk soup, as well as soup with meat or fish meatballs.
What to cook for a child for the second? You can make a meat casserole. Meatballs, meatballs or zrazy are prepared as a second course using fish or meat. Vegetable puree is suitable for garnish. Calf and chicken liver dishes will help diversify the menu. These valuable products make delicious puddings and healthy pastes. You can finish the dinner with juice, jelly, compote of fresh fruits and berries or dried fruits.
After a afternoon nap, you can eat cottage cheese with sour cream or yogurt, cottage cheese, casseroles or milk souffle. To get enough phosphorus and calcium, you need 70 g of cottage cheese per day. Children will also be happy to eat mashed potatoes made from fresh fruits, or drink juice.
The kid’s dinner consists of vegetables with the addition of cereals or some meat. It can be pumpkin or carrot puree added to porridge, vegetable stew with meat. Berries or fruits complement the dinner. From drinks - juice or tea.
Before going to bed, crumbs are useful to drink kefir or yogurt. The daily norm of a fermented milk drink is 200 ml. A baby who is still breastfed will have enough mother’s milk.
When buying fish for a baby who is one year old, you should pay attention to low-fat varieties. Fillet of pollock, cod or rasp is suitable. Boil the fish pieces, carefully select all the bones and chop. From 40 to 80 g of fish dishes per week, cooked in the form of souffles or cutlets, are enough for a baby.
Meat is required to be added to the daily diet in an amount of 60–80 g. When buying, it is recommended to choose rabbit or poultry meat. Suitable veal and lean beef. Paste or puree soup is prepared from carefully cooked meat. Stuffing will go to steam meatballs, zrazy, meatballs and casseroles. It is allowed to introduce the liver of a chicken or calf into the monthly diet, as well as the tongue and heart.
Salads and mashed vegetables and fruits must be present on the children's menu to provide the body with vitamins and minerals and improve the functioning of the digestive system. In seasonal time, it is preferable to use fresh produce grown in your area. Vegetables with a high fiber content should be thoroughly boiled to avoid colic in the intestines and bloating in the child.
For the preparation of vegetable salads are used:
Fruit salad for the baby consists of chopped apples or pears. Bananas, peaches or apricots can be cut into slices. Freshly picked berries are added to cereals, salads and fruit purees.
Pay attention to a number of tips that pediatricians give to young parents.
When compiling a child’s menu at 1 year old, certain norms must be taken into account. To feed the little one, you need 1200–1250 ml of food daily. It is necessary to alternate meals throughout the week to provide the child’s body with the right amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates. The largest number of calories is for lunch, fewer for breakfast and dinner, and the smallest for afternoon tea.
Products are distributed so that every day at lunch the child receives about 35%, at breakfast and dinner about 25%, at midday about 15% of the total daily amount of food.
Culinary processing of dishes is carried out by stewing, baking and cooking in water or steamed. From semi-liquid dishes, the child gradually switches to pureed ones, then to shredded ones, and along the way learns to chew food with a dense consistency. To develop chewing skills, it is recommended to offer slices of fruits and vegetables. For some babies, 2 or 3 months is enough to begin to cope with such products on their own. In children who are 1 year and 6 months old, due to an increase in the number of teeth, there are more opportunities for the absorption of more coarse food.
When compiling a menu for a child of 1 year, one should focus not only on the recommendations of specialists. It is necessary to take into account the preferences of the baby himself. After morning awakening, he may be offered breast milk or a mixture. Before going to bed - any dairy product or breast milk. Servings for breakfast, lunch and dinner should be calculated taking into account morning and evening feeding.
We offer you several options for a sample menu for a one-year-old baby with recipes.
Menu No. 1
Turkey meatballs
Cottage cheese casserole
Milk pudding
Do not rush to transfer the crumbs to a common table. It is much more useful to create an individual feeding regimen. It is important to follow all dietary recommendations so that the child grows and develops in accordance with age.
A child’s menu at 1 year should include multi-component dishes, as the body is already able to digest and absorb more complex dishes. This will be promoted by the development of teeth, and by the year they have erupted on average already 8! Also, the development of the enzyme system of the digestive tract allows both children and their mothers to switch to a more adult menu. However, one should not forget about the diversity in products, as well as in the method and form of serving food. Dishes that babies eat in one year should be tasty, healthy and interesting, prompting them to show interest in new products.
You can start feeding complementary foods from 5-6 months, the child will be happy to get acquainted with new products, and by the year his food is already quite diverse. The diet of a one-year-old child differs from the adult in the method of preparation and a certain set of permitted products. How to feed a one-year-old child, and how to make a menu for a week, every day, we will talk in this article.
Undoubtedly, the diet of a one-year-old child includes the same foods that he ate before 1 year. The kids' menu includes cereals, vegetables and fruits, cottage cheese and kefir, meat, as well as fish. A child’s food from 1 year will now combine the above products, in the sample menu for the day for your little one you need to include several combinations of ready-made meals - the child’s diet is now expanding significantly.
The calorie content of the daily diet of the peanut should be at least 1300 kcal. The child’s menu at the age of 1.5 remains the same. However, the mobility and activity of the child should be taken into account: for some, fewer calories are required, while other tots require supplements. Nevertheless, the following products must be present on the menu for a one-year-old child:
These products make up a sample baby menu. When choosing fruits and vegetables, seasonality is especially important. As the famous doctor Komarovsky says, it is better to offer your child fruits and vegetables by season. They have more vitamins and more benefits for the growing organism.
In the daily menu for a one-year-old baby, you do not need to fit all of the above products at the same time. Fish, liver, egg are given twice a week.
The frequency of feeding the baby 1 year -1.5 years - 6 times a day, early morning breastfeeding or a mixture is preserved, before bedtime you can already offer kefir. The main meals on the menu of a one-year-old child for every day are breakfast, lunch (lunch), lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Do not forget about the second dinner. A well-fed child sleeps harder at night. Next, consider the menu for a 1-year-old child.
Depending on what time your baby wakes up and whether you put it on your chest upon awakening, breakfast is planned. Gradually, when the first breastfeeding or a bottle with the mixture is replaced by a full breakfast, it can be cereal, diluted with cow's milk, or goat. Also, for the preparation of porridge, you can use the mixture if the child has intolerance to milk protein, lactose.
We include porridge: buckwheat and rice (they have the least allergenicity), oatmeal, corn, millet. Cook porridge in a proportion of 200 g of liquid (milk, water) and 2 tbsp. l cereals. Boil for about 15 minutes. Semolina is less useful, because in addition to refined gluten, which some children have allergies to, there is very little useful in it.
We decorate the cups with pieces of fruit, or rub them on a grater for a variety of tastes.
Twice a week, you can give a 1-year-old baby an omelet from 1 egg (chicken or 2 quail) for a couple, with the addition of milk. You can try adding fresh dill to the omelet for the beauty and good work of the tummy. It should be noted that adding fresh greens to food, we increase the vitamin content of food, and also have a beneficial effect on the digestion process.
For porridge, you can offer a weak tea or compote of fruits, dried fruits. Breadcrumbs should also be offered at breakfast. We only take into account the freshness and quality of bread. Rye and refined white should not be given. One and the second will cause bloating and gas in the baby. Let it be yesterday’s bread, not a loaf, but plain white bread.
The second feeding after breakfast cannot be neglected! Your active child will ask you to eat, and at this meal it is very good to give yogurt with fruits, or fruit puree. It is fruits that stimulate the digestive tract for eating at lunch, increase the content of gastric juice and simply increase the appetite, which many children have problems with.
In this case, a baked apple is very useful. Only you need to monitor the allergic reaction to red apples, but it is better to buy yellow and green.
You can add cookies to your lunch. But not crackers, but diet cookies like Mary. Or any children's, inedible low-fat cookies.
Often the second breakfast falls on a walk. There are two solutions: either take a jar of food with you, which is not always convenient, or use purchased fruit and yogurt-fruit purees, specially packaged in airtight packaging, which is especially important on any trips. With this option, both hands are clean and the child is interested in trying a new way of feeding. And besides, it’s so fun and tasty to eat outside!
The time came when you returned from a walk, and it was time for lunch. You can feed a one-year-old baby in the afternoon with both soup and a combination of the first and second courses.
According to the experience of many mothers, there are recommendations for making a thicker and more substantial soup for lunch. The soup recipe will be based on your imagination and good tolerance of all colored vegetables by the child. But if we cook soup on meat broth, then naturally the first broth is drained, and the second is seasoned with meat and vegetables, cut into small cubes, which are cooked together until cooked.
When cooking vegetable soup, at the end of cooking you need to add a tablespoon of vegetable oil - it can be, like olive oil, and good quality sunflower oil. However, it should be noted that the broth on the bones of a child in 1 year can not be cooked. This leads to increased secretory production of the stomach and pancreas.
Unsweetened cereals without milk and vegetable purees, in relation to meat or fish dishes, serve as the second dish, do not forget about the liver (beef, chicken). Undoubtedly, the children's menu lacks roasts, spices and a large amount of salt.
In the summer, it is allowed to give the child a vegetable salad for lunch. If you serve it, beautifully decorating it in the form of a children's character, then such salads will not only improve the digestion of the child, but also its mood for feeding. Just try to introduce a new dish you need slowly, adding one new vegetable to the diet of a one-year-old baby and watching the body react to a new product during the day.
In one year, the baby’s snack gradually replaces feeding with breast milk or a mixture to other dairy products - milk porridge, cottage cheese with fruits, cottage cheese pancakes or cottage cheese casserole. You can also offer your child kompotik, cookies with milk.
Whole cow's milk is introduced into the diet very carefully. The reaction of children to it is individual, and if everything is normal with tolerance, then the milk is first diluted with water, in its pure form it can cause colic in the tummy.
Arriving from the evening walk, (after 5 hours after lunch), dinner is planned. Observing the feeding and wakefulness of the child at 1 year, it should be borne in mind that dinner is not too late. A sample menu for a child for dinner most often coincides with a second lunch dish.
For dinner for the baby, you can cook vegetable stew, porridge (without milk) with meatballs or already pieces of meat or fish. Do not forget to add a drop of vegetable oil to the vegetable stew, if this stew has been cooked. So we will relieve the child of constipation, and his intestines will work like clockwork!
When breastfeeding before going to bed, you need to offer your mother's milk. With artificial - it will be a mixture, and even better a sour-milk mixture or a simple baby kefir. For a sick child, the number of meals can be increased by 1. Eating at bedtime should be easy, but familiar.
If your child often wakes you up at night, asks for food, then it’s time to wean him from nightly feeding, offering him either milk or vodka from a bottle, since the digestive system grows and changes to an “adult way”, which will become a guarantee of success in the future his work and the health of your baby.
The diet of a 1-year-old child is already quite diverse. Below is a table with an approximate menu of a one-year-old baby for a week, the recipes of which are quite simple to prepare. With the help of our recommendations, you can make a convenient option for your baby.
Having written what to cook for a child in 1 year, you can buy the necessary products in advance, saving yourself the time that you will be happy to devote to your baby.

Most importantly, keep your drinking regimen affordable. The importance of this item is emphasized by Dr. Komarovsky in his interviews. Children may not even say that they want to drink, simply forgetting to play, and then get drunk before eating, skipping lunch. Offer water continuously between feedings. But even with food, you can give your child a little drink of water or kompotika.
Within a year, a growing child already becomes a full-fledged participant in a parental meal, and a child’s nutrition after 1 year should not scare mothers with different menus, recipes and products. After all, this time is so fleeting, and our help for a baby who is preparing to step into adulthood is priceless.
Take care of your children! Feed them tasty, healthy and varied foods. And soon you will remember with special trepidation this transitional period of growing up of your child!
A few days later, the child is a year old. By the first year of life, breast milk alone is not enough for the baby. To restore the energy expended, proper metabolic processes, as well as normal growth and development, he needs to receive a sufficient amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts and vitamins daily. All this is contained in various foods of plant and animal origin.
For the baby to eat with pleasure, and this is very important for the normal assimilation of food, the prepared dishes should be not only healthy, but tasty. And those that mom cooked for dinner should also be easy for digestion.
Therefore, the question often arises, what to cook for a child for dinner at 1 year old? This is what our today's conversation will be on the site “Popular about health”. We will talk about the general basics of baby food at this age and consider recipes for preparing certain dishes suitable for an evening meal.
One-year-old baby diet basics
As we have already said, for the full development, growth of the baby, maintaining good health, he needs a full, balanced diet. By the age of his life, he had already become acquainted with some “adult” foods, although dairy is still the basis of the diet.
The baby still loves to kiss his mother’s breast. However, I have already tried porridge with cow's milk, yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, kefir and cheese. Increasingly, they give him mashed potatoes made of vegetables, fruits, lean meat, light soups and other dishes.
The main meal is for breakfast and lunch. Snack is usually a light snack. Dinner should be light, but at the same time, hearty. In this evening meal should be no later than 1 hour before bedtime.
A few words about salt
If the norm for an adult is 5 g of salt per day, 1 g is enough for a baby. Therefore, when preparing dishes, only slightly add them.
Bad sweets
In general, sugar in children's diets is absolutely not healthy. You should not accustom him to sweets from such an early age. Compotes, juices, jelly are better to cook without this product at all.
But, if you think differently, the permissible sugar norm for a child at 1 year is 30 g. Well, in general, many experts recommend replacing harmful refined fruit with fructose.
What to cook in 1 year for dinner?
For dinner, it is better to cook dishes from cereals, vegetables and lean meat (beef, chicken, rabbit). It is best to combine these products, for example: oatmeal with pumpkin pulp, stewed vegetables with mashed meat, zucchini souffle with chicken, etc.
After the main course, a serving of fruit puree or juice follows. Just remember that for a day, the baby should receive no more than 100 g of mashed potatoes and 100 ml of juice.
Recipes:
Mashed Potato with Chicken
For cooking you will need: 100 g chicken breast, 2 potatoes, a quarter cup of milk, salt.
Cooking:
Cook the meat until cooked. It should be very soft. Remove from pan, and when cool, add some hot milk and grind with a blender.
Cook the potatoes in salted water, drain the broth. Add hot boiled milk and cook not thick mashed potatoes. Add the chicken, mix well.
Souffle from vegetables
We will need: 1 potato, 100 g of pumpkin pulp, the same amount of zucchini, half a carrot, a raw egg. Still need: a little sour cream, a sprig of dill, salt.
Cooking:
Wash the vegetables thoroughly, peel, cut into small cubes. Boil potatoes, carrots until half cooked. Add chopped pumpkin and zucchini, cook over very low heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the stove.
When the vegetables have cooled, remove the slotted spoon, put in a blender bowl. Add the egg, finely chopped dill, salt and chop.
Arrange the mixture in oiled tins, for example, for muffins.
Bake at 180C until cooked (about 20 minutes). Grease finished products with sour cream.
Chicken fillet
For the recipe you need products: 50 g of fresh fillet, a slice of a white loaf, a third of a glass of milk, raw yolk of a chicken egg, salt.
Cooking:
Roll the fillet through a meat grinder along with a slice of loaf. Put in a bowl. Add milk, yolk, salt, knead well. Form cutlets, steam them. Cooking time is approximately 45 minutes. Grind with a fork, serve with vegetable puree, for example, from zucchini.
Zucchini puree
We need: 50 g of peeled young zucchini, half a glass of milk, salt.
Cooking:
Boil zucchini until soft. When cool, grind with a blender. Add boiled hot milk, add salt, whisk with a mixer.
Before bedtime
If the baby is still receiving breast milk, you can again breast-feed him before bedtime. If he is an artificer, or already weaned from the chest, it is useful to give him a portion of baby kefir.
In conclusion, it must be recalled that the volume of consumed products at this age is 1000 - 1200 g per day, excluding the liquid consumed.
A child from a year to a year and a half should receive food from 4 to 5 times a day. Required intervals between feedings, which are 3-4 hours.
If you follow these rules, the baby develops a conditioned reflex and he will eat with hunting and appetite.
A three-year-old child has almost completely switched to adult food, but there are still some restrictions in his diet. Let's look at how to feed babies at this age, how to cook food and how to build an optimal diet that covers all the needs of the child.
The opinion that it is only necessary to follow the child’s nutrition until the age of 3, and then the baby can be allowed to eat anything, is erroneous. Good nutrition is important for children who have crossed the three-year milestone, no less than for children 1-2 years old. It provides for such nuances:
If a child goes to kindergarten, consider the menu when developing a diet
Three-year-old children move a lot, grow actively and need high-quality sources of both energy and plastic material. After 3 years, a child needs about 1500-1800 kcal per day. The amount of protein and fat in the daily diet of a three-year-old baby should be approximately the same, and carbohydrates should be 4 times more than any of these nutrients.
For specific products, the needs of a three-year-old are as follows:
You must adhere to the principles of nutrition without fanaticism, consider the wishes of your child
Kids of this age are given fresh juice, a compote of fresh, dry and frozen fruits, special juice for children, drinking water, a rosehip broth, kissel, coffee substitute, tea. At the same time, tea for a three-year-old child is made weak and preferably with milk. Cocoa is boiled once or twice a week for children of this age.
Three-year-olds are not given:
Accustoming a child to a particular diet helps improve digestion, as his digestive tract will produce digestive juices for the next meal. Hot food should be given to the child three times a day. A total of 4 meals is provided at the age of three, and breaks between them should be about 4 hours (the maximum allowable break is 6 hours). It is recommended daily to give the baby food at the same time, deviating a maximum of 15-30 minutes. In between meals, do not let the child snack on sweets.
The diet depends on the temperament of the baby, but at the age of 3 try to correct it and bring it to generally accepted standards
Starting from the age of three, it is permissible for a child to give fried food, but preference should be given to the previously used methods of processing products - cooking, stewing, baking. Unlike cooking for adults, preschoolers cook meat longer (up to two hours), and fish less (up to 20 minutes).
Long-term processing of vegetables worsens their mineral and vitamin composition, so cook potatoes, carrots, and also cabbage no longer than 25 minutes, and beets - 1 hour.
At this age, habits are formed that form taste preferences for a lifetime
