By the age of one year, a child's diet includes more dense dishes and coarsely chopped or grainy foods that require chewing.

Porridge should no longer be cooked from finely ground cereals, but from well-cooked whole grains or medium-ground cereals. Vegetable puree can be combined with casseroles and finely chopped salads.

The daily diet of a one-year-old child should be balanced.

In the morning and daytime, the menu should include dairy, meat or fish products, bread (wheat and rye), butter, eggs, vegetables, and fruits. Dinner should be lighter, since rapid digestive processes should not interfere with the baby's restful sleep.

From the second year of life, children should have a variety of casseroles in their diet: cottage cheese, meat, potato. If your baby doesn’t like to eat meat, you can prepare a potato casserole with meat (in the form of minced meat); your baby will like this option better. We can talk endlessly about the benefits of liver in the diet of children 2-3 years old, because it contains easily digestible proteins and has a positive effect on hematopoiesis.

Fish should also always be present in the baby’s menu, especially sea and ocean fish.

Vegetables are an indispensable element in the menu of two-year-old children, because vegetables are rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Season fresh salads with low-fat sour cream. Gradually, you can use the following seasonings in small quantities for preparing children's dishes: dill, parsley, celery. Let your child eat fruit in moderation.

Be sure to include soups in your children's menu at least once a week. Borscht contains maximum nutrients, which is why it is considered the healthiest soup. It is recommended to prepare soups with meat broths, so they will be richer and more tasty.

A small child should already eat bread every day. While it is better to feed your baby white bread, black bread causes fermentation in the stomach. For an afternoon snack, unsweetened cookies are allowed. For children 2-3 years old, marshmallows, meringues, and marshmallows are ideal treats. Do not give chocolate products, as they can cause an allergic reaction. Sweets should be consumed in a minimal amount, and only after eating the main meal, so as not to kill your appetite before eating.

Children aged 2-3 years must consume fermented milk products to improve digestion. They contain essential protein and calcium, which is beneficial for bone growth. Every day a child should eat up to 100 g of curd products and up to 30 g of cheese. It is better not to give low-fat foods to your baby, because fat is the building material of brain tissue.

Dishes should be prepared for one meal, without using various spices (pepper, mustard, etc.). Decorate your baby's food beautifully, this will please him and increase his appetite.

Remember that food should be a source of microelements and vitamins.

How well a child eats is determined by the pediatrician by weighing, measuring height and monitoring the general state of health.
