Indian Diet Plan for Toddlers (1 to 3 years)

 

 

The best indicator that your toddler is getting adequate nourishment is her regular weight gain, growth, general appearance and contentment.

Thinking of which foods are healthier for your baby will be much easier for you by now, as you will be an expert on which foods your child is best able to cope with. All the foods groups, viz. cereals, pulses, fruits, vegetables and milk are equally important and are extremely healthy for your child.

An adequate amount of these food groups will ensure a healthy growing child. Very few of us really know the intake required by our little toddlers. The daily food guide that follows will help you to know the right amount of food for your child.

1.     Cereals and their flours : Whole wheat, unpolished rice, jowar, bajra, ragi (nachni), bulgur wheat (dalia), buckwheat are some healthy cereals which should be included in your toddlers diet.  Include at least 5 to 6 servings per day. Use them to make Mini Bajra Oats Uttapa and Multigrain Palak Paneer Roti for Toddlers and Kids.

 

2.    Pulses and Dals: Whole Moong, chawli beans, rajma, chick peas (kabuli chana) etc. Sprout them to make them easily digestible for kids and also to get enhanced nutritional benefits. Also include moong dal, toovar (arhar) dal, masoor dal, chana dal, urad dal etc. Their flours like moong dal flour, chana dal flour (besan) etc. also form a part of this food group. Include at least 1 to 2 servings per day. Make their food interesting by serving them Moong Sprouts Dosa and Rajma Salad for Toddlers. Form a habit of family dinner and boost them to eat on their own.

 

3.    Vegetables: These include greens like spinach (palak), fenugreek (methi), lettuce, radish leaves, coriander, cow pea (chawli) leaves, colocasia, cabbage etc. Use them to make a small meal like Dal and Vegetable Soup.  Other veggies like carrot, beetroot, cucumber, brinjal, French beans, cluster beans (gavarfali), cauliflower florets etc. also form a part of this group. Include at least 2 to 3 servings per day.

 

4.    Fruits: Pineapple, sweet lime, orange, guava, watermelon, mango, apple etc… so many colourful fruits are available. Use a new fruit daily. Include at least 2 fruits a day. If your child doesn’t like whole fruits, serve them in the form of Chana Salad for Kids and Toddlers.

 

5.     Nuts and Oilseeds: Almonds, cashewnuts, walnuts, sesame seeds (til), peanuts, dates, figs, apricots etc. Include a few of them for sure. They are a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.  Try Til Chikki. Make small pieces and let them nibble on it. Be careful that it doesn’t choke.

 

6.    Dairy Products: These include milk, curd, paneer and cheese. Most kids grown up drinking at least 2 glasses of milk per day. Teach them to include curd in their diet. It is probiotic and good for their digestive system. Serve them chaas in an attractive glass. Use paneer to make Paneer Vegetable Paratha for Kids. Include at least 2 servings per day.

 

7.    Fats and Sugar: These are ghee, oil, butter, sugar and jiggery. Although there is no specific recommendation for this group, approximately 2 tablespoons of fat and sugar can be consumed as per your paediatricians advice. Prefer jaggery over sugar in the form of Jowar Golpapdi for Kids.

After waiting all these months, your little baby has turned one!!

This is a huge milestone – both for baby and the parents. Turning one now makes your baby officially a toddler, and he’s probably already toddling around the home – faster than you can catch him!

Your little one’s life is going to change as she continues to grow rapidly, and the biggest change is going to be in the area of food. From now on, your baby is ready to have all the foods that were restricted for babies under one. Which means it’s time for a brand new food chart!

By now your baby is already having most household meals except for those restricted foods and now you can go ahead and feed your baby everything you make for the rest of the family, with less salt and spices. Of course, it is important to consider things like food allergies and choking hazards, and we recommend consulting your child’s pediatrician in case of any doubt.

So the list of foods to avoid has significantly decreased, but toddlerhood brings with it new challenges, especially fussy eating. Your baby is going to be more adamant about his likes and dislikes, and you’ll have to use quite a bit of creativity to work around it.

Toddlers tend to have phases where they eat only one food and reject everything else. In this situation, nutritional deficiencies are a real risk, but you can keep them away by adding a supplementary food like a multigrain health drink or dry fruits powder which ensures many vital nutrients in a small amount.

It is recommended to continue breastfeeding for as long as you and your baby are comfortable, but if you are planning to wean, consider weaning your toddler gently to avoid distress. If you’re planning to start potty training, get all the tips in our ultimate potty training guide.

The food chart we’ve created here includes recipes common in most Indian households. Finger Foods still make the best snacks, and it’s also important to ensure your baby drinks sufficient water throughout the day.

Children's menu from 1 to 1.5 years for a week - a table with recipes

After a year, most children already have 6-8 milk teeth, which means that it is time to introduce more solid food into the diet. When organizing the nutrition of a child from 1 year old, it is necessary to take into account his increasing needs for energy and vitamins. Indeed, at an early age, a child needs building material for his body. Yes, and the volume of the stomach of the crumbs has increased, the digestive capacity of the gastrointestinal tract has increased, the intestinal microflora is gradually returning to normal.

CONTENTS
1. Weekly menu for children 1 year old
2. Some rules of nutrition
3. An approximate set of products for one day for children 1-1.5 years old
4. How to make a diet?

Of course, it is not necessary to introduce food in pieces immediately. For example, from mashed potatoes and milk, you need to smoothly move on to puddings, casseroles and mousses.

Another important point: food prepared the day before loses most of its nutritional and beneficial properties, so the child needs to cook every day. Yes, it will take more time and effort than warming up a jar of baby food, but you are investing in the most precious thing you have - in children's health.

Milk and dairy products play an important role in the nutrition of children from 1 year old. As before, the diet of crumbs is based on them (taking into account all dishes, the consumption of dairy products should be 600 ml / day). If you have stopped breastfeeding by the year, then mother's milk can be replaced with special milk formulas for children after a year. Children's curds, yogurts, kefirs will become relevant.

As for meat or fish, these products must be included in the baby's daily diet. It is from them that the body receives the protein necessary for growth. Fish can be given 1-2 times a week, on other days - meat.

Fruits and vegetables remain a source of vitamins and trace elements, which can already be gradually given raw in the form of juices or salads.

    The change in the diet occurs as follows: to train the chewing apparatus, more dense and solid food is introduced, and liquid and semi-liquid are gradually reduced.

    To prevent your baby from turning away from a new dish, try to resort to a simple rule: food should look attractive and smell delicious. It is the aroma and appearance of the “goodies” that trigger the production of gastric juice. By the way, bright dishes will serve as an excellent assistant in this matter.

    During the meal, do not put all the prepared dishes in front of the baby, the baby should receive the next portion only after he has eaten the previous one.

    Make at least one meal a family meal, even if the child's overall diet does not match yours.

    Gradually teach your child to set and clear the table. A three-year-old baby can already be asked to wash the dishes.

    One-day meal plan for children aged 1-1.5

    Sugar g 40
    Salt g 3
    90

    It is necessary to draw up a menu for a child at 1 year old based on his needs: at the age of 1-1.5 years, a child needs only 1000-1200 g of food, and this is not counting liquid dishes (150-200 ml of juice, 300 ml of tea, 300 ml of milk) Milk porridges and soups are good for breakfast, especially with the addition of fruits or dried fruits. An ideal dish would be lazy dumplings, as well as any omelettes or salads with eggs. By the way, salads in baby food should be seasoned with sour cream or vegetable oil, not mayonnaise. In addition, they need to be cooked immediately before serving.

    If the child has any disorders in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, then the menu should include pureed soups, cream soups and puree soups. By the way, any soup for a child is cooked on the second, or even on the third broth. For meat dishes, lean meats are preferred: turkey, chicken, lean veal. For fish dishes, also use low-fat varieties: sea bass, cod, pike perch, hake. Canned food, marinades and smoked meats are not desirable in cooking for a child.

    Now about the sweet. Of course, who doesn't love sweets? And as soon as the child turns one year old, some grandmothers strive to treat the crumbs to something delicious. Sweets become the subject of constant disputes in the family. In this matter, the main thing is to stand your ground. Namely, excess sugar can lead to the development of diseases such as diabetes and obesity. So even in ready-made dishes it is worth adding jam or jam, and less sugar.

    You should also not overdo it by increasing the child's portions. The entire required volume should be evenly divided during the day into 5-6 doses. If you reduce the number of meals by increasing portions, this can lead to indigestion and a deterioration in the appetite of the crumbs.

    -25% of the daily ration
    Breakfast 9.00 20-25% daily diet
    lunch 13.00 35-40% daily diet
    15% of the daily allowance
    Late dinner 22.00 (23.00) 5% of the daily ration

    At the same time, the qualitative composition of the diet should look something like this:

    • Proteins - 20%
    • Fats - 20%
    • Carbohydrates - 60%

    It is recommended to combine various types of cereals with milk - milk soups, milk noodles. You can use special children's yogurt in the diet of children - it contains valuable components: protein, fat and calcium, which are necessary for the development of the child. You can add fresh fruits and berries to yogurt.

    Children's birthday menu: photos, recipes, dish ideas

    How to make a child's birthday truly unforgettable? Gather his friends, come up with entertainment and, of course, treat everyone to something delicious. But pleasing little guests is sometimes more difficult than adult gourmets. Our article will come to the rescue. In it, we have collected 10 dishes that will enchant even the most capricious persons. Serve these treats for a kid's birthday party and no one will leave hungry.

    Original canapés

    Kids will appreciate the unusual serving, and adults will appreciate the ease of preparing the dish. Indeed, among the recipes for a children's birthday, it is important to have at least one option for a quick snack. For canapes in the form of ladybugs, it is better to take unsalted crackers with the addition of whole grain flour. You can grease the products with both pate and hummus or curd cheese.

    Ingredients:

    • crackers - 10 pcs.
    • cherry tomatoes - 5 pcs.
    • leaf lettuce - 3-4 leaves
    • olives - 3 pcs.
    • pate - to taste

    Preparation:

    1. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and make a shallow cut in each half.
    2. Brush crackers with pâté and cover with lettuce. Excess greens can be removed.
    3. Top the salad with half a cherry and a quarter of an olive.
    4. Decorate the finished ladybug with a pattern of white dots. To do this, dip a toothpick in Greek yogurt or mayonnaise and gently color the workpiece.

    Snack Muffins

    Children are rarely fans of vegetables. But thanks to such muffins, they will even eat the hated green beans or green peas. It's nice that you can change the toppings to your liking. For example, take corn, ham or some broccoli and cauliflower. It is also better not to forget about the vegetable slices on the table. Serve carrot, pepper and cucumber sticks with yoghurt sauce.

    Ingredients:

    • green beans - 100 g
    • green peas - 100 g
    • cheese - 100 g
    • chicken eggs - 2 pcs.
    • sour cream - 3 tbsp. l.
    • flour - 3 tbsp. l.
    • Bulgarian pepper - 1 pc.
    • baking powder - 0.5 tsp.
    • salt - to taste

    Preparation:

    1. Defrost beans and peas.
    2. Pepper and cheese cut into small cubes.
    3. In a clean bowl, mix eggs with sour cream and salt. Gradually add the sifted flour mixed with the baking powder.
    4. Add prepared cuts to batter.
    5. Divide the pastry between molds and bake for 15 minutes at 180°C. Then lower the heat to 160°C and bake the muffins for another 15-20 minutes in the oven.

    Cheese donuts

    If you don't know what to cook, try these donuts. At a children's birthday party, they will definitely become a popular treat. The main thing is to find a good crumbly cottage cheese with a fat content of 5-9%. It is desirable that there is not too much moisture in the mass, gluing the grains together. Otherwise, wrap the cottage cheese with gauze and put it under pressure for 2-3 hours to remove excess moisture.

    Ingredients:

    • cottage cheese - 200 g
    • cheese - 80 g
    • flour - 70 g
    • chicken eggs - 2 pcs.
    • baking powder - 0.5 tsp.
    • sesame - to taste

    Preparation:

    1. Mash the cottage cheese with a fork or chop with a blender.
    2. Add grated cheese, whole egg and one egg white.
    3. Add the sifted flour and baking powder and knead into a stiff dough.
    4. On a floured surface, shape the dough into a ball and divide it into 6-8 equal pieces.
    5. Roll each piece into a sausage and seal the ends.
    6. Transfer the blanks to a baking sheet lined with baking paper and brush with the remaining yolk.
    7. Garnish with sesame seeds and bake for 30 minutes at 180°C.

    Mini pizzas

    Who would say no to a popular treat? For a children's holiday, it makes sense to make portioned pizzas. It will be easier for kids to hold them in their hands. As a sauce, ordinary ketchup or a mixture of pureed tomatoes boiled with spices is suitable. In addition to cherry tomatoes, you can use bell peppers or broccoli for the filling, and put boiled chicken or turkey instead of ham. When serving, garnish pizzas with fresh herbs, if desired.

    Ingredients:

    For the dough:

    • flour - 200 g
    • water - 90 ml
    • olive oil - 30 ml
    • sugar - 1 tsp.
    • dry yeast - 4 g
    • salt - pinch

    Basic:

    • ham - 200 g
    • cherry tomatoes - 8 pcs.
    • tomato sauce - 3 tbsp. l.
    • cheese - 50 g

    Preparation:
