Notes :
- Sterilize the bowls and spoons used for feeding your baby in a vessel with hot water for five minutes and keep it immersed in the same vessel until use.
- Never introduce more than 1 food at a time when introducing solids to your baby. Follow 3 days wait for rule(3 days wait rule is a simple way to check possible allergic reactions including skin rashes, tummy troubles like gas or diarrhea or vomiting, poop troubles to new foods offered to your baby. Introduce new food at a space of 3 days apart).
- Check for allergy symptoms when you introducing new food to your baby and stop feeding you if you find any symptoms.
- Any sweetener( if the recipe calls for it) like jaggery, Palm jaggery, etc can be avoided till one year. Instead, sweet-tasting vegetables or fruits can be preferred.
- Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
- Steaming is a healthy option for baby food than pressure cooking. So I prefer steaming using an Idli pot or steamer.
- Skip cows milk if your baby is under a year old and use breastmilk or formula instead. Add breastmilk or formula to baby food once it's cooled down.

She enjoys cooking and practices the Menu of the Week system in her daily life. |
What food should be on the child's menu after the first birthday? Perhaps there is no mother who would not ask herself this question at least once.
The baby more and more confidently eats not only pureed dishes, but also dishes with small pieces of food, his diet at 1 year old gradually expands, the menu becomes more diverse and as a result, the mother has a lot of opportunities for culinary experiments.
It is possible and necessary to experiment, because it is at an early age that a child develops eating habits . You don't want him to turn his nose away from a plate of food in the future because it contains fried onions or baked broccoli, do you? Then start introducing him to a variety of products and how to cook them now!
Things to remember when compiling a menu for a child after 1 year:
- First of all, try to follow the same feeding schedule for better production of digestive enzymes .
It is recommended to give "adult" food to babies 5 times a day at intervals of 3.5-4 hours: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and milk or kefir at night. It is very good if the mother's lactation is preserved, and it is possible to continue natural feeding on demand. Usually, children ask for a breast in the morning after waking up, in the afternoon after taking regular meals, or in between and before bedtime. With artificial feeding, babies usually continue to drink formula milk in the morning and before bedtime after a year. - It is not difficult to diversify the diet: it is enough to include vegetables, fruits, cereals, protein products (milk and dairy products, legumes, meat, fish) and fats (vegetable, butter, sour cream) in it daily. For example, if there was a cereal side dish for lunch, it is better to cook a vegetable dish for dinner, and vice versa.
- The most optimal ways of cooking are stewing, boiling (in water or steam), baking.
But there are some peculiarities: if you cook soup in broth, it is better to use boneless meat and drain the first broth to avoid overstimulation of digestive enzymes - You can gradually introduce child to various spices and seasonings (cinnamon, coriander, cumin, etc.). Of course, a lot of spicy additives (pepper, garlic) are best avoided, as well as products with artificial flavors (seasonings containing monosodium glutamate, etc.). It will be more useful if the baby learns to enjoy natural tastes.
- All mothers are well aware that water is very important for the health and well-being of babies, so make sure that your child drinks enough water between feedings (in extreme cases, unsweetened tea or a decoction of herbs, rose hips). You can pour water every morning into a sippy cup or bottle in a volume of about 300 ml and periodically offer him a drink.
MONDAY
Breakfast: Wheat porridge
Lunch: Pumpkin puree soup recipe with chicken
Dinner: Zucchini and carrot casserole
Pediatrician's comment: lunch often offers to cook broth and stewed vegetables.
|
In my opinion, puree soups combine two dishes at the same time, thereby saving time on cooking. Complementing them with steam cutlets or meatballs (from meat, poultry or fish), we get a full meal. TUESDAY
Breakfast: Oatmeal Porridge with Caramel Apples
Lunch: Broccoli Soup, Fish Meatballs
Dinner: Zucchini and Carrot Casserole
Pediatrician's comment:For afternoon snack you can give your baby fruit (if there are still problems with pieces, then in the form of puree or grated), cottage cheese, yogurt or kefir with children's cookies. |
Wednesday
Breakfast: Puding from cottage cheese Many children even a year prefer breakfast with breast milk or formula (if they are bottle-fed). Breakfast: Omlet
Lunch: Broaccoli soup, Fish Tufteli
Greek porridge
Pediatrician's comment: 
Dairy porridge has always been considered a tasty and satisfying breakfast. In addition, you can cook cottage cheese casserole or scrambled eggs.
Thursday
Lunch: soup puree from different vegetables, cutlets
Pediatrician's comment:For dinner many children have enough porridge or vegetable puree. |
FRIDAY
Breakfast: wheat porridge
lunch: soup puree from various vegetables, cutlets
Dinner: zucchini stew in sour cream
Lunch: Cauliflower soup, liver sauté
Dinner: Squash stewed in sour cream
Pediatrician comment: If the baby has not given up five meals a day, then before going to bed drinks either breast milk or formula (yogurt, kefir) with pleasure, depending on the type of feeding. |
