How and what to feed a child after one year and up to one and a half years, nutritional features, sample menu. How and what to feed a child after one year and up to one and a half years, nutritional features, approximate menu Diet for 1 5 years

The age of one and a half years is the time to expand the child’s diet. His digestive system improves, the number of teeth increases, which helps him chew harder foods. Mom does not need to carefully grind food, as in the first year of life. The components of the dishes can be cut into small pieces without resorting to a meat grinder or blender. A varied menu introduces the baby to new tastes and ensures the supply of valuable vitamins and microelements.

A child’s diet after one year should be drawn up taking into account the recommendations of specialists

Diet of a one and a half year old child

The diet of children after one and a half years includes 5 meals. Three of them are main and two are snacks. Some kids refuse second breakfast and switch to 4 meals a day with a 4-hour break between meals. Whatever the baby’s habits, the main thing is to invite him to the table at a strictly allotted time. This will develop a food reflex and create favorable conditions for digesting food.

Baby's diet after one year

Dear reader!

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

When choosing food for a child after one year, you should give preference to light dietary products. Children's menus must include porridge, light soups, fermented milk dishes, fish and meat cutlets. To season dishes, use vegetable oil and low-fat sour cream. It is allowed to add salt, herbs, and ground pepper.

Porridge, vegetables, meat on the menu

Porridge can be served every day, at any time. The most valuable of them are oatmeal and buckwheat, which contain many useful microelements. Rice is well digested, but it should be limited if you are prone to constipation. Less popular corn and millet porridges are a source of silicon, calcium and phosphorus. You can also offer barley, which contains iron and potassium, and pearl barley is introduced after three years.

Vegetables and fruits can be given every day, in any form. They contain fiber, which prevents constipation and promotes easy digestion. Summer is the best time for light salads. Baked vegetables and mashed potatoes are suitable as a side dish at any time of the year.

The children's menu should not only be varied, but interesting and beautiful

For cutlets and meatballs, you should use lean meats - turkey, beef, veal. A blender, a double boiler and a slow cooker will help you prepare it. Low-fat fish dishes should be included in the diet at least 2 times a week. A piece of baked fish will provide the body with important amino acids, iodine, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, and phospholipids. However, it should be remembered that fish is a strong allergen.

Eggs, dairy products and fats in the diet

Milk, fermented milk and dairy products provide children with calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, protein, vitamin D. They contain milk sugar, easily digestible acids, carbohydrates, and minerals.

You can use cottage cheese to make cheesecakes, casseroles, and lazy dumplings, which your baby can try.

Chicken eggs are valued for their amino acids and lecithin. A whole egg can be given to an older child for breakfast every other day or steamed into an omelet and added to dishes. If there is an allergy to protein, it is removed from the menu. You can also try dietary quail eggs.

A child over one year old can be given a whole egg (every other day, or half daily), and not just the yolk

Fats are oils (sunflower, olive, butter, corn) that are useful in their own way. The vitamins, minerals and fatty acids they contain give strength and support metabolism. The daily norm of butter at the age of 2 years is from 6 to 10 grams. (including adding to porridges, puddings, casseroles).

Bread, pasta and sweets

The diet of one and a half year old children may contain pasta made from durum wheat. They contain carbohydrates, vitamins B1, B9, PP, B2, calcium, phosphorus and other microelements. Up to 2 years, the inclusion of baked goods with bran is not recommended by WHO and pediatricians, including Dr. Komarovsky. However, at 1.5 years old you can introduce your child to bread made from rye flour.

The daily intake of black bread should not exceed 10 grams. In total, a two-year-old child is allowed to eat up to 100 grams of bread per day (70 grams of wheat and 30 grams of rye). If a child refuses bread, do not insist - porridge can completely replace it.

Sweets and chocolate should be given to the baby in very limited quantities; it is better to prefer dried fruits and biscuits (see also:)

You should not include sweets and confectionery in the diet of a 1.5-year-old baby. Once a week you can have marshmallows, marmalade, marshmallows, honey, biscuits and dried fruits (see also:). The daily sugar intake is 40 grams (sugar added to porridge, pies, and cottage cheese is considered).

You should not try unhealthy and heavy food from an adult table at this age. Heavy, fatty, fried foods are prohibited. Mushrooms, pickled vegetables, smoked meats, seafood, and marinades should not be given. The taboo applies to concentrated juices, sparkling water, margarine and spread, and coffee.

Menu for the day at 1.5-3 years

A varied and balanced diet is the basis for the harmonious development of a 1.5-2 year old child. The basis of a child's diet should be foods containing protein - eggs, fish, meat, dairy products.

To my mother's piggy bank: healthy recipes

It is important for a mother to pay careful attention to both the selection of products for the child and their careful culinary processing. It is advisable to make cottage cheese, jelly, yoghurt, minced meat, oatmeal and shortbread cookies yourself. Finished products are not always stored in proper conditions, and manufacturers are often silent about their composition. You need to gradually master recipes for children's dishes and introduce them to your child.

Millet porridge “Kaprizka”

Millet porridge “Kaprizka”

Initially, boil viscous millet porridge by pouring half a glass of cereal with a glass of hot water. Then add a little sugar and salt to the pan with the millet and cook until tender, cool to 40 degrees and serve with one of the toppings:

• finely chopped dried apricots and raisins, nuts and butter;
• carrot puree (chopped carrots should first be stewed, then mixed with porridge and garnished with prunes);
• pieces of stewed fillet placed on porridge.

Tender cream of chicken soup

To prepare one serving, you need to make broth by boiling 20 grams of chicken fillet in 150 ml. water and adding salt, half an onion and carrots. Grind the finished meat and vegetables in a blender, adding half the broth, and grind. Separately, dry a tablespoon of flour in a frying pan, add the rest of the broth and 1 tsp. butter. Keep on fire until thickened, stirring constantly.

Mix the sauce and mashed meat puree with vegetables. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes. At the same time, combine a fresh egg with 30 ml. warm boiled milk, boil until thickened in a water bath. Add the resulting mixture to the slightly cooled soup and stir. Serve with greens.

Beets stewed with prunes

Beets stewed with prunes

Grate medium-sized red beets on a coarse grater. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a frying pan and heat the chopped root vegetable in it. Add 50 grams of chopped prunes, salt and sugar, cover with a lid and simmer over low heat until tender. It is important to stir every 2 minutes so that the beets become tender and fragrant.

Fish stewed in milk

Prepare a good cod fillet, sprinkle with salt. Separately, chop the new potatoes, add water and cook until half cooked in a ceramic pot. Drain the water, add the chopped half of the onion and the prepared fish. Pour a glass of milk over the food and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Before serving, decorate with herbs.

Meat soufflé

Chicken soufflé

Grind 350 grams of good tenderloin in a blender or food processor. Continuing to beat, add a little salt, 50 g. butter, a good raw egg. Gradually pour in 0.5 cups of low-fat cream. Place the well-prepared mass in an oiled mold, which should be placed in a bowl of boiling water and placed in a preheated oven.

During baking, it is important to ensure that there is always boiling water in the bowl and add it when it evaporates. Signs of a dish being ready are an increase and compaction of the mass, its separation from the walls of the mold. Before finally removing the dish, mom should try it. You can serve the soufflé on a flat plate, adding herbs and fresh tomatoes.

Rice casserole with cottage cheese

Rice casserole with cottage cheese

Boil the fluffy rice. Add raisins, an egg beaten with a little sugar, butter and grated cottage cheese. Mix the mixture well and place on a baking sheet, previously greased with oil and covered with breadcrumbs. Brush the mixture with the previously combined egg and sour cream or pour melted butter on top. Bake for 10 minutes at medium temperature. Serve garnished with berry syrup.

Note to mom

A two-year-old baby may refuse meals prepared by his mother. New products may cause particular aversion. Dr. Komarovsky does not recommend insisting.

Every day your child is getting older, which means it’s time to adapt to his new pace of life, new rules, new daily routine and, of course, a new adult menu. If up to a year the baby could be fed with breast milk, formula, soft purees, cereals, cottage cheese and only some products from the general adult table, then already at 1.5 years the child’s diet should change. This is not even due to the fact that it is necessary, but to the fact that your child’s energy expenditure requires it. By the age of 1.5 years, he became more mobile, his gastrointestinal tract works differently (able to digest solid food), his liver and pancreas are fully functioning. All these organs have reached their maturity.

If parents do not take care of their baby’s digestion, this can result in serious problems - diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, slowdown in physiological growth, etc. Therefore, all that needs to be done at this stage is to pay closer attention to what the child eats and how he does it.

Calorie content of foods

A 1.5 year old child should consume a total of about 1300 kcal. If the baby is already older, then his diet increases to 1600 kcal per day. Moreover, the total calorie content is distributed as follows - breakfast and lunch should be the most high-calorie, that is, they should be 25-35% of the total daily diet, the afternoon snack should be as light as possible, and dinner should be about 25%.

The amount of food consumed depends entirely on the child’s appetite. It is wrong to force a baby to eat something he doesn’t like, to blackmail him with food, games, and to put moral pressure on the child. In this case, you will only make things worse and the child will refuse to eat altogether. If you overfeed a child by force, this will certainly lead to consequences such as excess weight, lack of mobility in the baby, and as a result - health problems.

What to do if a child refuses to eat?

Does your child refuse food during the day? What to do in this case? Force him to eat or are there other methods?

So, if a child has a decreased appetite and refuses to eat all the foods that you offer him, then in this case it would not be a bad idea not to follow the established routine, but to offer the baby meals at the time he wants.

For example, at 9-10 pm or vice versa - early in the morning (if the child wakes up early). Children usually enjoy eating yoghurt with cookies, dairy products, sweets, and sticks.

How to process food?

It is very important for children aged 1.5 years to 3 to process food correctly. If before your baby was 1-1.5 years old, then you probably pureed meat, fish, cereals, prepared light cutlets, meatballs, soufflés for him. You also did not give your child whole, fresh fruits and vegetables; you had to grate them or chop them in a blender.

When a child is 1.5 years old, such careful processing of products is not needed. You can already give him a hard apple, carrot, etc. The consistency of other dishes should not be liquid, but more dense. The child must learn to bite food and chew it (after all, it’s not for nothing that he got teeth).

At the age of 1.5 years to 3, fried foods appear in the child’s diet - cutlets, fish, but stewed and boiled foods should not be excluded (combine and combine them). Try to use less processed foods - cereals, purees, juices, canned food. Remember, in principle, homemade food cannot be better and healthier.

How to organize your diet?

It takes about 3-4 hours for an older child to digest food. This means that you need to eat every 3 hours. Even if we are not talking about a full meal, then at least a snack. Of course, no one forces you, as a parent, to observe the established time limits, but, nevertheless, it will be better for the child’s health. By the way, snacks should also be healthy - fruits, yoghurts, and not sweets, cakes and pastries. If the child is 1.5 years old and has a weak appetite, then a fifth feeding is possible - morning or evening.

High-calorie foods containing large amounts of protein should prevail in the first half of the day so that it is easier for the child to digest it.

Answers to parents' questions

Yes, milk is very important for a 1.5-3 year old child. If we talk about a certain amount, then a baby at that age needs to receive about 600 ml of dairy products (pure milk, curds, kefir, fermented baked milk, etc.). These are the products that should be available daily. As for cheese, sour cream, cream, cottage cheese casseroles - they can be alternated daily.

How much meat can a child eat?

Protein should be in a child's diet. It promotes the synthesis of DNA (genetic information), RNA, as well as the production of calcium and nitrogen. But not all types of meat are good for a child. Thus, duck and goose meat contains a large amount of fats, which are not always well digested by the child’s stomach. Poultry, veal, turkey, and rabbit are suitable for children's diets.

What kind of fish should I give my child?

From one year of age and older, fish must be included in a child’s diet. The protein of this product is quite well absorbed and tolerated by the baby. It is recommended to give your baby 3-4 dishes made from fish per week. The ideal option is sea fish (hake, sea bass, cod). But it is not recommended to give caviar to children, as it contains a large amount of salt (if you decide to experiment, then only a little).

Can eggs cause an allergic reaction?

Eggs can indeed cause a persistent allergic reaction. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to consume them in large quantities. For children, eggs are only suitable hard-boiled or in the form of an omelet with fresh vegetables. Under no circumstances should you give eggs raw.

Regarding vegetable oil, a child over the age of 1.5 years can have 5 grams of oil and 15 grams of butter.

What kind of cereals can be eaten at the age of 1-3 years?

Buckwheat, barley, oatmeal, wheat and pearl barley. As the baby gets older, you can introduce more buckwheat. It is recommended to add vegetables and fresh fruits to porridge. The amount of cereal per day is no more than 20-25 grams.

The older our baby gets, the more foods we can safely introduce into his diet, but there are still a number of restrictions. Children's menus from 1 year of age should be varied, healthy and tasty, but they are far from being suitable for adults, since the baby's body is not yet strong enough. From this article we will learn how to choose the right diet for children over 1.5 years old, so that they eat both profitably and with pleasure.

What should be on a little fidget's plate after a year? Let's look at the most important nutritional principles for children of this age.

Principles of nutrition

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 follow a daily routine.

At breakfast, the baby should receive 25% of the total daily ration, at lunch - 35%, at dinner - 25%, and in the afternoon - 15%. This distribution will teach him to continue to eat properly.

Food structure

Now that the child already has significantly more teeth, it is not necessary to wipe or grind food in a blender; it will be enough to mash it with a fork or grate 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 puree or souffle, but also cutlets, meatballs and meatballs.

Heat treatment

Fried foods are still unacceptable in the diet. It doesn’t matter what we are talking about, meat, cereals or vegetables, we steam them.

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

Breakfast

As we remember, it should be quite high in calories, protein and carbohydrates. It is optimal to cook porridge with milk or water.

Children's menus from 1.5 years old may include oatmeal, wheat porridge, buckwheat and millet. They are the most useful. As for rice, it is better to cook it less often, since unpolished, that is, brown, is still rough for the baby’s gastrointestinal tract, and white is less healthy.

We offer you several sample breakfast options.

Option I - porridge

Millet

Let's prepare milk millet porridge. The serving should be approximately 150 – 170 ml.

To prepare the most healthy porridge, you need to cook it as little as possible, and for this you just need to soak the cereal for a few hours or overnight. Millet is the densest and most difficult to boil, so it makes sense to soak it in the evening.

• Pour 2 tbsp. cereals and leave overnight.
• In the morning, we wash the cereal, fill it with clean water so that it covers the millet by less than half a finger, add salt and put it on the fire.
• As soon as the porridge boils, add 2 tbsp. milk, add 1 tsp. sugar and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
• Turn off the finished porridge, let it stand under the lid for 5 - 10 minutes and serve. You can add 1 tsp per serving. butter.

Instead of sugar, you can use jam or preserves as a sweetener, but it is better to avoid honey for now - it is too allergenic.

Oatmeal

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

Fill them with boiling water in a ladle so that the water is level with the cereal, add some salt and cover with a lid. Let it sit for about half an hour, pour in 3-4 tbsp. milk and put on fire. Bring to a boil, that’s it, you can turn off the porridge, it’s ready!

We also fill 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 cottage cheese

We choose a product with medium fat content, 9 or 15%. Nutritionists categorically do not recommend eating village cottage cheese for children 1.5 years old because the fat content in it is too high.

The serving should be approximately 100 - 150 g. You can use children's store-bought cottage cheese. If desired, add fresh fruit 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 by combining both ingredients.

Cottage cheese with oat flakes

To begin, 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 tbsp to it. the resulting oatmeal, sweeten it with sugar or jam at your discretion, mix and serve! From such a curd mass you can form a hedgehog or any other figure familiar to your baby.

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

Option III - omelet

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

1. Mix 1 egg with 3 tbsp in a plate. milk, salt.
2. Then take a small jar with a lid, grease the walls with vegetable oil, pour the egg mixture into it and place it in a pan with cold water. The level should correspond to the height of the omelette.
3. Place on the fire and cover the pan with a lid. After boiling, cook the omelette for 20 minutes, turn it off, let it cool without opening it and take it out. To do this, you need to shake the jar, then the omelette will slide out on its own.

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

In addition to this breakfast, you can offer a slice of bread and butter. From the age of 1.5 years, a 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, since rye varieties are much more difficult to digest and can cause bloating.

Dinner

Lunch should account for the largest amount of food, as we remember, so for starters, you can offer your child a salad. The portion should be purely symbolic so as not to kill your appetite before the main course, but fresh vegetables improve peristalsis and have a positive effect on the body as a whole, so you shouldn’t neglect the salad either.

Well, if the child is not a fan of first courses, it will even more so become a worthy alternative to soup.

Salad

In the summer we cook from seasonal vegetables - tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers. We chop everything finely or grate it. The serving should be about 1.5 tbsp, fill it with ½ tsp. vegetable oil or low-fat sour cream.

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

First course

Children's menus from 1 year of age include the preparation of soups, both vegetable and meat broths, so we can safely choose what the child likes. The main condition is that if the first is vegetable, the second must contain animal protein.

Option 1 – beetroot soup with rice

Thanks to the vegetables included in the composition, it combines the qualities of a salad.

• To prepare 2 servings, take a piece of chicken fillet 60 - 70 g. Fill it with 2 glasses of filtered water and put it on fire.
• Meanwhile, grate 30 g of raw beets (3 x 2 cm block), peel ½ of a medium tomato and finely chop along with ¼ of a bell pepper.
• As soon as the chicken boils, salt it to taste and, after waiting 10 minutes, add the vegetables to the broth. We also put ½ tbsp of white rice there. Cook until the cereal is ready.
• Cut the meat into small pieces and serve with 1 teaspoon of low-fat sour cream or the same amount of olive oil.

Option 2 – fish soup with cauliflower

We choose the fillet at our discretion: pangasius, tilapia or sole. We will need 60 - 70 g. Pour in 2 glasses of water and put on fire.

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

As soon as the fish boils, add vegetables to it and add some salt. Cook until the cauliflower is ready.

If desired, you can add ½ tbsp to this soup. “Gossamer” noodles, this will make him more filling, but remember that you shouldn’t give pasta to a 1.5-year-old child more than 2-3 times a week.

Second course

You should not often choose potatoes - they contain too much starch; it is better to accustom your baby to stews made 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. Add ½ tbsp there. rice, salt and pour 1/3 cup of milk.

Simmer until the cereal is ready and at the end of cooking add a separately beaten raw chicken egg. Stir the stew several times to cook the egg faster, turn it off and serve.

This dish, as you can see, combines both vegetable and protein components.

Option 2 – liver soufflé with vegetables

To prepare the soufflé, we will need turkey or chicken liver - they are more tender and milder in taste than beef.

Place 200 g of liver, crumb from one slice of white bread, 50 ml of milk and 1 egg into a blender. Beat everything well until smooth. Add some salt, mix again and place in silicone molds, filling them 2/3 full.

We bake the soufflé either in a slow cooker using the “steam” mode, in the microwave (2-3 minutes) or in the oven. To do this, place the molds in a baking tray half filled with water and cook at 180°C for 20 minutes.

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

Compote

One and a half year old children love dried fruit compote. We make it almost unsweetened, since the taste will already be very rich.

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

Serve cooled.

Afternoon snack

During the intermediate meal, we offer the baby something light, like fruit - 1-2 slices of apple, crackers or unsweetened cookies.

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

Or you can make a wonderful carrot casserole, older children will also appreciate it, so let’s make more.

1. 200 g of carrots, three 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 cook.
2. If necessary, add water.
3. Let cool and beat in 1 egg.
4. Mix, add 80 - 100 g of cottage cheese.
5. Add sugar to taste and stir again.
6. Place the mixture on a greased frying pan, baking sheet, or fill silicone molds with it and bake for 25 - 30 minutes at 180°C.

Serve the finished casserole with sour cream and jam.

Dinner

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

Option 1 – fish pilaf

We choose fish fillets based on the child’s tastes, remembering that it should not be fatty and bony.

• Grate ½ medium carrots, finely chop ½ onion.
• In a small deep frying pan or saucepan, heat 2 tsp. olive oil and add vegetables to it, salt.
• Keep them stirring for 5 – 7 minutes.

While they are cooking, cut 100 g of fish fillet into pieces. Add to vegetables and mix. Wash 50 g of round rice well and also place it in a frying pan. Pour water onto your finger and close.

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

Serve sprinkled with herbs.

Option 2 - turkey cutlets with buckwheat

• Cut 200 g of fillet into cubes and place in a blender bowl along with 2 quail eggs (or ½ chicken), 1 tbsp. breadcrumbs and 1/3 chopped onion.
• Grind everything, add a little milk if necessary, and salt.
• Let the minced meat sit for 15 – 20 minutes and form the cutlets.

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

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

Many parents They mistakenly believe that a one-year-old child can eat everything that adults eat. In fact, young children need a more balanced diet and not all adult foods are suitable for them. The child’s body is still imperfect and weak, so improper nutrition can lead to serious illnesses for the child. For children under 1.5 years old, meals should be five times a day, and hot food should be given at least twice a day.
