Daria, good afternoon. I tried to buy cards for 190 rubles, but while I switched to Sberbank, the page was already closed. The time for the session has expired. But somehow, I didn't even have time to look at the number for payment.
Answer: Please write to, I will help.

Olga: | November 6th, 2017 | 3:27 pm

Thanks for the interesting menu. But why are the dishes repeated? Does it turn out to be cooked for 2 days?
Answer: Olga, the menu is based on the menu of the week method. Yes, for two days. It's easier and more convenient, especially if you have a large family. Soup and salad are prepared on one day for two days (salads except fresh vegetables), on the second day, the second and pastries are prepared. And so it alternates. Thus, it turns out that every day there is a soup, and a second, and a salad, and pastries or dessert;) But if you are not satisfied with this method, then you can cook new dishes every day.

Valeria: | May 7th, 2017 | 1:38 pp

My son doesn’t want to eat at all, only semolina porridge, just as she didn’t try to ask and it’s interesting to arrange it. He cries and that’s all. Only porridge! I was at the doctor, he said to give omega-3 and that's it. After the omega can eat 1 spoon and that's it.
Answer: Valeria, if your child has any problems with nutrition, choice of food or dishes, “pick and choose” + your goal is to learn how to eat correctly and in a balanced way, then I advise you to choose a training on nutrition for children

Rose: | April 17th, 2017 | 6:48 pm

And when milk. Child 1.7 is very fond of milk and dairy products
Answer: Rose, if the child loves milk and tolerates it well, then you can offer a glass of milk or other fermented milk drink for breakfast, afternoon tea or a second dinner. This is just an example of the menu, you can always change it to suit the tastes of your baby.

Fedor: | March 18th, 2017 | 9:53 pm

Answer: Fedor, come to our training "How to teach a child to eat right in 2 weeks" :) I'll tell you :)

Rachkova Elena grandmother:| June 9th, 2016 | 10:49 pm

Everything is very cool! I am a technologist by profession. My grandson is two years old and I try very hard to feed him correctly, but unfortunately, we do not have those high-quality products that children need. Chemical pots, meat is also stuffed, cottage cheese is not real. Even it becomes scary than we feed ?

Maria: | May 12th, 2016 | 8:03 dp

Thanks for the recipe menu and doctor's advice. But I am a little intimidated by the roasted recipes (ratatouille soup, for example). Is it possible for kids to eat fried?
Answer: Maria, of course, for small children, soups are prepared without frying, otherwise you follow the recipe.

Julia: | April 4th, 2016 | 3:43 pm

Normal kids menu, just like the good old days. And for me, many mothers are very lazy, they consider a separate menu for a child to be superfluous after a year, they transfer it to a common table, give meat in a piece, poorly fried, dried ham and other non-children's products. This is wrong and unhelpful for the baby.
Answer: Julia, thanks for the comment! Of course, you can transfer to a common table after a year, but, of course, you are right - you need to do it right. So that it contributes to the development of interest in food in the child and does not harm his health. The main thing is that this common table is useful and adequate for the baby. In addition, such "children's" food will generally be beneficial for all family members.

Victoria: | January 31st, 2016 | 1:10 pp

I also really liked the recipes, otherwise I was already tortured to invent it myself, thanks!
Answer: Victoria, bon appetite to the baby!

Svetlana: | December 11th, 2015 | 5:11 pm

Please tell me how to teach a child to spoon? And then we can't eat soups from the menu ... yes, and everything else that can only be done with a spoon: (he is now 2 years old ... but from 1.5 years old the spoon is like an enemy of some sort: ((
Answer: Svetlana, the soup can be offered ... to drink :) Like a cocktail through a wide tube. For this, the soup must be whipped in a blender, as in this recipe. And you can also invite a few kids who are confident in using a spoon to visit “for soup”. Eating in a company is always more fun :) Well, do not forget that you can already give a baby fork - maybe this device will fall into the mercy :)

Lyudmila: | November 12th, 2015 | 12:45 pm

Thanks a lot for the menu!

Elena: | October 9th, 2015 | 3:02 dp

Answer: Catherine, to your health!

In a few days the child is one year old. By the first year of life, breast milk alone is not enough. To restore the expended energy, correct metabolic processes, as well as normal growth and development, he needs to receive a sufficient amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts and vitamins every day. All this is found in various foods of plant and animal origin.

In order for the baby to eat with pleasure, and this is very important for the normal assimilation of food, the prepared dishes should not only be healthy, but tasty. And the ones that Mom made for dinner should also be easy to digest.

Therefore, very often the question arises, what to cook for a child at 1 year old? This is what our today's conversation will go on on the site "Popularly about health". We'll talk about the general basics of baby food at this age and look at some recipes that are suitable for an evening meal.

Basics of the diet of a one-year-old child

As we have already said, for the full development, growth of the baby, maintaining good health, he needs a full, balanced diet. By the time he was one year old, he was already familiar with some "adult" foods, although the basis of the diet is still dairy.

The baby still loves to kiss his mother's breast. However, I have already tasted the porridge on cow's milk, yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, kefir and cheese. Increasingly, he is given mashed potatoes from vegetables, fruits, lean meat, light soups and other dishes.

The main meal is breakfast and lunch. An afternoon snack is usually a light snack. Dinner should be light but satisfying at the same time. Wherein evening reception food 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 the baby. Therefore, when preparing dishes, add them only slightly.

Harmful sweets

In general, sugar in the children's diet is absolutely not a healthy thing. You should not teach him to sweet from such an early age. Compotes, juices, jelly are best cooked without this product at all.

But, if you think otherwise, the permissible sugar rate for a child at 1 year old is 30 g. Well, in general, many experts recommend replacing the harmful refined sugar 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, vegetable stew with mashed potatoes, courgette soufflé with chicken meat etc.

The main course is followed by a serving of fruit puree or juice. Just remember that in a day, the baby should receive no more than 100 g of puree and 100 ml of juice.

Recipes:

Mashed potatoes with chicken

For cooking you need: 100 g chicken breast, 2 potatoes, a quarter glass of milk, salt.

Preparation:

Cook the meat until tender. It should be very soft. Remove from the pan, and when cool, add a little hot milk and grind with a blender.

Boil the potatoes in salted water, drain the broth. Top up with hot boiled milk and make a light puree. Add chicken, mix well.

Vegetable soufflé

We need: 1 potato, 100 g of pumpkin pulp, the same amount of zucchini, half a carrot, a raw egg... You also need: a little sour cream, a sprig of dill, salt.

Preparation:

Wash the vegetables thoroughly, peel, cut into small cubes. Boil potatoes, carrots until half cooked. Add chopped squash and courgette and cook over very low heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from stove.

When the vegetables are cool, remove with a slotted spoon and put in the blender bowl. Add the egg, finely chopped dill, salt and chop.
Divide the mixture into oiled tins, such as a muffin tins.

Bake at 180C until tender (about 20 minutes). Finished goods brush with sour cream.

Chicken fillet cutlets

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 chicken eggs, salt.

Preparation:

Scroll the fillet through a meat grinder along with a slice of loaf. Place in a bowl. Add milk, yolk, salt, knead well. Form patties, steam them. The cooking time is approximately 45 minutes. Chop with a fork, serve with vegetable puree, for example, from zucchini.

Squash puree

We need: 50 g of peeled young zucchini, half a glass of milk, salt.

Preparation:

Boil the zucchini until soft. When cool, grind with a blender. Add boiled hot milk, salt, beat with a mixer.

Before bedtime

If your baby is still breastfeeding, you can breastfeed him again before bed. If he is artificial, or has already been weaned, it is useful to give him a portion of baby kefir.

In conclusion, it should be recalled that the amount of food consumed at this age is 1000 - 1200 g per day, excluding the liquid drunk.

A child from one to one and a half years old 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 pleasure and appetite.

More and more adult foods appear in the diet of a two-year-old baby. However, his digestive system is too sensitive, which excludes a complete transition to a common table. How many times should a child eat at 2 years old? At this age, meals are usually 4 meals a day, including breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. It is important to offer your baby food at the right time, at intervals of about 4 hours.

The child grows and develops all the time, so it is important for parents to competently organize his diet.

Foods in the diet of a two-year-old child

The basis of the menu in two years is cereals, light cream soups, lean meat and fish, dairy products, vegetables and fruits growing in the area where the family lives. Porridge is made thin or viscous, vegetables for stewing are finely chopped, the meat is scrolled in a meat grinder. The child should learn to bite off and chew solid foods, which make up a significant part of the adult diet.

Basis of the diet

The diet of two-year-old children must include:

Juices, fruits, vegetables and sweets

Vegetables are very healthy for a child, but not all children like to eat them. Therefore, unloved foods can be masked in mashed potatoes or cutlets.

Seasonal berries and fruits are required in the baby's diet. You can eat them yourself, make compotes, jelly, jelly. The daily norm for fruits is 200 grams, for berries - 20 grams. It is important to be careful with citrus fruits, watch the reaction (allergies are possible). It is permissible to add a slice of lemon to tea.
Vegetables and herbs saturate the body with valuable trace elements and improve digestion. The daily norm of vegetables is 300 grams, of which potatoes are 100 grams. They can be stewed, baked, mashed, chopped for salads. The kid can taste peas, beans, cabbage, radishes, garlic, onions. Greens - spinach, parsley, dill serve as a decoration and a useful addition to dishes.
Natural sweets are needed in limited quantities. A couple of times a week, you can offer marshmallow, jelly, jam. In rare cases, it is allowed to take ½ teaspoon of honey (you can sweeten the curd or casserole). For an afternoon snack, you can offer oatmeal or shortbread own production. It is better to wait a little with chocolate, cakes, sweets.
The daily juice rate is 150 ml. Drinks from fruits grown in the region where the baby lives are allowed. You can give juices from tetra packs intended for baby food. You should wait with drinks made from exotic fruits.

It is better not to buy sweets in the store, but to cook them yourself, for example, cookies. It will be much more useful for the baby.

One day menu

This article tells about typical ways of solving your questions, but each case is unique! If you want to know from me how to solve your particular problem - ask your question. It's fast and free!

Sour milk products, cereals, vegetables, fruits, soups or broths should be present in the daily diet of children. Meat should be alternated with fish and given every other day. The approximate amount of food is distributed as follows: 25% / 35% / 15% / 25% (breakfast / lunch / afternoon snack / dinner). The daily calorie content is 1200-1400 calories, of which fat should account for about 360.

An approximate menu for one day in 2 years looks like this:

Menu for the week

It is difficult for the mother of a 2-year-old to find time for the kitchen chores. Working with a child and adhering to the regime requires a lot of effort, so kitchen assistants (food processor, blender, multicooker) will help organize the day.

Two-year-olds love to watch their mother prepare lunch in the kitchen, so they can already be involved in this process.

Dishes for a hearty lunch

Two-year-old lunch should be balanced and nutritious without causing overeating

Find a compromise between useful and delicious lunch simply. Dishes prepared for the baby can be successfully served on a common table. However, not the other way around, since in baby food are used dietary products according to the season. Lunch consists of three courses that harmoniously complement each other and allow you to introduce new tastes. The child does not like zucchini, cauliflower and other vegetables? They can be camouflaged in stews, cream soup, or mashed vegetables.

Vegetable soup with nuts

Soak in cold water a handful of white beans for 2 hours. Rinse and cover the beans with water (300 ml), cook until tender. Add finely chopped small potatoes.

To prepare the meatballs, grind a piece boiled beef... Add pepper, salt, half a beaten egg and stir. Boil separately and put in soup before serving. Offer warm (35-40 degrees), garnished with herbs.

Meatballs can also be purchased ready-made, but for children's menu it's better to cook them yourself

Fish in a pot

Take hake fillet (200 grams), black pepper, salt, onion, hard cheese, ceramic pot. Put half a teaspoon of fresh butter, half a finely chopped onion and carrots in a pot. Place the washed fillet pieces smeared with sour cream on a vegetable pillow. Sprinkle with grated cheese on top, add 3 tbsp. warm water... Simmer in the oven, covered for 25 minutes.

Meatballs "mustache"

Skip 100 grams of lean beef through a meat grinder. Add 15 grams white bread soaked in milk, and scroll again in a meat grinder. Season with salt, pepper, beat lightly. Form meatballs from the thin mass and insert dry pasta into them so that the "mustache" sticks out from both sides. Place carefully in a shallow saucepan. Pour in water and simmer, covered for 20-25 minutes.

Afternoon snack menu

An afternoon snack is the smallest meal in terms of volume, but its importance for a growing organism is great. So that children can get the full range of nutrients, it is important to create a menu that will contain healthy meals.

Better to serve fresh fruits, compotes, vitamin smoothies, oatmeal cookies and other carbohydrate-rich foods. Simple and quick recipes there are a lot of photos with which it is easy to please a baby for an afternoon snack.

Banana pancakes very tasty, your kids will definitely like them

Knead the pancake dough (whey, sour cream, milk, kefir). Cook separately fruit puree, chopping the pulp of 1-2 ripe bananas in a blender. Mix well and bake in vegetable oil. Prepare the sauce by taking 1 chopped banana, a tablespoon of sour cream, a teaspoon of honey. Stir the ingredients and drizzle over the pancakes before serving.

The diet of a baby of this age is gradually approaching an adult, and the baby is quite comfortable with the general family table... Although, of course, his food is different from that of an adult and most of the dishes are prepared for him separately.

Food should be fresh, complete and balanced nutrition, with a sufficient content of proteins, fats, carbohydrates. The children's diet should consist of foods rich in vitamins and minerals.

In addition, children of this age already have their own taste preferences, which must be taken into account when preparing meals. After all, it is very important that the baby likes the food and creates an appetite. It is especially important to draw up a dinner menu, because in the evening food should be satisfying, but at the same time easy for digestion.

What products to make up the evening ration, what to cook for a child's dinner at 2 and 3 years old? This is what we will talk about today on the site "Popularly about health":

Evening ration for a baby at 2 and 3 years old

From the age of two, the baby should receive food 4 times - for breakfast, lunch, as well as afternoon tea and dinner. Almost half of the total amount is for lunch. The remaining half is split between breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner.

Breakfast is usually hearty, afternoon tea is a snack. Prepare for dinner simple dishes, without culinary "delights", easy to digest. These can be cereals, lean meat, vegetables, fruits and dairy products.

Food should be freshly prepared, homemade. Any semi-finished products from the store (rolls, sausages, sausages) are excluded. Also, in the evening, do not give your baby sandwiches, salty or sugary foods.

Dinner should not be later than an hour and a half before bedtime, so that the food has time to be digested and the baby sleeps peacefully at night. But, if the child is overweight, dinner time is different - at least two hours before bedtime. If he wants to eat later, give a cup of kefir or a glass natural yoghurt(not sweet).

What to cook at 2 - 3 years old for dinner? Recipes:

Omelette

We need a little food: 2 raw eggs, a quarter glass of milk, 1 tablespoon butter, 0.5 tsp flour, salt (very little).

Preparation:

Beat the eggs into a bowl, add salt, add flour, beat with a whisk until smooth. Heat oil over low heat. Pour milk into the egg mixture, stir well again and pour into the pan.

Cover with a lid, simmer at low temperature, 5-10 minutes. Turn off the stove, but do not open the lid yet for 2 minutes. So the finished omelet will remain fluffy and not settle.

Syrniki

For the recipe you will need: 200 g of fresh cottage cheese, 1 raw egg, half an apple, flour, a pinch of soda, sugar. We'll also prepare: vegetable oil and fresh sour cream.

Preparation:

Place the curd in a deep bowl, remember with a fork. Add a little sugar (to taste), beat in an egg. Peel half of the apple, cut out the core, wash, grate coarsely or cut into small cubes. Put the apple mass in the same bowl, add 3 tablespoons of flour, knead the dough well, until smooth.

Now place on a cutting board. Heat oil in a skillet. Moisten your hands with water, form small balls, flatten with your palms. Dip in flour and place in a skillet.

Cook over low heat so that the pancakes are fried and not burnt. When one side is browning, turn over and browse the other side.

Boil 3/4 cups of water in a wide saucepan or saucepan, add sour cream. Put the prepared cheesecakes and simmer under the lid, at a very low temperature, for another 5 minutes, until tender.

Cottage cheese pudding with apple

We will need: 200 g of cottage cheese, a raw egg, a small apple or half of it, 1 tablespoon each of sugar and bread crumbs.

Preparation:

Peel the apple and seeds, grate coarsely. Put the cottage cheese in a bowl, remember with a fork. Whisk in the egg yolk, add croutons and sugar. Add grated apples, stir.

Whisk the whites until dense foam, gradually add into curd dough, stirring thoroughly each time.

Grease the dishes where you will bake with butter. Pour in the dough. Cook in a preheated oven for about 40 minutes at 180C. Do not open the door for the first half hour, otherwise the pudding will settle.

Rice baked with prunes

Try making this tasty and healthy meal for a 2 year old toddler. A small portion an hour and a half before bedtime will be absorbed quite well and will saturate the baby.

We need: 2 tablespoons of round rice, a glass of milk, a few dried prunes, pitted.

Preparation:

Rinse rice well, add to boiling milk, reduce heat, boil porridge. Boil prunes (3-4 pieces) until soft, but separately. When it has cooled slightly, rub it through a colander or sieve.

Grease the dishes where you will bake with butter. Layer the rice and prunes. The last layer should be rice. Place in a preheated oven. Cook at 180C, about 20 minutes.

In conclusion, we note that a 3-year-old child, however, like a 2-year-old, already has a well-developed taste and has his own culinary preferences. This must be taken into account when drawing up his daily menu. It is important that he eats with appetite, then the food will be better absorbed.

To make your baby happy, try to decorate the food beautifully. At a common table, teach him to use cutlery and napkins. At the same time, show everything by your example.

If he is not hungry, do not force him to eat by force. Give him more independence and allow him to determine what he wants to eat and how much food he needs. Be healthy!

The guys seem so grown up at their three years old! They can do so much, they know so much. Many parents are mistaken in thinking that once a child has reached the age of three, then it is quite possible for him to eat adult food. Pediatricians argue that even for these "grown-up" children, it is still necessary to follow a certain diet.

How to feed a baby at 3 years old and how to make a menu for a child of these years for a week, we will now find out!

What can a child eat at 3 years old

The diet for a 3-year-old baby should include carbohydrates, proteins, vegetable and animal fats, vitamins and minerals. All this is necessary for the normal growth and development of the baby.
