What should a 2-year-old baby eat in complementary food?
Children grow up to two years old, usually weaned or being weaned. At this time, the baby can eat some digestible food as a supplementary food.

Two-year-old babies are generally in the sensitive period when their children have just been weaned, and may have slight anorexia. Parents should be patient and let the baby gradually adapt to other foods to get nutrition, so parents should pay special attention to their children's diet during this period. In addition to giving children the right amount of milk every day, they can also supplement some nutritious meals and meat to enhance their nutrition and better physical development.

So, what should a two-year-old baby eat?

1. Tofu Lean Meat Pill: Tofu contains a lot of protein and rich calcium, which can supplement the nutrition necessary for children's growth and development, and is fine in texture and easy to absorb.

Raw materials need a small piece of tofu, 50 grams of pork, appropriate amount of starch and a small amount of chopped green onion. The specific production method is: chop pork into minced meat, then grind tofu into powder, add chopped tofu, starch and chopped green onion into minced meat, and stir evenly. Next, knead the stirred minced meat into balls and put them evenly on the plate. Be careful that the meatballs are not too big, so that it is difficult to steam them when they are steamed. Finally, put the plate into a steamer and steam it for about 12 minutes.

2. Chicken broccoli noodles: Broccoli contains a lot of vitamins, as well as trace elements such as phosphorus and iron, and chicken has a high protein content. This kind of complementary food can make children take in more balanced nutrition. The raw materials are 60 grams of chicken breast, 40 grams of broccoli, 60 grams of fine noodles and 200 ml of broth. The specific method is to cut the broccoli into small flowers, blanch it in water 1-2 minutes and then take it out, and then cut the chicken breast into small pieces. Then heat the broth in a pot, add broccoli and chicken breast, and cook until soft. Finally, add the spaghetti, cook and serve.

3. Lotus root starch millet porridge: Lotus root starch contains trace elements such as potassium and magnesium, which plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells in the blood. Millet is very helpful for the health of the spleen and stomach. The required raw materials include millet 100g, 3 spoonfuls of lotus root starch, 20g of sugar and appropriate amount of water. The specific production method is to wash the millet first, add appropriate amount of water to soak it for 1 hour, then move it to the fire to boil, and then turn off the heat until the millet becomes soft.

Vegetable pig liver mud: The iron content in pig liver is very high, and the nutrients in animal viscera are more easily absorbed by human body than other foods, which can prevent anemia in children. The raw materials include 20g pork liver, rape 1 piece, tomato 1 piece and carrot 1 piece. The specific method is to clean the pig liver, remove the fascia and chop it up, cut other vegetables into pieces, then add oil to the pot, put the pig liver and diced vegetables in the pot and fry until cooked, then add a proper amount of water to boil the soup, and then put the juice into a grinding bowl and mash it into mud, so that the pig liver mud is finished.
