According to the human body's demand for nutrients, a child of 18 months should probably consume the following nutrients every day: total heat 1200 calories, protein 40 g, fat 33-40 g, calcium 600 mg, iron 10mg and vitamin A 1300 units. When the above nutritional requirements are converted into specific foods, generally speaking, the quantity of staple food is 100 ~ 150g, fish, meat and eggs are about 75g, and vegetables are about 100 ~ 150g. Because dairy products are nutritious and delicious, they can be given to children. However, the above quantification is not static. If a child grows faster and taller than ordinary children, then his nutrition will be relatively improved to meet his growth needs.
18 months old children have more than a dozen teeth, and the staple food has gradually changed from milk to mixed food. Add complementary food should pay attention to is:
1, the baby's stomach capacity is limited, so it is advisable to eat less and eat more meals. /kloc-after 0/1/2 years, it should be reduced to three meals, and the snack time can be in the afternoon. But when adding a little heart, we should pay attention to the following points: first, snacks should be moderate, not too much; Second, the time should not be too close to the dinner, so as not to affect the appetite of the dinner, and don't give the baby snacks at will, otherwise the nutrition will be unbalanced after a long time.
2. Eat more vegetables and fruits. One of the main sources of baby's daily nutrition is vegetables, especially orange-green vegetables, such as tomatoes, carrots, rape and sweet peppers. These vegetables can be processed into soft and rotten minced vegetables, fried and seasoned, and fed to the baby in rice. It should be noted that fruits should also be given to babies, but fruits cannot replace vegetables. 1 -2-year-old babies should eat vegetables and fruits every day * * * 150-250g.
3. Appropriate intake of animal and plant protein. Meat, fish, beans and eggs contain a lot of high-quality protein. You can use these foods to make soup, or feed your baby easily digestible foods, such as minced meat, fish balls, tofu, egg soup and so on. 1-2-year-old babies should eat 40-50g meat, 25-50g bean products and 1 eggs every day.
4, milk is rich in nutrients, especially calcium, which is beneficial to the baby's absorption. Therefore, milk is still an indispensable food for babies in this period, and the intake of 250-500 ml should be guaranteed every day. 5. Eating coarse grain flour and rice together can avoid vitamin B 1 deficiency. The staple food can be soft rice, porridge, steamed buns, wonton, jiaozi and steamed bread. It doesn't matter if you don't eat much. The daily intake is about 150g.
5. Feed one new food at a time. A very important principle for babies to start eating is to eat one at a time, and sometimes they need to add some soup or boiled water to make a paste. Then, gradually, he will eat the same food as his family. Soon, you will see that most of what he eats is food grabbed from the table, which is only finely cut or ground into mud. At the beginning of feeding complementary food, give a new food at a time, try a small amount and observe the baby's acceptance. The concentration of food must be changed from thin to thick.
6. Pay attention to feeding methods. When feeding complementary food, you can put the food in a bowl or cup and feed the baby with a spoon, so that the baby can gradually adapt to the adult's eating style and etiquette. For example, when mixing milk and complementary food, try to feed your baby with a spoon and avoid feeding with a bottle.
In order to adapt to children's digestive ability, it is necessary to improve the absorption and utilization rate of various nutrients. When arranging food for children, we should diversify the variety of food, pay attention to the color, fragrance and taste of food, and ensure that children can eat enough food.
How to arrange a week's complementary food for children of 18 months?
When arranging children's recipes, we should not only consider the needs of children's growth and development, but also take care of children's dietary characteristics. From the perspective of growth and development, children's recipes should be whole grains, meat, eggs and vegetables with good quality and sufficient quantity to ensure the supply of various nutrients for children.
When making children's recipes for one week, we must first determine the recipes for one day. To make a good recipe, we must consider the following three aspects:
1. Ensure that children can consume 1200 kilocalories and 40 grams of protein every day.
2. In three meals a day, the heat energy in meals should be reasonably distributed, so that the heat energy provided by food in breakfast accounts for 26% of the heat energy provided by food in the whole day, lunch accounts for 35%, dinner accounts for 30%, and noon accounts for 5~ 10%.
3. As far as various nutrients in food are concerned, heat production in protein accounts for 12~ 14% of the total heat energy, of which fat accounts for 30~35% and carbohydrate accounts for 50~60%.
According to the above principles, refer to the food nutrition composition table, and combine the local market supply and food expenses to arrange a day's recipe.
