A 16 month old baby can already walk, exercise more, and digest better. At this point, they are eating more than before and can also eat some solid foods. However, as children, it cannot be said that they eat like adults. How many meals does a 16 month old baby eat?
The specific number of meals a baby eats per day depends on their appetite, for example, some babies are more lively and have a larger appetite than the average baby. But a 16 month old baby is still relatively young, so it is best to eat small meals frequently. If they eat a lot at once, the interval between their next meals should be longer to avoid excessive feeding and increase gastrointestinal burden. In addition, the meals prepared by parents for their children must be easy to digest, and the ingredients should be chopped a little and cooked for a longer time.
A 16 month old baby's diet should contain rich vitamins, proteins, and fats. Milk, chicken, duck meat, various eggs, and soybeans are all good choices. Of course, fresh vegetables and fruits are also indispensable.
At this time, it is important to pay attention to adding complementary foods to the baby. Eggs should not be eaten too much every day, usually one or two, and should not exceed three at most. Eating too much can cause overnutrition or digestive problems. Don't let children eat things with particularly strong flavors, such as tomato sauce or chili sauce.
