Starting from the age of 6 months, babies start adding complementary foods. The types of food they eat gradually increase, and the amount of complementary foods they eat every day also gradually increases. The time they eat complementary foods is also gradually fixed. This requires a gradual process, and parents need to grasp the timing of each change and scientifically feed their babies complementary foods. So, how many complementary foods should a one year old baby have?
A one year old baby can eat three meals of complementary food per day. By around one year old, babies can eat almost all kinds of food, including staple foods. Although babies under the age of three still need to continue feeding formula, the proportion of milk will gradually decrease, and the daily milk intake should be controlled within 800 milliliters. Around one year old babies can have a fixed daily feeding time, three meals a day, to cultivate the habit of eating like adults.
At this time, there are many foods that babies can eat, such as various vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, eggs, etc. As long as they are cooked properly, they can be given to babies to eat. There are also staple foods such as rice, thick Congee, Mantou, noodles and cakes, bread, etc., which can be eaten by the baby, but it is also important to pay attention to the food that should be carefully prepared so that the baby can not chew it.
To cultivate good eating habits in babies, it is recommended to have them sit on the dining cart and eat complementary foods. The time for each meal should be limited to 20-30 minutes, not too long, and not allow them to play and eat at the same time. Baby's complementary foods should not contain too much oil and salt, and the taste should not be too heavy.
