Babies can get enough nutrition through breast milk when they are young, but as they grow older, the amount of nutrients they need gradually increases. The nutrients in breast milk are simply not enough, so babies need to get nutrients from other foods in order to grow up healthy. What should I pay attention to when arranging the diet of an 18 month old baby?
How to arrange the diet of an 18 month old baby
At 18 months old, the baby is already able to stand up on their own, so try to find an independent space for the baby. The surroundings should be arranged safely. The baby's diet is mostly solid food. At this time, the baby has grown some teeth and has chewing ability. As long as the food is made softer and smaller, the baby will easily eat it. During this period, babies are exposed to more and more types of food. It is important not to let babies support one or two types of food, as this can lead to malnutrition. At 18 months old, a baby's diet should include both staple foods such as noodles and rice, as well as vegetables and meat. We also need to add some fruits in the middle.
