When babies are young, their diet is mainly based on milk, but they should start adding complementary foods around 6 months old to allow them to absorb more nutrients. What complementary foods do one year old babies eat?
1. Mashed potatoes. Wash the prepared potatoes and boil them with water. Afterwards, peel off the potato skin, cut it into small pieces, flatten it with a spoon, and season it with an appropriate amount of salt before feeding it to the baby.
2. Peanut and corn Congee. First, wash the rice thoroughly, then add an appropriate amount of water and cook it until cooked. Then, put the corn and peanuts in a blender and crush them. When the Congee becomes very thick, pour the crushed corn and peanuts into the Congee and cook for a while. Finally, add a little salt and you can eat it.
3. Pumpkin and millet porridge. Prepare a piece of fresh pumpkin, peel it and cut it into small pieces. Then wash the millet and add some water to boil it into millet porridge. Then add the pumpkin pieces and cook them together. When the Congee becomes very thick, you can eat it.
Although a one year old baby has already grown teeth and has some chewing ability, their ability is not strong. If they eat too hard or solid food directly, they may suffer from indigestion due to inadequate chewing. So when making complementary foods for babies, it is important to be more refined so that they can eat comfortably and absorb nutrients better.
