THE FIRST SOLIDS IS MY 1 YEAR OLD BABY WELL FED?

 Food and nutrition your oneyearold baby

When the baby turns thirteen months old, the primary thing to try and do is ask yourself: But is my baby really eating badly? Sometimes we get obsessed, and to our surprise, the pediatrician tells us that our son (who doesn't taste chard, anything yellow, tangerine, or) is totally fed.

The idea isn't to force you to eat something you hate, but to form balanced, nutritious menus of the foods you're keen on.

How does one move to the spoon? Without shock?

• Thirteen-month-old babies can now scoop their plates without having to place all of their food to the disposal. The bad news is that if it had been difficult for them to complete some lentils, say, 15 minutes, now they'll invest 45 a minimum of. This process that each one children bear is incredibly important and can't be a burden for them or us.
• You have to twiddling my thumbs, take care to not choke, and overcome the temptation to return to the pureed foods they ate so quickly.
• If our son refuses to eat something that's not ground, allow us to give him a truce. you'll learn. we will always serve you half the crushed plate and also the partner sliced. Crushing some with a fork or chopping it into small pieces helps this stage.

How does one introduce new foods?

• You shouldn't expect him to like every new food. If he disgusts hot milk, as an example, we will give him yogurt or soft cheese. And if you hate spinach, we will always try green beans or the other vegetable that has similar nutritional properties.
• The trick that sometimes works miracles is to cover certain foods when cooked: in an omelette, with bechamel, make fillings?
• Like us, a thirteen-month-old is more drawn to a "beautiful" dish than to a bad-looking plate, so let's not serve his food in any way or fill his plate on top.
• Sometimes watching my mom or dad eat himself makes them want to imitate us.
• Her tastes are changing, so what did she spit a month ago, she would probably try again and this point suck her fingers.

What should a thirteen-month-old baby eat?

What your family eats, unless the pediatrician forbids it. A diet will include:

• Whole milk and its derivatives (soft cheese, yogurt ...).
• Legumes and potatoes. Grains (in bread, rice, biscuits ... they like it).
• Meat, fish and eggs (how much protein!). Fruits and vegetables (rich in vitamins and minerals).
• Fats, always in small amounts (olive oil is better).

Are there food forbidden?

No, but there are some things we'd like to scale back or delay a touch bit before including them in your diet:

• Lots of meat, aside from cooked turkey .
• Raw seafood, fish or meat.
• Treats, cakes, etc.
• And drink it with colorings and additives. Of course, those who contain caffeine or alcohol. Ideally, they must only drink water, milk, and natural fruit juices.
• F rutos dried (could suffocate).
• Sauces: mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup ...
• Too hot or very spicy (depending on the family's gastronomic habits, it'll be served little by little).
• Very salty or sugary foods (they still don't need hardly any salt or sugar in their diet, and it's a decent thing that they learn to taste the flavors of every food).
• Canned food. The cooler the higher.

Would you be healthier if you ate more?

The amount of food a baby needs is a smaller amount than we adults think. Anyway, if we predict our food isn't eating enough, we might act to consult our pediatrician. What usually happens is that oldsters don't prepare rations that match the age of our youngsters, but rather the age of our youngsters. When the child doesn't finish the dish, we predict he has eaten a bit. But this is often not true.

Fortunately, the time when your health was measured by the scale of your cheeks is over. a thin child doesn't mean that he eats little, it simply implies that he's thin. And it'd not be healthy to fall at the opposite end and measure in millimeters what our child eats in order that he doesn't gain the smallest amount amount of weight. Let's find the balance and provides it nothing more or but it needs. And this alone knows. Are you ordering more food? Then you would like more. don't desire more? you do not need more. that easy.

Should we stop her from biting?

Is it okay to try to to that? Babies clearly imitate us, so if we had opened the fridge all day, they'd want to try and do the identical. an honest strategy is to provide them just one occasion on a daily basis something to snack between meals and a minimum of not eat anything during the hour before meals.

Can you eat as a family now?

Of course. Mealtime is family time, a time of company and conversation. the kid should participate in this moment as another one; this fashion it prevents you from becoming the middle of attention.

Is it normal to own lots of stains?

Even if there was a bib that completely covered his body, he couldn't guarantee that it might not contaminate his chair, chair, or ourselves. So we've to arm ourselves patiently and remember that it's inevitable that it touches the food, and it makes a multitude. ?? it's a necessary stage in their development, it helps them gain independence, and thank God, it's fleeting.

Did we let his food get dizzy?

Why does he do that? Because you're not hungry or just because eating is simply too much fun and taking your time? If this is often the primary, then it's better to get rid of the plate. But if he's slow eating, what's his problem? Surely he's a awfully calm kid who chews his food great and has good digestion? lucky!

What if he refuses to eat?

Eating less isn't the identical as not needing to take a bite. If this happens sporadically, don't panic, nor can we enforce putting anything in his mouth because it should backfire.

• If you're sleepy. It is sensible that he just wants to sleep and be left alone. Then let him eat after he rests.
• You may want to be noticed. Babies are alert to changes, moods, and therefore the most vital problems ... the primary thing we must do is think if he doesn't receive much attention because reception we are especially restless. If so, spending a touch toys before eating will `` reconcile '' him with us, and he probably won't feel the requirement to say that affection through food.
• Because it's not so well. during this case, we are going to definitely notice that he's crying in a very different way. If after a long time it remains the identical, it's best to travel to the pediatrician.
