As you know, proper (healthy and tasty) nutrition is the key to the health of the baby. And, of course, breakfast plays a major role in the daily diet. In order for the baby to have enough energy for the whole day, in the morning you need to eat fully, correctly and, of course, tasty food. That is, stock up on vigor until the evening.

And so that the baby does not protest against “healthy breakfasts”, they should be approached creatively and lovingly.

What is the use of porridge?

• Oatmeal. Universal dietary breakfast, rich in vitamins, beneficial acids, microelements, vegetable proteins. Oats are an ideal antioxidant, an assistant in the digestive tract, a source of biotin (a vitamin, the lack of which leads to weakness, drowsiness, decreased appetite, etc.).
• Buckwheat. A real storehouse of vitamins. The core is a natural and tasty mini-pharmacy that rids the body of bad cholesterol, has a positive effect on the functioning of the heart, and has an antitoxic effect. The list of virtues of buckwheat is huge.
• Barley. At first glance, not the most appetizing, but extremely healthy porridge. Barley porridge contains a lot of vitamins, protein and starch, trace elements, lysine (an antiviral amino acid).
• Rice. This porridge is good for the intellect, rich in fiber, a supply of vitamin B and protein.
• Millet. Cup for the heart. This breakfast is rich in minerals, vitamin PP, amino acids, trace elements.
• Corn. Breakfast for the digestive tract. Contains vitamins (PP, C, B), carotene, lysine and tryptophan, fiber, silicon. Porridge reduces fermentation in the intestines, removes toxins, and is low in calories.

Barley porridge for a baby of 1-3 years old is still too early (it is difficult to digest), semolina is also not recommended, but the rest of the cereals will be very useful.

How to make porridge delicious for a child?

• Add a piece of butter (butter) during the cooking process.
• Pour a little milk into the porridge (when ready) and boil.
• Add fruits (dried fruits), nuts, jam or preserves, vegetables.
• Add baked apple or grated cheese.
• Add fruit puree, crushed or whole berries.
• Add fruit juice for color.
• Add the whipped mass of boiled vegetables (pumpkin, carrots, cauliflower).

Get creative. Porridge for breakfast can become a "canvas" on a plate - with the help of fruits, candied fruit or jam, "draw" culinary landscapes, unknown animals or fantastic characters for the child. Not a single child will refuse such porridge.

Omelette

Omelettes are usually protested less often than cereals, but such a breakfast also requires decoration and mother's imagination. Omelet is useful for the content (in eggs and milk) of vitamins B, E, A, D, fats and proteins, useful elements.

Tips:

• Egg consumption should be moderate to avoid allergies.
• Quail eggs are ideal (the risk of allergies is reduced to a minimum, there are no strict restrictions). Instead of 1 chicken - 3-4 quail.
• Eggs should be rinsed with water first.
• Cooking options: bake in a frying pan under a lid (after 2 years), bake in the oven or steam (from 1 year).
• To make the omelette tasty and attract the attention of the baby, add vegetables (carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini or potatoes), greens to the dish. From above, we “draw” funny pugs with the help of products, plant tomato ladybugs, etc.

What can you make an omelette for a child with?

• Omelet with cheese and zucchini. Zucchini are pre-fried, after which they are poured with a future omelette (eggs and milk, 2: 1). Grated cheese can be sprinkled after the omelet has risen.
• With herbs and tomatoes. Beat 3 quail eggs with milk, add chopped greens and tomatoes, a piece of butter, put in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
• With broccoli and carrots (from 1.5 years).
• With potatoes and grated cheese (from 1 year).
• With vegetables (from 1.5 years). Zucchini, greens, carrots, sweet peppers.
• With carrots and cauliflower (from 1.5 years).

• With fish. Pour the boiled fish with the future omelette and bake in the oven or microwave.

Foods that should not be taken for a children's dinner:

• Fat meat.
• Smoked products.
• Fried meals.

A healthy and tasty dinner for children may consist of:

• Baked fish.
• Steamed chicken breast with vegetables.
• Creative casserole.

In any case, dinner should evoke positive emotions in the child, so it is best to cook it from those foods that the baby loves the most.

By the age of 2, the child has already formed an understanding of which dishes and foods he likes and which he does not. Try to please the little gourmet and find a compromise between "tasty" and "healthy".

Dinner recipes for a child 2 years old

Recipes for a delicious and healthy dinner for children can be found today on the Internet. There are a lot of them, there are dishes for every taste, here are some of them:

• Buckwheat with chicken. We cook buckwheat. Pour the washed cereal into the pan and fill it with water so that there is more water by 2 fingers. We put on a big fire. When the porridge boils, salt to taste, reduce the heat and cook for another 15-20 minutes, until the liquid boils away. Boil the chicken (thigh, breast or leg without skin) until tender or steam it.
• Fish fillet with rice. We cook rice. Pour the cereal into the pan, fill it with water and cook until fully cooked, after which we wash the rice. Cooking fish. It is best to bake fish fillets in the oven. To do this, salt and pepper the washed and peeled pieces a little, add other spices to taste, wrap in foil and bake in the oven.
• Meatballs with vegetables. We form meatballs from minced chicken, put them in a mold and bake in the oven, covered with foil, so that the juice does not evaporate and the meat does not burn on top. The vegetables are coarsely chopped and slowly stewed in a small amount of olive oil in a thick-walled pan for about 20-30 minutes, until they become soft.

It often happens that a child who has already had dinner before going to bed again asks for food. In this case, give him a glass of milk or yogurt. At night, the body does not need food, this is a psychological effect. If the baby woke up at night and asked for food, give him a cup of water or compote.

These are not all the dishes that can be cooked. Dinner recipes for children are very diverse, and depend on the preferences of the baby and the capabilities of the parents.

Good afternoon, dear readers!

The problem of nutrition is an important issue on which our health depends. But if we, adults, often neglect it, then the children's body is very dependent on what enters it. Basically, parents carefully take care of the nutrition of children until they are one year old.

If the baby has already switched to full-fledged adult food, and the breast for him is only a way to calm down, adults forget about the children's diet and begin to feed the child from the common table.

This is not always correct. There should be a special menu for a child of 2-3 years old, which will allow his organs and systems to develop normally.

First, dear readers, let's figure out which products must be present in the children's diet:

• low-fat dairy products - up to 600 g per day (cottage cheese - 50-100 g, sour cream - 10-20 g, the rest - cheese, kefir, yogurt, milk);
• lean meats (veal, beef, lambs, rabbits) -120 g per day;
• eggs (preferably quail) and seafood (low-fat fish);
• vegetables (100-120 g of potatoes per day, zucchini, pumpkin, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage);
• fruits (100-120 g per day), berries (10-20 g per day);
• cereals, sugar (10-20 g per day, taking into account the sugars found in juices and other products).

From sweets, it is allowed to give marshmallows, biscuit cookies, marmalade, marshmallow (it is desirable that they be on a natural basis).

What foods should not be given to children at this age?

• hard-to-digest seafood (crabs, shrimp);
• sausage products of industrial production, which contain preservatives and dyes;
• fatty meat (lamb, goose) and fish (flounder);
• melon, grapes (load the pancreas and increase the amount of gases in the intestines);
• ice cream (today this delicacy is prepared using dyes and preservatives, palm oil; if you want to treat your baby to ice cream, cook it yourself);
• cakes, chocolate, sweets, store-bought confectionery (the proportion of sugar in them exceeds all acceptable standards, and the quality of the products used for cooking is doubtful);
• carbonated drinks;
• cocoa (has a high fat content and invigorating effect);
• honey (if you are allergic to it).

Having selected food acceptable for a child at 2-3 years old, you can draw up an approximate menu for a week.
