What to cook for a 10 month old baby.

By 10 months, your child is already eating many foods (vegetables, fruits, cereals, sour dairy products). Its menu has become varied. The diet included dishes that were thicker in consistency, designed for the developing chewing apparatus, growing teeth, the readiness of the gastrointestinal tract to absorb not only liquid food and mashed potatoes. By 10 months, you are already beginning to form a culture of eating in your baby: he eats, sitting at a table, picks up a spoon, he is wearing an apron, mom uses a napkin for her face and hands. You teach the little man to eat carefully. What will be the nutrition of a child at 10 months?


Drinking regime

In between meals, you can give your baby water, compotes, jelly, chamomile tea. Let the child decide for himself what kind of drinking regimen he will have, how much he drinks at one time.

The recipe for herbal tea can be compiled by you based on the recommendations of the pediatrician, taking into account the characteristics of the child's body. Remember that harsh rich herbal flavors and aromas are bad for the baby.

Meat diet

By 10 months, dishes from meat (50-60g), offal and fish have already been introduced into the child's diet. From rabbit meat, turkey, white chicken, beef or veal, you can cook not only mashed potatoes, but also steam or boiled cutlets or meatballs. It is still impossible to add spices to them, which have a bad effect on the children's body, cause allergic reactions. Dishes from the liver should not be given to the child more than 1 time per week.

Add meat and fish meatballs to vegetable soup, combine with dairy-free cereals, vegetable purees.

Fish meat can be given by simply chopping it into small pieces, combining them with soup, porridge or vegetables. Fish should be included in the diet once a week.

Fatty varieties of meat and fish are poorly absorbed by the infant's body. In addition, they cause allergic reactions.

The opinions of pediatricians about feeding with meat broths up to 1 year are divided. Dr. Evgeny Komarovsky recommends starting meat complementary foods with 1-2 tablespoons of meat chicken broth gradually introducing it into the diet. However, it is worth heeding the advice of experts who warn about the “heavy” composition of meat broth, in which substances boiled out of meat are concentrated that have a bad effect on the child’s body. Therefore, it is better to cook soup in vegetable broth.

Recipes for fish and meat meatballs and cutlets are similar: minced meat is mixed with bread crumb soaked in milk, the yolk of a chicken or quail egg, minced meat is formed into small balls and steamed or boiled.

Dairy products

There are already a lot of dairy dishes on the menu of a 10-month-old baby. Feeding with kefir and yogurt without any additives is best introduced into the menu in the evening. The composition of these dishes contributes to the work of the gastrointestinal tract, saturates the body with beneficial bacteria.

A child can eat cottage cheese with kefir, with a banana, and also in the form of casseroles. Gradually add fruits that are familiar to the baby to the casseroles. Depending on the degree of readiness of the baby's chewing apparatus, decide how much you need to chop the fruit.

By 10 months, the child eats milk porridge well. The menu can be diversified by introducing milk soup with noodles or small vermicelli into it. At this age, the baby should already be chewing soft, crushed food.

Fruit

At 10 months, the baby is already eating fruit purees tastes the first juices. In his diet there are apples, pears (they are poorly tolerated if the child suffers from constipation), peaches, bananas, plums. You can try the pulp of watermelon. However, remember that watermelon must be grown in a home garden without nitrates. The pulp must be very carefully cleaned of stones.

If the baby manages to chew well, then he can eat fruits (as well as vegetables), chopped, but not mashed.

Recipes for fruit dishes for babies will help diversify the feeding of the baby with fruit purees and salads with the addition of yogurt and cottage cheese. The table for introducing complementary foods from fruits will tell you how much and what kind of fruits a child can eat at 10 months.

As before, exotic fruits are poorly tolerated by the children's body. It is better not to give them to a baby under 1 year old.

Thus, at 10 months, the child's diet is as close as possible to an adult. The complementary feeding table will help you decide how much and what kind of food your baby can eat. The menu already includes 30-50g of juice, mashed potatoes, crushed biscuits, bread crumbs added to the soup. The child can already firmly hold a peeled piece of apple or a bread crust in the handle. But make sure that he only dissolves, and does not bite off pieces.

Whatever menu or recipes you choose, remember that it should be as useful as possible for the baby and include all of these components. This will ensure the health of your child and your peace of mind.

Breast milk continues to be included in the main menu of a child at 10 months. However, it is already produced much less, so you need to think carefully about how to feed the baby.

What is included in the diet?

The closer to a year, the more varied the child's diet becomes. Juices are far from the last place here. Moreover, you can give not only fruit juices, but also vegetable ones. And if the child does not like the latter, then you can mix them with fruit juices. He certainly should not refuse such a drink.

A portion of cereals should be 200 g and it is advisable to alternate cereals. Meat should be given no more than 50-60 g. Do not overload the baby's body with too much protein. No more than twice a week, a child can be given an egg yolk, half or whole, as well as cottage cheese. Fish should not be given often - once a week is enough.

In the diet of a child of 10 months, bread or special children's cookies are used as an addition to the menu. It usually melts quickly in your mouth. And various kinds of puree are usually supplemented with a small amount of vegetable or butter.

Since at this age the child already has several teeth, it is possible to cook cutlets or steamed meatballs from meat and fish. For lunch, you can cook soup, which does not need to be turned into a homogeneous mass.

Concerning breast milk, then it may be present in the diet 10 month old baby You can continue breastfeeding your child for up to two years.

Menu planning

For a 10 month old baby, food plays important role, since its further activity and its development depend on it. The more active he behaves, the more appetite he eats. By 10 months, every mother already knows what her baby loves most of all, and therefore she can decide what approximately portions should be fed.


For proper nutrition for a 10-month-old child, it is important that the menu includes all the necessary minerals. You should not buy ready-made sweets for your child and give him food, allergic. You should also feed at least 5 times daily, and sample menu a 10 month old baby could be:

  • 6 a.m. Breastfeeding or formula milk. Before breakfast, you need to give the baby some water, herbal tea or fruit juice. This will allow him to get used to the right diet.
  • For breakfast, you can serve some kind of porridge cooked in milk (rice, oatmeal, buckwheat). Instead of porridge, you can drop cottage cheese in combination with fruit puree. You should not feed a child at this age with semolina porridge, because it contains a lot of carbohydrates, and there are no other useful substances in it. It is recommended to introduce it into the diet, starting from the year.
  • At lunchtime, a 10-month-old baby's food may consist of soup in meat or vegetable broth. Garnish can be vegetable puree or baby vermicelli. Meatballs from dietary meat: poultry, calves, beef will give the child more strength. Twice a week, meat dishes can be replaced with fish cakes, which should be steamed.
  • Dinner may consist of one egg yolk or its halves, mashed potatoes (vegetable or fruit). You can also invite your child to try breadcrumbs.
  • Feeding a 10 month old baby at bedtime should not include heavy meals, because then the baby will sleep restlessly. IN this case instead of mother's milk, it is better to use kefir.

Allergy Risk

In some cases, when feeding a 10-month-old baby, an allergic reaction may occur. How can you tell if a child is at risk? In medical circles, this phenomenon is called atopy, which implies an innate predisposition. If one of the parents had an allergy, then the risk can be up to 37%. A more risky situation will be if both parents have suffered an allergy - in this case it is already about 60%.

Usually, in order to prevent the occurrence of an allergic reaction, it is necessary not to include cow's milk and soy-containing products in the menu of a 10-month-old baby. Also, do not give your child chocolate, strawberries, tomatoes, citrus and wheat products until the child is one year old.

The menu of a child at 10 months still includes mother's milk. However, at this age, the proportion of the product should not go beyond 25% of the total food volume. What other components are important to include in the diet of crumbs, how to build the right nutrition system - questions of interest to all mothers.

Baby nutrition at 10 months - features

Stewing, boiling, steaming are the main ways of cooking for a baby during this period. The Union of Pediatricians recommends including the following products in the menu of a 10-month-old baby.

  • Kashi. Contrary to the well-established misconception, semolina should not be added to the menu of a child at 10 months old. Semolina porridge is supersaturated with carbohydrates, it overloads the baby's body with "empty" calories. It is better to prefer oats, rice and buckwheat, rich in fiber and vitamins, alternating them. Corn dishes are also relevant. The optimal amount is up to 200 g per serving.
  • Vegetable puree. Carrots, chopped greens should be added to ordinary mashed potatoes. These products will give the dish an original taste, give a beautiful color that is attractive to the crumbs. Also, the nutrition of a child at 10 months may include mashed potatoes prepared on the basis of cabbage, zucchini, beets. Up to 120 g per day.
  • Vegetable, butter. Useful components are used in the preparation of porridge or mashed potatoes. The menu of a 10-month-old breastfed baby must contain them. To avoid allergies in the baby, you can melt the butter before using it. Do not add more than two teaspoons per day.
  • Meat. Its optimal amount in the menu of a 10-month-old baby for every day is up to 70 g. Chicken, veal, turkey, rabbit are suitable. At this age, it is no longer necessary to cook meat dishes only in mashed form. The children's body is able to cope with chopped meatballs, meatballs.
  • Juices. They can be fruit or vegetable. The latter are not liked by all children. It is easy to correct the situation by preparing a “cocktail” of vegetable and fruit juices, which will definitely please the child and provide him with important vitamins.

Menu for a child at 10 months - enrich the diet

A little gourmet needs a variety of diet. Therefore, others can be carefully added to the above products, forming the menu of a 10-month-old baby.

  • Fruit. When adding new fruits, you need to start with a minimum volume, this will prevent allergies in the baby. It is worth paying attention to plums, pears, apples - what grows in the living area. "Imported" products require caution, at this age it is better to limit yourself to bananas. From berries, the menu of a 10-month-old baby for every day may include blueberries.
  • Yolk. Half of the yolk is allowed to be added daily when preparing porridge. Chicken eggs are suitable for crumbs, quail eggs are also available.
  • Cottage cheese. Curd products are included in the list of what a child can eat at 10 months. However, the saturation of the product with calcium must be taken into account when calculating the amount. In order to avoid excessive "fatigue" of children's kidneys, it is not necessary to go beyond 50 g per day. Especially if the baby's diet contains milk, kefir.
  • A fish. Fish dishes are useful for crumbs in a minimum amount, no more than 30 g per week. In this volume, they have a positive effect on the functioning of the heart. The principle of cooking, which does not violate the diet of a child at 10 months, is similar to meat food. The best way- steamed fish cakes, you can use white bread.

Baby menu at 10 months - table

How a child's menu should look like at 10 months - the table will show clearly.

When choosing food for a 10-month-old child, the table can be taken as a basis, modifying and supplementing it, based on the characteristics of your child.

When choosing what to feed a child at 10 months old, the menu should not be provided with “adult” culinary delights. Pickled mushrooms, salted vegetables, smoked foods - all this is recommended to be excluded from the children's diet. Citrus fruits, strawberries, chocolate are contraindicated for the baby - any components that can become a source of allergies.

It is useful to diversify the diet of a child at 10 months. For example, you can periodically replace porridge with milk with similarly prepared noodles, vermicelli. It is allowed to cook cottage cheese casseroles with a small amount of dried fruits and fresh berries. Baby will love it and different kinds pudding. Doses of products unusual for a baby should be minimal, this will allow you to check the reaction of a small organism.

It is desirable to organize the nutrition of a 10-month-old child in the form of strips, pieces. The baby needs to develop the first teeth. Thorough cleaning of all components before cooking is mandatory.

It is important to remember, when deciding what a child will eat at 10 months old, development and nutrition are interconnected.

Child's menu by month (useful article)

Child's menu by month. Month 6thWhen is it time to introduce complementary foods?

Some pediatricians take a rather tough position regarding the start of the introduction of solid foods into the child's diet and believe that this can be done no earlier than 6 months (if we are talking for children who are exclusively breastfed). Indeed, the World Health Organization has formulated this principle, but clarified that the introduction of complementary foods from 6 months can lead to iron deficiency, and there is also a risk of possible growth retardation and the development of certain nutrient deficiencies.

By the way, Russia is characterized by later actual dates for the introduction of complementary foods compared to Europe: according to statistics, in our country, cereals get on the table to the baby at about 4.5-5.5 months., in Europe - in 3.5-4 months.

Where to begin? Previously, pediatricians recommended starting the introduction of complementary foods with juices. In recent years, it has been proven that the introduction of juices into the child's diet has practically no effect on the fortification of food, so you can start introducing complementary foods with vegetable puree, especially if the child has a tendency to constipation, there are signs of diathesis (redness, peeling of the skin of the cheeks, limbs, buttocks), the baby was born prematurely, grows rapidly.

It's best to start with puree from one type of vegetable: this avoids food allergies that can occur when using puree from several vegetables, and if an allergy occurs, it will be easier to recognize the food that caused it. For the “debut”, industrial-made vegetable puree is suitable - special baby food in jars - or home-made vegetable puree. Which vegetable to offer first, choose for yourself: zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, pumpkin, carrot. Potatoes contain too much starch, which causes food allergies. Therefore, despite the fact that it is easiest to make mashed potatoes at home, it is added to the child’s diet later and no more than 1/3 of the total volume of vegetable puree.

For self-preparation of vegetable puree, you need to take one type of vegetable, for example, cauliflower, rinse it thoroughly, pour a small amount of water and simmer in a closed enameled bowl for 15 minutes. Wipe the finished vegetable in hot form together with the broth until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

Remember that during the period of the introduction of complementary foods, the child must be healthy and in a good mood (it is unlikely that a naughty or unwell baby is capable of a positive perception of a new taste). To “get acquainted” with new products, select the time in the morning to be able to follow the reaction of the body: observe the condition of the skin (whether it turns red, does it appear a rash), the nature of the stool (whether it becomes more frequent, whether it appears in the stool there is an admixture of mucus, greenery, lumps, etc.).

The first acquaintance with "adult" food

So, the solemn moment has come: the vegetable puree is cooked or the jar with the finished product is opened. The kid is dressed in a beautiful and still clean apron and placed in a freshly bought high chair or on his knees. The spoon is rinsed again with boiling water and cooled. How much can you eat on the first day after such long preparations? Quite a bit - only 1-2 teaspoons of puree (5-10 g). And then offer your baby a breast or a bottle of formula (depending on the type of feeding), as in normal feeding.

That is, the menu on the first day of the introduction of mashed potatoes looks something like this:

6.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk; 10.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk; 14.00 - vegetable puree 5-10 g + mixture 180.0 or breast milk; 18.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk; 22.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk.

On the second day (if the skin condition and the nature of the stool have not changed), the baby can already be given 30-40 g of vegetable puree.

By the end of the week, the diet looks like this:

6.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk; 10.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk; 14.00 - vegetable puree 150 g + mixture 50.0 or breast milk; 18.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk; 22.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk.

All this time we offered the child only one kind of vegetables. The next week, you can not change anything in the diet, watching the assimilation of new food (stool, skin, weight gain).

For the next two weeks, you can introduce new types of vegetables into the menu, always in the same GRADUAL way. For example, the child is already eating zucchini, we introduce a pumpkin (we follow the skin and stool):

6.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk; 10.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk; 14.00 - zucchini puree 130.0 + pumpkin puree 20.0 + mixture 50.0 or breast milk; 18.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk; 22.00 - a mixture of 200.0 or breast milk.

If you are preparing a vegetable puree at home, after introducing the full volume (150 g), add 5 ml of vegetable oil (preferably olive oil obtained from the first cold pressing without the use of chemicals, in which case the label is labeled "Extra Virgin"). When using industrial products, carefully read the composition of the puree: if vegetable oil is not included in it, you can add it yourself. Puree of industrial production is better to choose without the addition of salt, spices, starch (especially potato).

If something doesn't work...

It is not always desirable for a baby to get acquainted with a new food: he can spit out mashed potatoes, turn away from a spoon or cry. There are no ready-made recipes for these cases. You can try to take a break until the next feeding or for a day or two, offer a different type of puree in a few days (for example, instead of broccoli, give the baby zucchini), add breast milk to the puree (perhaps the familiar and favorite taste of mother’s milk will “push” the baby to a new dish). The main thing is not to get angry and not show the child how unhappy you are: nothing terrible is happening.

The next type of complementary foods - porridge - can be introduced about a month after the introduction of vegetables.

Child's menu by month. Month 7th

Porridge for baby

Next up is porridge. We will postpone the traditionally beloved semolina porridge for up to a year, since it contains gluten (in some children, this protein can cause gluten enteropathy), and pay attention to gluten-free varieties: rice, buckwheat and corn (we are talking about a special children's corn porridge). Moreover, if the baby has a tendency to constipation, start with buckwheat, in the presence of exudative diathesis - with rice or corn porridge. Switching to milk porridge (with cow's milk) in the first year of a child's life is not at all necessary, and even more so, you should not cook porridge with whole milk. It is better to use mixtures intended for children 6-12 months.

How to cook porridge?

Sort and rinse the cereal well, boil the porridge - preferably in water, then you can add expressed breast milk. If the child is on artificial feeding, you can add the mixture used in the diet to the cooked porridge. Then it is better to rub the porridge through a sieve and bring it to a boil again. Another option is also possible - grind the cereal in advance in a coffee grinder (provided that the latter is well washed and there are no coffee residues in it). The ratio of cereals and water for home cooking gradually changing to first 2-3 for a week, the child receives 5% porridge (that is, 5 g of cereal per 100 ml of water), later, if the product is well tolerated, 10% (that is, 10 g of cereal per 100 ml of water).

You can also purchase ready-made porridge of industrial production. Choose those that do not contain sugar - the taste of the child is different from yours, and it is not worth accustoming the baby to sweets early.

At first, dilute the porridge exactly according to the instructions, later you can be less accurate, gradually increasing the density of the porridge with age. But even very liquid porridge it is necessary to give with a spoon, and not use a bottle for this. Porridge is introduced into the menu in much the same way as vegetable puree. But, unlike vegetables, porridge is given for breakfast: 6.00 - breast milk or formula (200 g) 10.00 - dairy-free porridge (10-15 g) plus breast milk or formula (185-190 g) 14.00 - vegetable puree (150 g) plus mixture (50 g) 18.00 - breast milk or formula (200 g) 22.00 - breast milk or formula (200 g)

At 10-hour feeding, gradually increase the volume of porridge to 150 g and reduce the volume of the mixture to 50 ml.

By the end of the week, you get the following menu:

6.00 - breast milk or formula (200 g) 10.00 - dairy-free porridge (150 g) plus breast milk or formula (50 g) 14.00 - vegetable puree (150 g) plus mixture (50 g) 18.00 - breast milk or formula (200 g) 22.00 - breast milk or formula (200 g)

Just as with the introduction of vegetable puree, you need to monitor how the baby learns a new product for himself. Pay attention to the condition of the skin, stool, weight gain. After introducing the full volume of porridge (150 g) into the diet, butter is added to the finished dish (5 g of oil per 150 g of porridge).

And don't forget: that at night, a natural child can be given a breast, and a bottle-fed baby - only water, but not a mixture.

With extreme caution

Some parents are already ages 3-4 months, they begin to introduce juices and even fruit purees into the baby's diet. It is unlikely that such an approach to nutrition can be considered correct, but if this happened and fruits are normally absorbed by the body, the menu will look like this:

6.00 - breast milk (mixture 200 g) 10.00 - dairy-free porridge 150 g plus breast milk (juice or fruit puree - 30 ml) 14.00 - vegetable puree 150 g plus breast milk (juice or fruit puree - 40 ml) 18.00 - breast milk (mixture 200 g) 22.00 - breast milk (mixture 200 g)

The amount of juice and fruit puree per day is calculated by following formula: N x 10 ml, where N is the child's age in months. Thus, a seven-month-old child can receive 70 ml of juice or 70 ml of fruit puree per day.

Another product that can be introduced into the diet of a baby at this age is egg yolk, hard-boiled. This is a valuable source of healthy fats, vitamin A, as well as iron, phosphorus and some other minerals, but at first the child is allowed to try only a few grains. In the absence of an allergic reaction, the amount can be increased to half 1 yolk 2 times a week, and by the year - up to 1 yolk every other day (or half a yolk every day). The yolk is ground with breast milk or a mixture, given with porridge or vegetable puree.

Celiac enteropathy is an intestinal disease associated with insufficient production of enzymes that break down gluten, a vegetable protein found in some cereals: rye, barley, oats, and also in wheat, from which semolina is made.

Child's menu by month. Month 8th

Meat for baby

Meat is a valuable source of animal protein and minerals (phosphorus, potassium, iron). It can be lean beef or veal, lean pork, horse meat, venison, rabbit or chicken, and tongue.

ATTENTION. Veal and chicken require caution. If a child has an intolerance to cow's milk, it is better to refuse veal, and chicken in some cases can cause an allergic reaction.

Cook at home. If you are preparing meat puree at home, remember that it must be very well chopped, because the baby is not yet able to chew properly. Boil meat without fat, cleaned of veins and films, and turn it twice through a meat grinder, then wipe through a sieve. But even in this form, at first, the baby may not like it, because in its consistency it differs from the usual mushy food. So that the child does not have a negative reaction to this necessary product, you can mix in the first days chopped meat with vegetable puree. After a week or two, try not to mix it with vegetables, but give it separately. To keep the minced meat dry, mash it with breast milk or formula, and put the puree on a plate on the side as a side dish.

At 9 months, a child can be offered meatballs, and at a year - steam cutlets. Meat broths are not used in the nutrition of children of the first year of life - they contain substances boiled out from meat and can negatively affect the children's body. It is much more useful to use vegetable broths without salt and spices for cooking meat dishes (they will also be very useful for a young mother, who often suffers from excess weight accumulated during pregnancy). Use all cooked meat dishes immediately, do not store.

Shop puree. If you prefer to buy ready-made baby food, choose mashed potatoes made from one type of meat (mono) without spices or potato starch. This is especially important if the child is prone to food allergies. It is necessary to select a meat product for it, taking into account individual tolerance. In the future, you can expand the range of meat dishes by introducing canned meat and vegetable, but you still need to pay attention to their composition and degree of grinding (the age from which this product can be used is indicated on the package). Many meat and vegetable canned foods contain carrots, in addition, it is often included in a variety of juices - these products can be given to healthy children no more often 1-2 times a week, otherwise excess beta-carotene will be deposited in the skin, and it may turn yellow.

At first, it is convenient to use jars of baby food marked "1st step". In them, the volume of the product is small, and the meat puree is subject to the greatest degree of grinding.

The contents of the jars are sterile, ready to use and, regardless of seasonality, include the necessary nutrients.

When choosing mashed potatoes for a child, one should pay attention to the indicated age recommendations, that is, the terms from which this product can be introduced into the baby's diet. Unfortunately, these instructions do not always coincide with the recommendations of domestic pediatricians and nutritionists. Therefore, before you buy and even more so give your child something new, you should first consult with a specialist.

We accustom gradually

You can start introducing meat puree into the child’s diet literally from half a teaspoon, then, the next day, if the product is well tolerated, a teaspoon (5 g). Over the next week, the volume of complementary foods is adjusted to 5-6 teaspoons (25-30 g). A full portion of meat at the 9th, 10th month - 40 g, and by 11-12 months - 50-70 g per day.

An 8 month old baby's menu might look something like this: 6:00 - breast milk or formula (200 g);

10:00 - dairy-free porridge (150 g), ½ yolk (after the introduction of meat, it is advisable to transfer the yolk to breakfast), breast milk or a mixture (50 g);

14:00 (lunch) - vegetable broth (20-30 ml), vegetable puree (150 g), meat puree (30 g), breast milk or formula (50 g). Of course, you can give not just broth, but actually vegetable soup (vegetable broth and some mashed vegetables);

18:00 - breast milk or formula (200 g);

22:00 - breast milk or formula (200 g).

If juices and fruit purees were introduced earlier (at 3-4 months), then the menu may look different:

6:00 - breast milk (mixture 200 g);

10:00 - dairy-free porridge (150 g), ½ yolk, juice (20-30 ml), fruit puree or breast milk (30-40 ml);

14:00 (lunch) - vegetable broth (20-30 ml), vegetable puree (150 g), meat puree (30 g), juice or breast milk (30-40 ml);

18:00 - breast milk or formula (160-170 g), fruit puree (30-40 ml);

22:00 - breast milk (mixture 200 g).

Recall that the volume of each feeding is approximately 200-250 ml. Thus, per day (with a five-time feeding regimen), the child receives about 1000 ml of food.

When buying canned meat for future use, pay attention to the expiration date: it should be “with a margin” of up to one and a half years. Reheat canned meats just before eating.

An open glass jar with unused puree can be stored in the refrigerator, but not more than a day.

The contents of the opened tin can should be transferred to a glass dish with a lid and also stored in the refrigerator. There is another solution: one of the household members will eat the half-eaten food.

Child's menu by month. Month 9

Cottage cheese, according to officially existing in our country guidelines, can be introduced into the diet from 5-6 months. In practice, this is early introduction cottage cheese in the menu of a healthy child is not always justified: an excess of proteins in the baby's diet in early age may "respond" in an unpleasant way to adult life- elevated blood pressure and metabolic disorders. Some pediatricians insist that until the baby is 1 year old, you need to refrain from cottage cheese. But most often the child is offered to “acquaint” with this protein product from about 8-9 months (after the introduction of porridge, vegetable and meat puree).

The introduction of kefir also requires careful attention. Research recent years showed that this should not be done until the baby is 9 months old. The fact is that its earlier use can adversely affect the child's body: the use of 400 ml of kefir per day can cause hemorrhages in the intestines with the development of anemia.

With the introduction of fermented milk products, the type of feeding of the child also matters. Recently, in the publications of domestic nutritionists, the following order of introduction of complementary foods is recommended. For a naturalist child: vegetable puree, then meat, cereals, cottage cheese, kefir, etc. For an artificial child, the order of prescribing complementary foods may correspond to traditional recommendations: vegetable puree, cereals, meat, cottage cheese, etc.

Cottage cheese Cottage cheese, like any fermented milk product, is given to the baby once a day. It is better to introduce it into the 18-hour feeding: on the first day, you can give no more than ½ teaspoon. The increase should take place as slowly as possible: first, the volume is brought to 20 g, then to 30-35 g, and only by the year the volume of cottage cheese can be increased to about 50 g per day.

Of course, it is not permissible to use cottage cheese bought in a regular store in the diet of the crumbs - only a special children's one is suitable for these purposes. However, cottage cheese can be prepared at home (it is stored in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours). Domestic nutritionists offer two cooking options: fresh (calcined) and sour (kefir).

Calcined cottage cheese is prepared using a solution of calcium chloride purchased from a pharmacy. To 3 ml of this drug add 300 ml of milk, which is pre-boiled and cooled. The resulting mixture is stirred, brought to a boil (it is desirable to use enamelware), then cooled to room temperature. The resulting curd is thrown onto a sieve covered with clean gauze, squeezed and transferred to a sterile dish.

For the preparation of sour cottage cheese, children's or one percent kefir is used. It is poured into a jar, which is placed in a pot of water. A cloth napkin is first placed at the bottom of the pan (so that the jar does not burst). 5 minutes after the water boils, the clot formed in the jar is thrown back onto clean gauze. As soon as the cottage cheese has cooled down, it can be given to the baby. To get 50 grams of cottage cheese, you need about 100 grams. kefir.

Kefir

Kefir, like cottage cheese, is usually offered for "dinner" - at 18-hour feeding. Start also with a small volume (20-30 ml) and gradually bring it up to 200 ml. Do not exceed the recommended amount. Be sure to feed from a cup.

Of course, this should not be an "adult" sour-milk drink, but its children's version ("Theme", "Agusha", etc.), the composition and quality of which best suits the needs of your baby.

It is possible to use fermented milk mixtures intended for children aged 6 to 12 months. (especially if the child does not like the taste of traditional kefir). As with other foods, do not force feed your baby. But it is better not to leave a portion unfinished (in extreme cases, if there is no one to finish the portion, the cup can be left in the refrigerator until the next day).

When fermented milk products are introduced in full, the menu may look like this:

10.00 - porridge (150 ml), egg (½ yolk), breast milk or formula (50 ml)

14.00 - vegetable broth (20-30 ml), vegetable puree (150 ml), meat puree (35-40 g), breast milk

18.00 - kefir or fermented milk mixture (170-180 ml), cottage cheese (20-30 g)

Another menu option is for a baby already familiar with juices and fruit purees:

6.00 - breast milk or formula (200 ml)

10.00 - porridge (150 ml), egg (½ yolk), fruit puree (30-40 ml), juice or breast milk (20-30 ml)

14.00 - vegetable broth (20-30 ml), vegetable puree (150 g), meat puree (35-40 g), juice or breast milk (60-70 ml)

18.00 - kefir or fermented milk mixture (150 ml), cottage cheese (20-30 g), fruit puree or breast milk (50-60 ml)

22.00 - breast milk or formula (200 ml)

After any meal, if the child wishes, you can give him breast milk.

Bread and other products

If your baby already has front teeth (there may be four or five by this age), then along with kefir you can offer him a special children's instant biscuit. Once in the mouth, such cookies dissolve easily under the action of saliva, so that the danger of choking is practically eliminated. However, the child should eat early only in your presence. Start small, literally with 3-5g of cookies, then work your way up to 10-15g.

From the moment the baby began to be introduced to a new food other than breast milk or formula, most of the time was spent gradually introducing new foods and monitoring their absorption. Therefore, there was practically no opportunity for a variety of dishes. But after you make sure that the child tolerates kefir and cottage cheese well (the tummy does not hurt, there are no rashes on the skin, normal stool), try to introduce new types of cereals, vegetable and meat purees. And do not forget: everything should happen gradually. You can enter only one per day New Product, no more, and you need to start with small doses.

Anemia is anemia, a condition characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin in the blood. Since hemoglobin carries oxygen, its deficiency leads to painful changes associated with a poor supply of oxygen to the body.

Juices and fruit purees

If over the past months the introduction of new products into the child's diet has passed without complications and painful reactions of the body, if you have not had to interrupt the process, postponing further expansion of the menu, then your baby is ready for juices and fruit purees to appear on his menu. To date, among experts there is no consensus on the timing of their introduction. But they agree on one thing: juices and fruit purees in the menu of the first year may appear much later than previously recommended (at 3-4 months, as the first product of complementary foods). After all, the main purpose of introducing new food into the children's diet is to provide the baby's body with more energy and nutrients necessary for active growth and development, while breast milk or milk formula can no longer meet the needs of a fairly large child in basic nutritional ingredients. It has been established that the nutritional value of fruit juices and purees is not great, they provide only 2% of the crumbs in vitamins, and can also irritate the intestines, causing bloating, rumbling, abdominal pain and unstable stools or allergic reactions. Such phenomena postpone the introduction of new complementary foods, and the baby remains in the "lose". Based on this, pediatricians and pediatric nutritionists first of all recommend enriching the child's diet with foods that really have nutritional value: vegetable purees, cereals, meat purees. The appearance of fruit juices and purees in the baby's menu can be considered as a pleasant addition. Therefore, one of the options for the timing of the introduction of juices can be as follows: their introduction after all the main complementary foods, at about 10 months. Of course, if the child is transferred to artificial feeding, then it is quite possible for him to introduce juices and fruit purees in more early dates(at 4-5 months; it is believed that the gastrointestinal tract of an artificial baby has time to adapt to “foreign” food by this time), which corresponds to the methodological recommendations of the Ministry of Health and social development Russia that currently exists. Usually, acquaintance begins with literally a few drops of apple juice (as the least allergenic, with good digestibility and low acidity) in one of the morning feedings. If the baby liked the juice, the stool has not changed, and there are no rashes on the skin, then the next day feel free to increase the portion of the drink to a teaspoon, and then gradually increase it to 100 ml. It is not at all necessary to give the entire portion at once: divide into two doses (for breakfast and lunch; keep an open jar in the refrigerator). When using commercial baby juices, choose clarified and no added sugar. To make juice at home, you will need a juicer and sterilized dishes (for ready-made juice), but it is also possible to use a plastic grater (pour well-washed green apples with boiling water, peel, grate, transfer to sterile gauze and squeeze the juice). Be sure to dilute the resulting juice with boiled water (at the rate of 1:1).

After getting used to apple juice, crumbs can be offered other types of juice: pear, plum, cherry, apricot, peach, blackcurrant; as well as vegetables: carrot, cabbage, beetroot. It is desirable to postpone grape juice for a later period (after a year), as it increases gas formation in the intestines, causing bloating and pain in the abdomen.

Since the child is already well acquainted with solid foods, after the introduction of a full volume of apple juice (and provided that it is well tolerated), one can also offer applesauce(starting with 5-10 g and literally in a few days bringing the daily volume to 100 g).

So the kid's menu might look like this:

10.00 - porridge (150 ml), egg (½ yolk), applesauce (30-40 ml), apple juice (20-30 ml);

14.00 - vegetable broth (20-30 ml), vegetable puree (150 g), meat puree (35-40 g), apple juice (60-70 ml);

18.00 - kefir or fermented milk mixture (150 ml), cottage cheese (20-30 g), applesauce (50-60 ml);

But the introduction of new types of juice and fruit puree, again, should be gradual (with observation of the stool and skin).

Note: some types of juices and purees have a fixing effect - they can cause constipation (blueberry, blackcurrant, pomegranate, cherry juices, apple and banana puree), so they are useful for children with unstable stools (of course, not replacing necessary treatment with possible pathology). And apple-apricot puree, prune puree, cabbage and beetroot juices can be given to children with a tendency to constipation.

Meat dishes What else will change in the diet of a ten-month-old baby? Meat puree can be alternated with meatballs, soufflé or meatballs. In stores or departments of baby food, ready-made meatballs from turkey or veal in broth are sold, produced specifically for children (without the addition of spices, preservatives, and other additives harmful to the child's body). But it is not difficult to prepare them yourself.

meat recipes

Meatballs: the meat is cleaned of films, fat, passed through a meat grinder along with wheat bread soaked in milk, again passed through a meat grinder. Add a little milk (mixture), butter and yolk, knead well, form meatballs and cook in boiling water for 10-15 minutes.

Animal or bird meat soufflé: cook meat, peeled from films and fat, pass twice through a meat grinder, add milk (mixture), flour, egg yolk and mix thoroughly, then add egg white whipped into foam. Put the mass into greased molds and bake in the oven until fully cooked for about half an hour.

Allergy Danger

If the baby had allergic reactions to any products, then it is worth waiting with the introduction of chicken meat and fish into the diet (at least until the age 1-1.5 years). Such children are recommended rabbit meat, horse meat, turkey, lean pork, beef. We remind you that foods with high allergenicity (that is, more often than others causing allergic reactions) include whole milk, fish, eggs, seafood (shrimp, mussels, squid, etc.), carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, oranges, tangerines, kiwi , pineapples, pomegranates, mango, melon, persimmon, chocolate, mushrooms, nuts, honey, wheat, rye.

Of the products with medium allergenicity (but also often causing allergic reactions), bananas and chicken meat should be noted. As a rule, such products are recommended for use in baby food after the baby is one year old (and nuts, mushrooms, seafood - after 3 years).

It must be remembered that for a healthy child of ten months, up to 100-150 ml of additional liquid is needed (it can be offered between feedings): it can be boiled water, a rosehip decoction, and an infusion of apples. per day, and in hot weather - up to 180-200 ml. Preparing a rosehip decoction is not at all difficult: wash and dry the rosehips, chop, dip in boiling water for 10 minutes, then insist 3-4 hours(preferably in a thermos). After that, strain and add some fructose. An infusion of apples is prepared in approximately the same way: rinse the apples thoroughly, cut them, pour boiling water over them and boil for 10 minutes, and then insist for a day. Fructose can be added to the finished infusion.

Child's menu by month. Month 11th

What, how and in what volume to feed the baby is one of the favorite topics of long conversations and discussions among young mothers on the playground. After all, the health of the baby directly depends on proper nutrition. Of course, this can only be judged by a number of factors. If the baby is gaining weight well and gaining height (while the weight of the child corresponds to his height - there is no excess or deficiency of body weight in relation to height), if the baby is cheerful, not irritable, sleeps calmly, his teeth erupt in time, psychomotor development corresponds age, the blood test is normal (the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin values ​​are normal, i.e., there are no signs of anemia), while you adhere to the recommended feeding volumes and a set of products, then most likely the child’s diet is correct.

Eleven months is the age when the baby, on the one hand, has already grown so much that he can receive almost all types of food (cereals, vegetables, meat, cottage cheese and other dairy products, bakery products, fruits), on the other hand, his nutrition has its own characteristics.

Recall:

- it is desirable to introduce some types of foods at an older age (at 1-3 years), for example, foods that have a high ability to cause allergies: exotic fruits, citrus fruits, nuts, whole milk, fish, etc.;

- the degree of grinding food is still different from the "adult";

- lack of spices, potato starch and other additives in food;

- Food is steamed or boiled. Offering fried or grilled meals is not worth at least 3 years.

So, the menu of a child at the age of eleven months looks something like this:

6.00 - breast milk or mixture (200 ml);

10.00 - porridge (150 ml), egg (½ yolk), fruit puree (30-40 ml), fruit juice (20-30 ml);

14.00 - vegetable broth (20-30 ml), vegetable puree (150 g), meat puree (35-40 g), fruit juice (60-70 ml);

18.00 - kefir or fermented milk mixture (150 ml), cottage cheese (20-30 g), fruit puree (50-60 ml);

22.00 - breast milk or formula (200 ml).

After each feeding (and at any time - at the request of the child), breast milk can be offered. How to diversify the baby's diet?

What can you offer him, for example, for lunch as a meat dish? This is a steam cutlet, and a soufflé from various types of meat, and meatballs. For garnish - mashed vegetables (potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, carrots, etc.). As a "snack" for the year healthy child salads are also allowed raw vegetables(for example, carrots dressed with vegetable oil or cucumber and tomato salad with vegetable oil or natural yogurt, or baby cream). Vegetables are rubbed on a grater. At the end of the dinner, offer the baby juice, jelly, fruit compote, rosehip infusion.

A gradual transition to an "adult" diet will lead to the formation of breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, plus a glass of baby kefir (children's drinking yogurt) before bed.

Breakfast- porridge, yolk, fruit puree.

Dinner- vegetable salad, soup, vegetable puree, meat puree (cutlet, meatballs, etc.), juice.

afternoon tea- kefir (children's drinking yogurt), cottage cheese (curd soufflé), juice.

Dinner- vegetable puree, meat or cereal-vegetable dish, fruit puree or juice.

Before bedtime- sour milk drink.

Some moms may get the impression that now you need to spend the whole day in the kitchen. But everything is not so scary. You can combine the preparation of children's meals at home with industrial products. For example, prepare a vegetable soup and add ready-made baby food to it - turkey or beef meatballs. By the way, you can cook such meatballs yourself from fresh meat, then form portions (for example, 8-10 pieces, depending on their size and the age of the baby). You can store such semi-finished products in the freezer and use as needed. You can mix "homemade" mashed potatoes with ready-made mashed potatoes in a jar of carrots, zucchini or pumpkin. The range of industrial cereals offered in children's stores is also very wide. You can diversify breakfasts by mixing different cereals (for example, oatmeal with milk and peach and buckwheat porridge).

And do not forget that you need to cook food only in a good mood, not to mention that the feeding process should be joyful and enjoyable for both you and the baby.

Child's menu by month. 1 year

If you are one of the mothers who have maintained lactation to this day, do not rush to wean your beloved child from the breast. Research confirms the value of even episodic breastfeeding of a child in the second year of life. So, in the morning and in the evening (or anytime and anywhere), we continue to give the baby not only food, but also a sense of peace, security and confidence in mother's love.

During this time, the baby's diet has also expanded significantly: now it is not only breast milk or formula, but also other types of products. Let's take a closer look.

So, for breakfast you can offer porridge plus half the yolk, fruit puree (fruits can be added to porridge). A one-year-old baby can be given both gluten-free (corn, buckwheat, rice) and gluten-containing cereals (wheat, oatmeal, semolina). The volume of porridge remains the same - 150 - 200 ml. Do not forget to add butter (5 g) to the porridge. From drinks - tea, fruit infusion, juice. Another breakfast option is a steam omelet, both from yolks and proteins. The daily intake of eggs is ½ pieces, but since you will give an omelette only 2-3 times a week, a single serving will increase accordingly. For scrambled eggs - a piece of bread with butter (at the age of one to one and a half years, a baby can receive up to 15 - 20 g of butter per day) or cheese and a drink (compote, jelly). Bread for a child of this age is better to choose white varieties, as it is easier to digest (volume - up to 40 g per day).

Dinner you can start with a vegetable salad - from cucumbers, tomatoes or carrots, finely chopped or grated on a coarse grater, with the addition of vegetable oil (5-7 g) or sour cream (5-10 g). Soup options: milk with vermicelli (note: pasta is not given often - about 1 time per week, in a small amount of 30-35 g), vegetable (from cauliflower, cabbage soup, borscht, etc., including puree soups). On the second - vegetable puree (after twelve months, turnips, beets, radishes, green peas, beans are added to already consumed vegetables) and a meat dish (note that the meat is cooked separately, not in soup) - mashed potatoes, soufflé or meatballs. Potatoes should not be abused, as they contain a large amount of starch that can provoke allergies, frequent stools, increased gas formation, excessive accumulation of fatty tissue). Therefore, it is better if the volume of potatoes is no more than 1/3 of the total volume of vegetable puree. After a year, the baby's diet expands due to offal (tongue, heart, liver) and chicken meat. Fatty varieties of pork, lamb, as well as indigestible duck and goose meat are not recommended for such babies. And, of course, you don’t need to offer your child sausages, sausages or sausages. 1 - 2 times a week, instead of meat, give low-fat varieties of river or sea fish (in the absence of an allergic reaction) - for example, hake or pollock. The introduction of fish into the diet should follow all the rules for introducing new complementary foods: from small amounts (5-10 g), gradually increasing the volume, observing tolerance (stool, skin condition). The daily intake of fish for a child of this age is about 25 - 30 g, which means that by offering fish a couple of times a week, you can give the child about 70 - 80 g of fish at a time. From drinks, prepare jelly, compote, fruit infusion or offer your child juice (both freshly squeezed and industrially produced, but always specialized for children).

For an afternoon snack(except for baby cottage cheese and kefir already familiar to the baby) it is possible to cook dishes from cottage cheese (cottage cheese soufflé, cottage cheese with sour cream, closer to a year and a half (happy owners of a large number of teeth) - pancakes with cottage cheese (of course, not often - once a week). To do this, give juice or fruit puree, as well as low-fat varieties of cookies (for example, every other day).Pay attention to the need to use only specialized children's kefir and cottage cheese in the baby's diet (the quality control of the manufacture and composition of baby food is higher than that of "adult" products But from ordinary purchased cottage cheese you can cook cottage cheese and soufflé (that is, it is worth offering the baby "adult" cottage cheese only after heat treatment).

Dinner a one-year-old baby may consist of a vegetable-meat or vegetable-cereal dish (options offered by domestic nutritionists - zucchini soufflé with meat puree, oatmeal with pumpkin, stewed beets with apples, vegetable stew with meat puree) plus juice or fruit puree. The range of offered fruits (as well as purees and juices) at this age is replenished by introducing the so-called exotic fruits (for example, kiwi), as well as citrus fruits (oranges), strawberries, and other species (if the child has not tried them before) - gooseberries, raspberries , blackberries, cherries and cranberries. Usually the baby is offered no more than 100 ml of juice and no more than 100 g of fruit puree per day. Before bedtime - breast milk or fermented milk drink (baby kefir).

The child's diet should not include(as much as my mother and especially grandparents would not like it) cakes, pastries, and even more so chocolates. If you really want to pamper your baby with something sweet, choose marshmallow, jam, jam (better if they are on fructose), marmalade.

And remember the basic rules: nutrition for a baby aged from one to one and a half years - four to five times a day, that is, with a break between feedings of about 4 hours. Try to follow the diet strictly enough so that the child develops a conditioned reflex (that is, by a certain time digestive system will be ready to receive and digest food). The calorie content of meals is different: the most high-calorie should be lunch, then in descending order - dinner, breakfast, afternoon tea. The daily amount of food (not counting the liquid) is 1000 - 1200 ml (such recommendations remain for about a year and a half).

Be sure to follow the rules for the introduction of new products, keep the food fresh and the cleanliness of the baby's dishes (as well as his and your hands) in order to avoid intestinal infection.

Gluten is a vegetable protein found in some cereals: rye, barley, oats, as well as in wheat, from which semolina is made, which can cause damage to small intestine cells in young children - celiac disease and allergic reactions, since babies have a deficiency of the peptidase enzyme that breaks down gluten.

Baby menu at 10 months

Every month, the menu of a growing baby becomes more diverse. However, you should not thoughtlessly introduce new foods into the diet of a 10-month-old baby; some of them should be abstained for a while. It is best to choose a tactic in which you will continue to gradually feed him something new. Naturally, there is no clear and approved menu for a 10-month-old baby, since all children are different: those who have already begun to eat all foods, some have not yet had enough teeth, and some are already chewing hard food. Therefore, when compiling a menu for her crumbs, the mother must first of all take into account his individual characteristics.

Features of the child's menu at 10 months

  • the menu of a 10-month-old baby differs little from his menu at 8 or 9 months. Basically, only the amount of food for each feeding and for the whole day changes;
  • breastfeeding should be kept at least once a day;
  • also, breastfeeding should not be stopped when the baby is sick or in the summer, during a hot period, since the child may lose his appetite during this period, and breast milk may become the only source of nutrition;
  • at 10 months, the child should be taught to feed as a recovery process: put him at the table (for children), give him a spoon in his hands.

Diet plan for 10 month old baby

  • if by 10 months the child is accustomed to the previously compiled diet, at first nothing needs to be changed;
  • cow's and goat's milk is still not recommended for babies. It is best to use formula milk (adapted), which is generally well tolerated and does not cause allergies;
  • if you want to start giving your child adult food that you cook every day, then it should be as suitable as possible for the child: low-fat fish soup, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese. Eat this food with him, as at this age the baby often repeats after adults;
  • at this age, any fruit can be given to the baby, except for grapes and citrus fruits. Bread is also not recommended to be introduced; it is better to offer the child a cracker or a cookie. Feed the child should be 5 times a day, while the main amount of food should be at lunchtime;
  • in the evening and before going to bed, the baby should not overeat, so that in the future he would not be disturbed by the intestines or stomach. If possible, do not give up nightly breastfeeding, which is very important for physical and mental health baby.

Baby nutrition at 10 months - sample menu

6:00 breastfeeding. If the baby is not breastfed, then - milk formula, the composition of which corresponds to age characteristics;

13:00 vegetable soup or puree from seasonal vegetables, boiled egg yolk (2 - quail), herbal tea;

Give the child the opportunity to touch the food with his hands, do not scold him for soiled clothes.

To cook or not to cook?

Today manufacturers baby food offer a huge variety of food for children - mashed potatoes (from fruits and vegetables), canned meat, dry cereals, which are diluted with water or milk, juices, cookies and more. Many mothers, in view of the proposed range, the question arises - what kind of food for the baby is better - cooked with your own hands or purchased in a store, pharmacy?

If you grow vegetables and fruits in your garden, without harmful chemical additives, fertilizers and nitrates, then, of course, the food prepared from them will be healthier for the baby and much tastier.

If you buy vegetables and fruits on the market and cannot be completely sure of their quality, then it is better to give preference to ready-made products, at least up to a year. The use of special ready-made purees and juices (purchased) can be relevant even when you introduce a new product into the baby's diet - at first it will take quite a bit.

  • When preparing food for the baby, be guided by your taste - the food should be a little undersalted.
  • Cooked food should be fresh, no need to cook a lot - when heated, not only nutrients are lost, but the taste of the food deteriorates.
  • When using dry cereals, strictly follow the recommendations for their preparation indicated on the package.
  • In between feedings, a 10-month-old child can be given some water, not very sweet tea or compote.
  • Taste the food before giving it to the baby - it should not be very hot so that the child does not get burned and does not become afraid of the very process of eating.
  • If the child does not want to eat, it is not necessary to force him, so as not to form a negative attitude towards food.
This is interesting:If you liked the article then leave your comments below:

A ten-month-old baby still needs mother's milk. However, it is not enough to meet the growing needs of the baby in nutrients. His diet by this age should be varied. Although the list of products practically does not change, new dishes appear on the crumbs menu. Let's talk about this in more detail.

How to quench your baby's thirst?

Remember that the child's body must receive enough water. Even if you give him enough to drink throughout the day, this will not replace the usual plain water. Best of all - bottled, which is intended for children. In no case do not offer your baby carbonated water and drinks from concentrates, they are harmful even for adults, and they act on the child's body like a bomb explosion.

In addition to water, the baby can be given compotes, fruit juices, tea is also useful for him. Do not limit yourself to black tea, children perfectly perceive drinks with the addition of medicinal herbs - fennel or chamomile. Compotes with the addition of wild rose are very useful - you just need to give them enough time to brew. If the baby is not accustomed to sugar since childhood, he will be happy to drink drinks without it.

List of "allowed" products

At this age, kids already eat many cereals: buckwheat and oatmeal, wheat or cornmeal, rice. They can be boiled in diluted milk or water - in any case, they will be tastier if you add a tiny piece of butter to the dish, of course, natural.

Many children have already become accustomed to most popular vegetables. They like the sweet taste of pumpkin, hearty potatoes, tender broccoli or carrots with beets. Alternate mashed potatoes from them throughout the week, and then the baby will enjoy the variety of his menu every time.

The list of meat dishes has also expanded. In addition to mashed potatoes, meatballs, meatballs, puddings are now in the diet. It is permissible to cook from veal, turkey or chicken fillet, rabbit. It is better to refrain from pork, as a last resort, choose lean meat. Occasionally homemade liver pâté can be given. Twice a week - fish dishes.

Cottage cheese is recommended to be offered regularly, 1 time in 2-3 days, alternating it with yoghurts. Children really like tender cottage cheese with the addition of fruit. In the summer, it is easy to cook it yourself. Periodically prepare fruit purees for crumbs and combined ones - with the addition of vegetables, yogurt or cookies.

Baby cookies are a favorite treat for kids. They love to procrastinate him with their tiny hands, enjoying the opportunity to massage their gums. Don't deprive your kids of this fun. Bread can only be white.

What is banned?

The baby is not yet ready to eat fried foods, so you will have to limit yourself to boiled, stewed and steamed foods. Banned and other categories:

  • smoked meats;
  • food with hot spices;
  • fruits and vegetables of poor quality - with rotten, unripe, the skin must be removed from fruits and some vegetables (for example, tomatoes) - a piece of it on the gastric mucosa can cause vomiting;
  • wholemeal bread;
  • all types of salads that contain raw vegetables;
  • sweets - chocolate, confectionery with creams.

Do not experiment with a child, even if your mom friends boast that their children eat from an adult table. Quite often, neglecting the advice on feeding young children turns into serious digestive problems.

Should a 10-month-old baby be weaned?

Often, women who breastfeed their baby for 10 months begin to experience lactation difficulties. You can take measures to stimulate it, or gradually begin to wean the baby from the breast. Of course, if everything is in order with you, the answer is unambiguous - continue to feed your baby with mother's milk.

To make weaning as painless as possible, try to make this process gradual. Decrease the feeding time each time, limit breastfeeding to 1-2 times. What do pediatricians say about this? They advise up to a year to keep at least one feeding with mother's milk.

Menu extension

The diet of the baby changes slightly: portions increase (individually, depending on the baby's appetite and its physiological characteristics). The menu is expanding with the following dishes.

  • puddings. Kids love them because of their soft texture. For their preparation, you can take cottage cheese, fruits and berries. Useful for kids and meat or fish puddings.
  • Kissel- one of the most favorite treats for 10-month-old babies. Of course, in no case do not buy semi-finished products of industrial production, cook jelly from fresh fruits yourself.
  • Meatballs. As you remember, we suggested giving them as early as 9 months - quite a bit. A 10-month-old baby eats meatballs with pleasure - to improve the taste, you can add a little greens and onions to the minced meat (if the child treats him calmly).
  • Cottage cheese casserole- Another new dish in the diet of crumbs. By adding different fruits to it, you can surprise your baby with a new taste every time. So that the cottage cheese is not too watery, you need to add a little semolina to the mass. Grind fruits on a fine grater.
  • Vermicelli. You can give the baby vermicelli in the usual boiled form, or in the form of milk soup.

Pay special attention to the quality of products for preparing children's meals. They must be fresh and natural.

Approximate diet

The food schedule remains the same. Sometimes, in extreme cases, food intake can be slightly shifted, but not more than half an hour:

  • 07:00–07:30 - breakfast, porridge with filler or water, flavored with butter is suitable. Oat flakes are very useful, they are both satisfying and have a good effect on bowel function. You should not give the same porridge two days in a row, optimally - no more than 2-3 times a week.
  • 11:30-12:00 - lunch. Now the baby perceives the soup very well, especially with meatballs or chopped meat. In summer, add fresh herbs to the first dishes, in winter - dried. 1-2 times a week you can offer borscht, periodically prepare mashed soups. Mushroom dishes for the baby is still early.
  • 16:00–16:30 - afternoon tea. Mostly light dishes, cottage cheese, you can also make a casserole or pudding from it. Fruit purees should be offered 2-4 times a week, sometimes yogurt with fresh berries.
  • 19:00–19:30 - dinner. It's time to taste vegetable puree or porridge on the water. Complement these dishes with meat or offal pate.

Round off the day with a serving of breast milk or formula.

By 10 months, babies are already developing their own taste in food, so parents try to compose children's menu based on their preferences. However, when thinking about how to feed a child at 10 months old, one should not forget about the benefits for the child's body, a rational approach to portion sizes and time intervals between meals.

When compiling the menu of a 10-month-old baby, it is important to select those ingredients that the baby can easily digest and will not burp (see:). First of all, you should pay attention to such dishes:

  1. vegetable purees. Every day it is allowed to give them to the baby about 100-130 g. Mixtures from various cabbages, zucchini, spinach, carrots, beets, pumpkins, and potatoes are best suited. The same vegetables from 10 months are recommended to be included in salads for crumbs. The ingredients must be boiled and rubbed very carefully;
  2. porridge. At 10 months, healthy gluten-free cereals provide good nutrition. You can make porridge from rice, oats, buckwheat and corn. And here semolina, contrary to popular belief, does not carry special nutritional value. Therefore, if your child suffers from excess weight at an early age, semolina should be excluded from the diet due to the abundance of carbohydrates in cereal;
  3. butter. It must be added to vegetable purees or cereals, 1-2 tsp each. for the whole day. If the child is prone to allergies, the butter must first be properly melted and the resulting film removed, and only then added to the dish;
  4. meat. For a breastfed or bottle-fed child, meat products should be present in the daily menu in the amount of 70-75 g. The baby will be happy to eat chicken, turkey, horse meat, rabbit. Add lean pork and veal to your weekly diet once. It is also worth paying attention to the offal of those animals that were grown in households. You can feed your child soufflé, cutlets, meatballs from these products;
  5. a fish. For babies, it is a source of important polyunsaturated acids. Buy pollock, cod, hake, pike perch. They make delicious steamed meatballs, cutlets and dumplings. But in the weekly diet of a child at 10 months old, there should be no more than 30 g of fish, since allergies may develop;
  6. cottage cheese. Many parents are interested in how much curd mass a child is allowed to eat. At 10 months, this product is just beginning to be introduced into the diet of crumbs, so it is correct to give it 50 g every day. Cottage cheese cannot be allowed in large quantities, as it seriously affects the kidneys due to the abundance of calcium in its composition. This warning is especially true for those mothers who introduced kefir and whole milk to the child on the menu. Cottage cheese can be given in grated form, cook sauces and casseroles with it. In general, it does not matter which cottage cheese to choose, if it is natural. Today there is even a dietary option, however, a product of 9% and 11% fat content is considered optimal;
  7. fruit. At ten months old, it is already difficult for a baby to surprise them with new varieties, especially since he must drink juices daily in a volume of 30-60 ml. You can also puree 40-60g per serving. The best fruits for this dish: apples, pears, plums, bananas.
