How to cook unusual dishes for children up to a year

Newborn babies are just getting acquainted with new adult products, so all dishes for children should be prepared according to special recipes - without spices, pickles and smoked additives. By the age of one year, the kids' menu is already quite diverse, which allows you to create original and tasty treats.

The very first complementary foods for newborns will be vegetable or, so the proposed recipes can be used already with 4-5 months tiny life.

  • Pumpkin with apple is a great option for breakfast, as such puree contains a large amount of vitamins. Pumpkin and apples should be thoroughly washed and the peel and seeds removed from the fruit. Fruit cut into small pieces is boiled in a small amount of water, you can cook the fruits in microwave oven, it will save a lot of your time. When the pieces become soft and fragrant, they need to be crushed to a mushy state with a mixer or with a regular fork, it is allowed to slightly dilute the puree with sugar syrup, but then it will need to be boiled for several minutes.
  • Cauliflower will become your baby's favorite dish if cooked properly. It is necessary to disassemble the head of cabbage into inflorescences, thoroughly wash the cabbage and clean it from hard parts. Prepared pieces to stew on not big fire with the addition of a couple of tablespoons of boiled water. After boiling the fruit, rub the cabbage through a sieve or use a blender. In puree, you can add ½ of a hard-boiled egg yolk and a few drops of good vegetable oil.
  • Potatoes with greens - involves the use of several components for cooking. A couple of potatoes should be boiled in lightly salted water, then cool and beat with 2 tablespoons of milk. If you use a blender for mixing, then greens (dill, parsley) can be added simply during the grinding process, and when using a pusher, green additives should be finely chopped with a knife.
  • Assorted puree is prepared from the collection of various vegetables: potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, beets, cabbage are suitable. All ingredients should be taken in equal proportions, but it is better to cook them separately to prevent mixing of flavors. Boil vegetables in plenty of water, then cool slightly and peel. Now you need to mix everything with a blender. If the puree is too dense, it is permissible to add a little boiled milk. To avoid adding salt to the puree, boil the vegetables in salted water.

These recipes for children under one year old are also popular with older kids, they also go with a bang with adults, because familiar products, served in an unusual form, always seem tastier.



From 7-8 months, meat is introduced into the diet of babies, so from that moment on, meat purees, pates and cutlets should be present in the menu of newborns every day.

  • Delicious and tender meat puree is made from chicken or rabbit. We wash the fresh meat well under running water, cut it into small pieces and put it in a saucepan, fill it with water so that it covers it completely, and set to cook over high heat. After boiling, reduce the power of the stove and continue to simmer until cooked under a closed lid. When the water has almost boiled away, the meat should be taken out and passed through a meat grinder, then rubbed through a sieve. You should get a dryish mass, so it should be diluted with the meat broth in which the meat was cooked, in addition, you can add a piece of butter.
  • Chicken souffle is made from fresh minced chicken without any additives, mixed with raw chicken yolk. The resulting mass should be placed on a greased pan and baked in the oven until a light crust is obtained. Such a dish for children in the microwave turns out well, the cooking time depends on the chosen power of the oven.
  • Liver puree will be a good addition to meat and fish dishes, it goes well with any puree, and can also be used as a pate. Wash the beef or chicken liver thoroughly, remove the streaks of bile and stew a little in a saucepan under a closed lid (so that the liver does not burn, it is recommended to add water to the vessel). Grind the cooled pieces with a mixer, then dilute with warm milk and boil for about 5 minutes. Butter will help emphasize the delicate taste of milk liver.
  • Fish cutlets will appeal even to picky crumbs. Babies can be offered low-fat varieties of fish, for example, cod, hake, pollock (it is better to choose a fish without small bones, it is easier to work with). The fish should be cleaned of skin and bones, then rinsed and scrolled through a meat grinder along with the crumb white bread, dilute with egg yolk and salt a little. The resulting minced meat should be thoroughly mixed and formed into small balls. Cutlets are placed in a deep bowl, poured with water or milk and stewed over low heat for 20-25 minutes, in a double boiler for 10-15 minutes.

In the process of cooking, you can slightly change the proposed recipes for children and add other components to them. For example, a delicious souffle will turn out not only from chicken, you can take lean pork or rabbit, however, it will take a little longer to cook such a dish, etc.



Along with mashed potatoes, babies also need liquid food, so from the very beginning of complementary foods, crumbs should prepare a variety of soups.

  • Vegetable soup is suitable for the youngest children, as it can be prepared with both meat and vegetable broth. Boil finely chopped carrots in salted water for about 10 minutes. At this time, prepare the rest of the ingredients - peel and cut into small cubes potatoes, cabbage, peel green peas. After boiling water, we throw prepared ingredients there and cook until tender. The finished soup can be decorated with herbs, or you can make soup puree by grinding the cooked mass with a blender.
  • Meat soup can be served plain or mashed, it is equally tasty in both versions. The meat is cooked together with onions, after which it cools a little and is torn into strands. Chopped vegetables are added to the finished broth - potatoes, carrots, you can add a little washed cereal - wheat, rice or buckwheat. At the end, chopped boiled meat and greens are added.
  • Children's borscht is suitable for babies older than 9 months, it is cooked in meat broth. To begin with, the washed meat is boiled in salt water until soft, beets, carrots and potatoes should be prepared separately. Cut vegetables into strips, stew beets with carrots in a deep frying pan with water, then grind through a sieve. Add chopped potatoes to the meat broth and cook for about 15 minutes, divide the cooked meat into strips, add to the potatoes. At the end of cooking, throw the grated stewed vegetables into the saucepan and boil a little more. If desired, you can decorate the borscht with finely chopped greens.

Liquid meals for children must be present in the diet, and the faster the baby weans from grated food, the easier it will be to adapt to ordinary solid foods, and the baby will more easily endure the process of teething.
