When the baby is one year old, he should begin to get used to the special - adult food. The child already has the first 6-10 teeth. The baby is actively learning to chew. More digestive enzymes are produced in his body, which helps him digest "adult" food. But the size of the stomach of a one-year-old baby is still very small, and therefore the growing crumb should eat at least four times a day. A child’s nutrition after a year should be rich in vitamins and many other useful substances necessary for children's development.
Many pediatricians are confident that babies should be breastfed until the age of 20-24 months. It is advisable for a one-year-old baby to give breast milk daily in the early morning and late evening. Breast milk is saturated with nutrients like no other product.

It is useful to cook cottage cheese casseroles for him, pouring them with diluted low-fat sour cream. The amount of cottage cheese eaten per day should reach 70 grams.
The main dish in the diet of the peanut is porridge. Offer your baby oat, rice, millet, buckwheat and corn porridge. A child’s nutrition after a year is based on this simple dish.
Do not pamper your baby with pasta. They do not contain many useful substances, so let your child appreciate this delicious dish a little later.
The one-year-old baby is already ready for his first acquaintance with bread. Up to one and a half years it is not recommended to give the child rye bread. Feed your baby plain white wheat. Do not give a small child more than 100 grams per day of this product.
