1 years old ~ 3 years old children are in a period of rapid growth and development, the demand for a variety of nutrients is relatively high, while young children’s body physiological functions are also gradually developing, but the defense performance of the external adverse stimuli is still poor, so for young children’s dietary arrangements, can not be completely the same as the adults, need special care. I. Continue to give breastfeeding or other dairy products, and gradually transition to a variety of foods Can continue to give breastfeeding until 2 years old (24 months of age), or give no less than the equivalent of 350mL of liquid milk daily to young children’s formula, but should not be fed directly to the ordinary liquid milk, adult powdered milk, or soy protein powder and so on. It is recommended that appropriate infant formula be preferred, or foods fortified with multiple emblematic nutrients such as iron and vitamin A be given. For those who cannot use infant formula due to limited conditions, liquid milk can be diluted or prepared with starch or sucrose-based foods. Feed it to your toddler. If toddlers are unable to consume an appropriate amount of dairy products, they need to be supplemented with high quality protein and calcium through other means. About 100g of eggs (about 2 eggs) can be substituted by appropriate processing, such as steamed egg custard. When the child reaches 2 years of age, breastfeeding can be gradually stopped, but should continue to provide daily infant formula or other dairy products. At the same time, according to the toddler’s dental development, should be increased at the right time, fine, soft, crumbled, rotten meals, the variety continues to enrich the number. Gradually transition to food variety. 1, formula food more in line with the nutritional needs of young children Milk is rich in high-quality protein, calcium, B vitamins and other minerals, is an excellent source of high-quality protein and natural calcium. Breast milk is the only source of nutrition in early infancy, and after one year of age, the main source of nutrients for young children basically no longer rely on breast milk supply, therefore, infant formula is to help infants and young children to successfully realize the transition from breast milk to ordinary diets of the ideal food is to ensure that infants and young children during the transition of the diet to obtain a good nutritional measures. 1 year old ~ 3 years old children should be fed no less than quite 350ml of liquid milk every day for young children Formula. The protein content of ordinary liquid milk is three times that of breast milk, and the mineral content is also relatively high. Since the kidney function of young children is still not well developed, feeding ordinary liquid milk directly will cause a greater burden on the kidneys and intestines of young children, therefore, it is not advisable to feed ordinary liquid milk directly. It is advisable to choose appropriate infant formula, 50g ~ 80g per day. 2, how to choose other dairy or substitutes For those who can not use infant formula due to limited conditions, liquid milk can be diluted, or with starch, sucrose food modification and then drink. For those who cannot consume dairy products, about 100g of eggs (about 2 eggs) can be substituted by appropriate processing, such as steamed egg custard, etc., or replaced by soy-based milk substitutes after appropriate dosing. If you do not drink infant formula, calcium intake is difficult to reach the recommended intake, you can consider other ways to supplement. Second, choose nutritious, easy to digest food The choice of food for young children should be based on the principle of comprehensive and rich nutrition, easy to digest, should be fully considered to meet the energy needs, increase the intake of high-quality protein to ensure that young children’s growth and development needs; to increase the supply of iron, to avoid the occurrence of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia. Fish fat is conducive to the development of the child’s nervous system, can be appropriate to use more fish and shrimp food, especially sea fish. For l years old ~ 3 years old children, should be used every month pig liver 75g (one and a half), or chicken liver 50g (one or two), or sheep liver 25g (half a two), made into a liver puree, eaten in batches, in order to increase vitamin A intake. It is not advisable to give young children direct consumption of hard foods, hard-shelled fruits (e.g. peanuts) that can be easily inhaled into the airways by mistake, preserved foods and fried foods. 1, how to arrange l years old ~ 2 years old children in addition to dairy meals For 1 year old ~ 2 years old children, it is recommended that the daily dietary arrangements: optional eggs, fish and shrimp, lean meat and poultry 100g, rice and flour and other cereals and grains 100g ~ 125g, with 20g of vegetable oil to cook the above food. Choose 150g of fresh green, red and yellow vegetables and fruits, and feed them to children in the form of fruit and vegetable puree, fruit and vegetable juice or fruit and vegetable powder. 2, how to arrange 2-year-old ~ 3-year-old children in addition to dairy meals For 2-year-old ~ 3-year-old children, it is recommended that the daily dietary arrangements: choose 100g of eggs, fish and shrimp, lean meat and poultry, etc., and 125g to 150g of cereals such as rice and flour, and cook the above foods with 20g to 25g of vegetable oil. Choose 150g～200g of fresh green, red and yellow vegetables and fruits. Adopt suitable cooking methods and process meals separately. Young children’s meals should be processed and cooked separately, and suitable cooking methods and processing methods should be used. Food should be chopped and cooked, easy for young children to chew, swallow and digest, pay special attention to completely remove the skin, bones, thorns, nuclei, etc.; soybeans, peanuts and other hard fruit foods, should be ground, made into a slurry of puree and other state of eating; cooking methods, it is appropriate to steam, boil, stew, simmering and other cooking methods, should not be used to deep-frying, baking, branding and other methods. Taste to light for good, should not be too salty. More should not eat spicy stimulating food, as little as possible or do not use seasonings containing monosodium glutamate (MSG) or chicken essence, coloring, saccharin. Pay attention to the alternation of varieties to help children maintain an interest in eating. Fourth, in a good environment, regular meals, pay attention to the cultivation of good eating habits Young children’s diet should be 5 meals a day to 6 meals, that is, three main meals a day, between the two main meals in the morning and afternoon to arrange for milk, fruit and other thin and soft pasta as the content of the meal, dinner can also be added to the meal or snacks, but before going to bed should be avoided sweets, in order to prevent dental caries. To pay attention to the cultivation of young children’s eating habits, dietary security to gradually achieve regularity, moderation, regular meals, do not arbitrarily change the young children’s meal times and meals: encourage and arrange for older children to eat with the whole family, in order to facilitate the young children to better accept the family meal later; cultivate the child to focus on eating, pause for other activities; parents should set an example, with good eating habits to influence the young children, so that the young children to avoid biased eating, picky eating habits. Parents should set a good example by influencing their children with good eating habits, so that they can avoid the bad habits of partiality and picky eating. To create a good eating environment, eating place should be quiet and pleasant. Tables, chairs and tableware can be appropriately child-oriented, and children should be encouraged, guided and educated to use spoons and chopsticks to eat on their own. Encourage children to do more outdoor games and activities, and arrange snacks reasonably to avoid excessive weight loss and obesity. Since the vitamin D content in milk and ordinary food is very limited, it is difficult for children to satisfy their vitamin D needs by relying on ordinary diets alone. Appropriate sunlight exposure can promote the formation of vitamin D in children’s skin, which is important for children’s calcium absorption and bone development. Arranging outdoor games and activities for children for 1 hour to 2 hours a day not only promotes the formation of vitamin D in the skin and calcium absorption through sunlight exposure, but also realizes the cultivation of children’s physical and intellectual ability and maintenance of energy balance through physical activities. Correct choice of snack varieties, rational arrangement of snack timing, so that it can not only increase the children’s interest in food and drink, and is conducive to energy supplementation, but also to avoid affecting the main meal appetite and the amount of food. Nutrient-rich foods such as fruits and dairy products should be the main focus, and the quantity and timing of snacks should be given in such a way that they do not affect children’s appetite for the main meal. The consumption of pure energy snacks, such as candies, sweet drinks and other sugary foods, should be controlled. Encouraging children to participate in moderate activities and games is conducive to maintaining children’s energy balance, enabling them to maintain reasonable weight gain and avoiding thinness, overweight and obesity. At the age of 1 year, the stomach capacity of young children is only about 300mL, the amount of food eaten at one time is limited, and due to the limitations of young children’s ability to chew, the food consumed is mostly sparse and soft meals, so it is necessary to give appropriate snacks between the two main meals in order to obtain adequate nutrition. Can be arranged between the two main meals to milk, fruit and other thin and soft pasta-based snacks, in addition to fruit after dinner gradually to do no longer eat, especially before going to bed to avoid sweets, in order to prevent dental caries. Sixth, drink enough water every day, drink less sugar-containing drinks Water is an essential nutrient, is the body structure, metabolism and function of the necessary conditions. Children’s metabolism is relatively higher than adults, the amount of energy and various nutrients need is relatively more, the need for water is also higher. 1 year old ~ 3 years old toddlers daily per kilogram of body weight of about 125mL of water, the total daily water demand is about 1250mL ~ 2000mL. young children need water in addition to water from the metabolism of the nutrients in the body generated by the water and dietary food contained in the water (especially milk, soup) In addition to water from metabolism of nutrients and water contained in dietary foods (especially milk and soup), about half of the water needs to be met by direct drinking, about 600mL to 1000mL. the best drink for young children is plain water. Currently on the market many sugary drinks and carbonated beverages containing glucose, carbonic acid, phosphoric acid and other substances, excessive consumption of these drinks, not only will affect the child’s appetite, so that children are prone to dental caries, but also cause excessive energy intake, which can lead to obesity or malnutrition and other problems, is not conducive to the child’s growth and development, it should be strictly controlled intake. Young children are active, sweating more, in addition to the kidney function is not very perfect, easy to dehydration; young children lack of water can make the appetite is significantly inhibited, therefore, special attention should be paid to let the young children a day uniformly adequate amount of water. Young children are advised to drink plain water, etc., and should not drink sugary beverages. When the weather is hot, you can increase the frequency of drinking cooled boiled water to replenish water. Regular monitoring of growth and development Growth and development indicators, such as length and weight, reflect the nutritional status of young children. Parents can take regular measurements of young children at home, and young children between the ages of 1 and 3 should be measured once every 2 to 3 months. Ensure dietary hygiene, strict sterilization of tableware Choose clean and non-perishable food materials, do not eat overnight meals and unclean and perishable food, and when choosing semi-finished products or cooked food, it should be thoroughly heated before consumption. Tableware for young children should be thoroughly cleaned and heat sterilized. Caregivers should pay attention to personal hygiene. Cultivate good hygiene habits such as washing hands before and after meals to reduce the chance of infection by intestinal bacteria, viruses and parasites. Because the gastrointestinal tract of young children is extremely weak in resisting infections, it is necessary to place extra emphasis on dietary hygiene in young children’s meals to reduce the chances of intestinal bacterial and viral infections and parasitic infections. It is important to avoid the habit of oral feeding of young children by caregivers.
