After the age of 1 year, children’s molar teeth begin to erupt and their chewing ability is improved, which is an important time to exercise children’s ability to eat on their own. 16-month-old children should be fed with formula milk twice a day. The standard amount of milk is about 400-600ml per day.
While adhering to formula feeding, it is important to add complementary foods. Timely addition of complementary foods during the child’s taste sensitivity period can avoid the occurrence of feeding difficulties, and can also supplement the additional needs of the child’s growth and development.
At 16 months of age, children are ready to eat larger pieces of food, such as pieces of meat, fruits, tofu, and large pieces of vegetables. Complementary feeding can help exercise children’s chewing and digestive skills, encourage children to eat on their own and develop good eating habits.
