Is your precious son or daughter turning one year old?
First of all, we would like to congratulate you! Your baby can already crawl, walk, pronounce simple words, etc. And secondly, we want to focus your attention, dear parents, on the fact that your baby needs complete and balanced diet to restore expended energy, as well as for normal growth and development.
By the age of one year, children are fed not only breast milk, but also some products of plant and animal origin. For example, fruits, boiled vegetables, fish, poultry and eggs.
After 1 year, you will have to diversify your child’s diet a lot by preparing delicious and healthy baby food every day. For proper metabolism, proper functioning of the digestive system, proper development nervous and of cardio-vascular system The baby's body needs vitamins, proteins, fats, hydrocarbons, minerals, etc., which are found in many foods of animal or plant origin.
Considering that eating is one of the most unpleasant moments for many children, parents should make sure that the prepared dishes are not only healthy, but also tasty and beautiful. To do this, you need to make the menu varied and serve the dish in a playful way.
What dishes can and should be prepared for 1-year-old children?
To answer this question, I presented to your attention recipes simple dishes homemade which can be prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
So, the diet of a one-year-old kinder should consist of a varied 4-5 meals a day. Moreover, it is recommended to give dairy products (breast milk, cow's milk, infant formula) no more than 500 ml per day.
Breakfast
- milk porridge or vermicelli milk soup
- cottage cheese, cheesecakes or cottage cheese casserole
- an omelet (usually by 1.5 years) or a hard-boiled egg.
Drinks: jelly, tea without sugar, dried fruit compote or infusion of rose hips and lentils.
By the way, you shouldn’t give all of the above for one breakfast. It is enough to feed the baby milk porridge (150-200 ml) with the addition of 5g butter and half a boiled egg. This will be quite enough for the little one to be full and not pass it on. Be sure to give him a cup of drink to quench his thirst.
What kind of porridge can a baby who is 1 year old eat?
I recommend giving multigrain, rye and barley porridge to baby food. By the age of one and a half years, you can feed him porridges: millet, wheat, oatmeal, buckwheat and rice. All of them are valued for their unsurpassed healing and nutritional properties.
So that mommy doesn’t suffer for a long time over the cooking process, I’ll share my experience instant cooking tasty and healthy porridge. Just soak the cereal in water until it swells (becomes soft), and then boil it a little and that's it! The porridge is ready!
Buckwheat
Pour clean, sorted buckwheat porridge (1 cup) into a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Leave for several hours to allow the cereal to absorb water. Then put on the fire and simmer for a couple of minutes until fully cooked. Don't forget to add a little salt. Pour the finished buckwheat porridge with milk or season with a small piece of butter.
If you decide to give your child a cottage cheese dish for the first breakfast, then you should know that he is supposed to eat no more than 70 grams of cottage cheese per day. We cook cottage cheese casserole and cheesecakes in the oven or steam! Fried food is contraindicated for children.
And finally: for the first breakfast - an omelette (steamed) can be served with a piece white bread(no more than 40 g/day) with butter or cheese. By the way, a baby 1-1.5 years old can eat 15-20 grams of butter per day. Bread is preferably white, as it is easier for the child’s delicate stomach.
The second breakfast can consist of fruit puree, fruit or carrot juice, dried fruit compote, apples or lentil tincture. This breakfast will quench your thirst and stimulate production. gastric juice before lunch.
Dinner
The baby's lunch should be more eventful and consist of a first course, a second course and a drink.
For the first course, I suggest preparing soup, borscht, cabbage soup or vegetable salad.
If you are interested in vegetable salad, I can offer several types of it. For example: from grated fresh cucumbers, tomato or carrots. Or a salad of boiled vegetables: potatoes, carrots, cabbage, pumpkin, cabbage, stewed zucchini and tomatoes. I recommend adding egg yolk to salads – it’s healthy and tasty!
You can dress salads with vegetable oil or sour cream, but in no case with mayonnaise or any sauces.
If you decide to give your little one soup for lunch, then it also comes in several types:
- milk soup with pasta. By the way, it is recommended to give this soup to a one-year-old child only once a week.
- vegetable soup is borscht, ukha, cabbage soup, cream soup and cauliflower soup. Such soups, as a rule, are cooked in fish or meat broth with the following calculation: for one serving of soup – 0.3÷0.4 ml of broth.
The main course is served with a side dish and meat or fish.
For small children who have just turned one year old, puree of many vegetables and legumes is served as a side dish. Simply boil and grind through a sieve any of the following components: zucchini, pumpkin, onions, white or cauliflower cabbage, beets, turnips, beans, radishes, radishes, green pea. You can add greens: lettuce, dill, parsley, sorrel, nettle, spinach. By the way, don’t forget to salt the puree and add a large number of butter or sunflower oil.
It is advisable to give mashed potatoes to your child not often, because this vegetable contains a large amount of starch.
Fish or meat is served as a side dish. By the age of one year, the toddler can be given: beef, lean pork, lamb, chicken, offal and rabbit meat. The meat is cooked separately and served in the form of meatballs, meat puree or soufflé.
It is advisable to arrange vegetarian, meat and fish days so that the baby’s diet is varied and healthy. A couple of times a week, replace the meat dish with fish. According to experts: a child should eat about 80 grams of fish per week. It is better to give him non-fatty varieties of sea fish: pollock, hake, cod, greenling.
What fish dishes can be offered for children 1 year old? This is boiled fish fillet with bones carefully removed, baked fish (without bones, of course), fish cutlets or soufflé.
Don't forget about this useful product like a liver! Usually children make pate from it.
And finally, a drink. This can be juice (from apples, carrots), compote/jelly (from dried fruits or fresh berries), lentil or rose hip tea.
Afternoon snack
An afternoon snack is a small snack. It may consist of one or more products: cookies, pudding, dessert, kefir, milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, fruit (not causing allergies). I recommend preparing a fruit salad from fresh apples, bananas and pears, grated on a fine grater, as well as with the addition of cherries, raspberries, cranberries, black or red currants, lingonberries and sea buckthorn. After the baby turns 1.5 years old, he can be given pancakes with cottage cheese or homemade pancakes for an afternoon snack.
To quench your thirst, offer your little one fruit tea or juice.
Dinner
And finally, what should you feed your baby for dinner? I can offer several options:
- vegetables + cereals;
- vegetables + meat;
- omelet (if you didn’t give it for breakfast).
It could be oatmeal with the addition of pumpkin, vegetable stew with meat puree, stewed beets combined with apples or zucchini soufflé with meat puree.
For dessert, offer your child fruit or make fruit puree, as well as fermented milk drinks and juices.
If your child has not yet been weaned from breastfeeding, then put him to your breast at night. By the way, to the one-year-old toddler breastfeeding can be limited to once or twice a day.
Having listed the basic diet, I do not exclude the possibility that the child will not ask you for sweets, cookies, fruits or berries all day. There is nothing wrong with this if the norm is within the limits of reason. It should be noted that children of this age should not be given chocolates, candies, cakes, pastries and other sweets with which the shelves of confectionery and food stores are overflowing. retail outlets. If you want to pamper your child with sweets, then offer him marmalade, jam, homemade jam. Many children enjoy eating honey and homemade condensed milk.
To summarize, I would like to note that a caring mother should monitor the amount of food her child eats. A child (1 ÷ 1.5 years old) should eat (excluding drinks) approximately 1-1.2 liters of food per day, and older ones: 1.4 ÷ 1.5 liters of food. I hope our recommendations and recipes for a 1-year-old child will be useful to you.
By the age of one and a half years, the child is already ready for a more varied diet. He already has enough teeth, so the food already consists mainly of pieces and does not need to be ground. The amount of enzymes in the stomach and intestines can already significantly expand the range of foods and dishes that the child’s body can safely digest and assimilate. In this article we have compiled a variety of different and useful menu for every day with recipes.
Child's menu after a year - what changes
- At 1.5 years old, children have 5 daily meals. 3 of them are main and 2 snacks.
- It is advisable to have a clear daily routine in which these meals will be at the same time every day. This will allow the child’s body to get used to this order, promotes good appetite and successful digestion.
- In the nutrition of children after one year, give preference dietary dishes. You can season your food with vegetable oil or sour cream. It is allowed to use sugar and salt in moderation.
- Feeding children at night is a very controversial aspect. If a child asks to eat at night, then either he does not eat enough during the day (calculate the child’s daily calorie intake and discuss it with the doctor), or it is just a habit from “childhood.” However, drinking sweet drinks (for example juice) is not allowed at night; ideally, at night you should give the child, if he wakes up and asks, water or kefir from a cup.

*the quantity of each dish is written approximately, it all depends on the child
**children do not need to limit fruits, but they should be eaten no later than 1 hour before the main meal
***the menu is indicative, shows a variety of food, is not a strict diet
A baby’s first birthday is a serious date and a kind of turning point in many psychological and everyday aspects. This also applies to feeding the baby. A one-year-old child ceases to be a baby and becomes a child early age. He is not yet an adult, although he has already acquired teeth, can walk on his own, and speak individual words. Nutrition one year old child still far from the nutrition of an adult, but already approaching it. Let's talk about how to feed a toddler per year.
By modern recommendations, starting from 6 months, the baby is ready to receive complementary foods. The purpose of complementary feeding is to introduce the baby to different tastes and new foods. As part of complementary feeding, the child tries vegetables and fruits, cereals, and meat. As a result, by the age of one year he is familiar with most of the products that will make up his diet for up to 1.5-2 years. In terms of quality, the menu of a one-year-old child is practically no different from his menu during the process of introducing complementary foods. The main difference is the size of the portions and the consistency of the food.
If up to one year it is considered that the child’s main food is mother’s milk (or formula), and complementary feeding is needed only to introduce new foods, then after a year, even if breast-feeding continues, the main “supplier” nutrients and vitamins will come from food from the common table.
In this case, breastfeeding does not have to be eliminated; it will simply fade into the background and play an additional role. The baby can take the breast either after main meals or at bedtime/waking up. If the child was fed an artificial formula, it can be safely removed from the diet, since it, unlike breast milk, is very poor in composition and there is simply no point in using it.
Composition of a one-year-old baby's diet
The menu of a one-year-old child should be balanced. This means that energy and the nutritional value The diet must cover the needs of a growing organism. On average, the amount eaten per day is about 1000 ml. The recommended daily calorie intake for a one-year-old baby is approximately 1300 kcal.
If we talk about the content of the children's menu, then the basis of the diet should be cereals. The next place the body needs is protein. A child can get it not only from meat or poultry, but also from cheese, cottage cheese, fermented milk and dairy products, and eggs. Every day, a one-year-old child’s menu should include fresh and boiled vegetables, not exotic fruits, and berries in season. About once a week you should cook a fish dish. You can pamper your child with sweets, but these are not chocolates or candies, but marshmallows or marshmallows, and in very moderate quantities.
Requirements for dishes
Most children already have 6-10 teeth per year, so grinding food into a homogeneous puree is not worth it. On the contrary, you need to teach your child to chew, so first you can mash pieces of food with a fork, and then simply cut everything smaller so that the baby learns to chew. Meat can be given in pieces only by the age of 2, and at one year a child can eat it in the form of minced meat products - cutlets, meatballs. It is better to give fruits in a nibbler - a special mesh through which you cannot bite off too large a piece.
Usually, when a child starts eating “adult” food, the whole family switches to proper nutrition. If this does not happen, then the child needs to cook separately, because one-year-old children cannot eat fried, fatty, or smoked foods. Dishes for a child should be prepared without seasoning and slightly undersalted. It is better to steam it for your child and not in large quantities, so that all the food is fresh and not cooked for a week in advance.
Sample menu for the week
The general principles of nutrition for a one-year-old child are quite simple. However, it is not very convenient to keep them in your head all the time, so it is better for young mothers to draw up in advance and in a calm atmosphere, and then just stick to the plan. Readers will find a menu option for a one-year-old child, compiled for a week, below.

This is what a child’s menu looks like, written for every day. Sometimes young mothers have difficulties with recipes for children's dishes, because children's food should be healthy and tasty. This article contains the easiest and most successful recipes that can be included in the menu.
Examples of recipes for children
Steam omelette
It is best to cook it in portions:
- 1 egg;
- half a glass ml of milk;
- salt;
- butter.
Pour the egg into a bowl and beat well with a fork or mixer. Then add salt, beat again, pour in milk, and beat completely. The finished omelette mixture should be poured into a glass or enamel bowl, having previously greased its bottom and walls with butter. It is most convenient to cook an omelet in a double boiler; in the absence of one, in a “water bath” or in the microwave. Steamed omelette takes 15-20 minutes, in the microwave – 2-3 minutes.
Vegetable puree soup
The choice of vegetables for this soup can be absolutely anything: potatoes, carrots, zucchini, onions, broccoli, pumpkin, etc. You can add protein to the soup in the form of minced meat or eggs.
Vegetables should be washed and cut into small cubes, and then thrown into a pan and cooked. When all the vegetables become soft after about 25-30 minutes), you need to let the soup cool and beat it with a blender.
If you prepare soup with minced meat, then the ball of minced meat should be placed in boiling water 10 minutes before the vegetables so that it has time to boil.
Steamed chicken meatballs
Chicken fillet should be minced, mixed with a small amount of raw risk, add a little salt and an egg. The minced meat for the meatballs is ready.
Roll the minced meat into small “balls” and place them in a steamer bowl. Cooking time for meatballs is about 40 minutes. During this time, the meat has time to cook, and the raw rice turns into boiled rice and “produces thorns,” so the finished meatballs look like hedgehogs.
These simple children's dishes do not require high culinary skills from the mother. In addition, these dishes are quick to prepare, and for the mother of a one-year-old baby, time is an important factor, because the child requires a lot of attention, and the mother does not have the opportunity to stand at the stove for too long. Over time, every mother will master the intricacies of preparing food for her child and learn the food preferences of her child, so it will be much easier to figure out what to cook.
Every mother wants her baby to grow up healthy. This largely depends on what he eats, because it is in childhood that health is laid for life.
Food should not only be correct and balanced, but also tasty. We tried to combine this in our recipes. So what should you cook for a one-year-old child? Dishes to choose from.

At this time, the child needs to instill key habits related to eating.
Regime and diet
Children aged 1 year must be switched to non-dairy foods. It is advisable to reduce the consumption of any milk to five hundred milliliters per day. The child must also get used to the new feeding regimen. It is best to feed your baby five times a day. The frequency of main feeding is three times a day.

It’s better to prepare all sorts of things for breakfast. It can be semolina, rice or another mixture. They can be mixed with tomato or other vegetable juices, grated apples or all kinds of fruits. The main thing is to pre-soak and rinse the cereal thoroughly.
