For two years in a child erupt to 20 milk teeth. This means that it has a solid and can eat more roughage. It is useful not only for the development of the masticatory muscles, but also for intestinal peristalsis, which begins to digest food.

Meanwhile, the power of the child in 2 years is still different from the adult diet. Despite the fact that the digestive system is more perfect, the child's body can not accept some of the dishes.

Carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins

Growing child's body needs a lot of carbohydrates. Feed your baby cereals. Kashi - an excellent source of energy for a little restless. Some kids do not like them. Creative imagination: add pieces of fruit cereal, dried fruit, vegetables or meat. You can cook porridge out of casseroles, meatballs or burgers.

Protein and vitamins, combined with excellent digestible carbohydrates. Bread, biscuits and pasta also contain a lot of carbohydrates. Gradually enter into the diet of dumplings, potato pancakes, crepes and pancakes. But pasta and flour products should not be carried away, as they have to excess weight. The daily bread ration (black or white) for the child is not more than 100 g

If annual legume dishes were not yet available, the 2-year-old can cook them periodically for the child.

The menu baby two years of age must be included milk and milk products. The child will not do low-fat milk or yogurt. Leave them to their diet. Although fats are found in its importance in the background, without the brain and nervous system develop normally will not.

It is known that milk products contain a lot of calcium therefore simply necessary for bone formation and growth of the child.

Include in the diet of cheese products. For a two-year toddler cheese is in second place after the milk and meat.

Surely the kid like cottage cheese, cereal, meat and vegetable casseroles. Flavored low-fat sour cream, they will satisfy even the most notorious capricious.

The source of protein are lean beef, lamb, liver, eggs, fish. Dishes from these products must be included in the menu of the baby at the age of two years. Not less than 1 time per week the child cook sea fish. It is rich in iodine and proteins. The fish can be boiled, stew or steamed. The meat does not necessarily give minced. Boiled or stewed, with sauce or gravy, meat is perfect for any garnish.

Dairy sausage, cooked low-fat sausages appear in the menu baby is extremely rare.

A special place in the child's diet, nutritionists withdrawn soups and other dishes first. They should be the menu daily. Borsch in meat broth most useful. Limit the use in soups and borscht bay leaf, tomato paste and other spices.

As for salads, salads, seasonal fruit and vegetables (radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, etc.), they can be given without restrictions (if the child is not allergic to them).   As the filling, use vegetable oil or low-fat sour cream. Do not let year-old child salads with mayonnaise.

Pickled tomatoes and cucumbers in the winter can be given in limited quantities, as the nutritional value of fresh vegetables they lose. Sauerkraut is rich in vitamin C. It can occasionally give a kid, but remember that it is often the cause of flatulence and intestinal cramps.

At the age of 2 years, the child can learn about cocoa, tea and coffee with milk and unnatural. As before, let him milk, fruit drinks, jelly. But with sweets such as candy and chocolate is better to wait. At lunch, you can offer your baby savory crackers or biscuits and candy, marshmallow and marmalade.

What products should not give

Take the time to give your child carbonated soft drinks, potato chips and similar products, sausages, bouillon cubes, canned. Their nutritional value is very doubtful, because such products normally contain preservatives, food additives and dyes. Their processing - big challenge for the child's body.

Goose meat and duck are also poorly digested, so the age of two should not be cooking for children.

Any diet and vegetarianism will bring only harm children's health. If a baby is not a food allergy, no special diet should not be entered.

If a kid is naughty for food

Many mothers do not face the vagaries of meals. They can handle only needs to be patient.

Time and place of the meal should be the same. Develop a ritual to which the child will soon get used to.

Buy a beautiful children's dishes. Let your baby be a plate on the bottom of which are illustrated fairy-tale characters. While he eats, you can tell him a story, the end of which will be shown on the plate.

If a child eats at the table, instilling in him a culture of eating, shows how to use napkins and cutlery.

Do not expose all the dishes on the table. Serve the salad first, then the first, second, with a side dish, and only then drinks. The child will have no choice, so he eats everything in the correct sequence.

Do not make your baby have forcibly. Children's body will know the limits of saturation. Besides overeating is bad and from the next meal the child simply refuses.
