Dishes for a child 2 years old. Dinner: Vegetable stew

Although the baby is happy to sit with his parents at the dinner table, this does not mean at all that the nutrition of a child at 2 years old should be identical to the diet of an adult. An exception is the situation when the family adheres to a healthy lifestyle, and only useful products are present in the menu of all relatives. However, the concept of "healthy eating" can be viewed differently by people. So, in families of vegetarians, the child is deliberately deprived of meat or other products of animal origin.

Adherents of a raw food diet make up their menu so that the fruits in it occupy from 50% to 70% of the total amount of food consumed. The benefits of such nutritional systems are questionable for a growing organism. No less detrimental to the health of a small creature can be grandmother's rich soup with pies and stewed potatoes with fatty ribs. How can young parents organize the nutrition of a two-year-old baby for his good?

We exclude harmful products

Since we are talking about what is useful for crumbs at 2 years old, and what is not, we will immediately discuss how to feed a baby is categorically contraindicated. The list of such products is quite extensive:

• Smoked meats, deep-fried and spicy dishes, fast food products;
• Seafood that can cause an allergic reaction (shrimps, crabs, mussels, red and black caviar);
• Mushrooms;
• Fatty meats (lamb, pork, goose and duck meat);
• Milk not adapted for baby food;
• Grapes and melon, which increase flatulence and disrupt the function of the pancreas;
• Sweets (cakes, sweets, ice cream, chocolate, muffins, shortbread or puff pastry);
• Honey (for children prone to allergies);
• Sparkling water;
• Pasta and sausages (at least you can give them to your child as an exception).

In addition, consider the individual characteristics of the body of your child. You should not stuff your baby with what is useful if he has a natural intolerance to a certain product.

The main components of the diet of a child of 2 years

The daily norm of products that a 2-year-old baby should receive should be divided into 4-5 doses. A typical menu for a child at this age looks something like this:

1. Breakfast: milk porridge + bread with butter and cheese + tea / cocoa with milk.
2. Second breakfast (can be combined with the first): fresh fruit + juice.
3. Lunch: should include 3 courses
   • the first - soup / borscht + bread;
   • the second - meat / liver / fish dishes + vegetable side dish / salad / porridge;
   • dessert + compote / tea.
4. Snack: cottage cheese casserole / cheesecakes / fruit pudding + jelly / compote / milk.
5. Dinner: scrambled eggs / vegetable stew + kefir / fermented baked milk / tea.

It is believed that the most nutritious meal should be lunch, while the first breakfast and dinner should be approximately equal in calories. The second breakfast and afternoon snack serve as snacks. What to feed a baby at 2 years old, the following table will tell you:

Products and dishes	Features of preparation and introduction to the baby's menu
Vegetables,	ž Boiled, stewed or steamed vegetables no longer need to be mashed (the exception is mashed potatoes) - the baby can already chew pieces of food. Vegetables and fruits can be served as fresh salads, for example: carrots + apple, cucumbers + white cabbage + olive oil. Some vegetable salads can be seasoned with low-fat sour cream. In a small amount, walnuts and pre-steamed prunes are added to salads. Vegetables are also combined in stews, included in soups or stuffed with minced meat. žThe child can be given fresh fruits and berries whole or cut into pieces, as well as sculpt dumplings with them, and include them in cereals and cottage cheese casseroles, puddings. Baked fruit with sugar will be a wonderful dessert for the sweet tooth.
Cereals, cereals	Semolina, oatmeal (in milk or with dried apricots), rice, wheat, buckwheat - what a child should receive daily. Porridges are seasoned with butter or poured with meat gravy. Avoid eating barley. Porridges are cooked not crumbly, but viscous (for this, liquids are taken 3-3.5 times more than the volume of cereals). On the basis of cereals, you can cook cue balls, cutlets, casseroles. Ready-made cereals are supplemented with berries and fresh or boiled fruits, or lightly flavored with honey.
soups, puree soups,	žUp to 150 ml of soup or borscht for lunch is the norm for crumbs at the age of 2 years. The first dishes are cooked in meat broth. Choose lean meats. It is advisable to drain the first fat, then cook the meat over low heat, constantly removing the foam. Pepper, bay leaf and tomato paste should be excluded.
Meat	žLow-fat meat is included in meatballs, meatballs, lazy cabbage rolls, soup with meatballs, potato-meat or meat casserole, meat goulash, vegetable stew, soufflé, and also in mashed soup (grind the boiled piece through a meat grinder).
Fish	210 g of fish is a weekly norm for a child of 2 years old, which must be divided into 2-3 doses throughout the week. Preference should be given to trout and lean white sea fish: hake, tuna, pollock, horse mackerel, cod. The following dishes are prepared from fish: meatballs, meatballs, baked fish, which is served with a side dish of rice and fresh vegetables.
Liver	The product is rich in easily digestible proteins, promotes digestion and hematopoiesis. žThe baby's diet includes chopped boiled liver with cereals or stewed vegetables, as well as pancakes from the liver.
condiments	Dishes from the menu of a two-year-old toddler (soups and vegetable side dishes) can be supplemented with dill, parsley, lettuce and celery in small quantities.
Bread	žWheat or rye bread in the menu of a child at 2 years old should be present daily. žTo replace fresh bread, you can offer croutons and croutons for soup.
Legumes	ž Boiled beans and peas should preferably be peeled to prevent flatulence in a child. Beans are added to borscht, served as a side dish or added to a vinaigrette. On the basis of fresh or dry peas, soup is boiled or mashed, seasoned with milk and butter and brought to a homogeneous state. Sprinkle vegetable side dishes with whole boiled peas.
Milk	žThe norm of milk consumed by a 2-year-old baby per day is 600 ml (200 ml of which is kefir). Do not neglect the need to boil and strain the milk before drinking. Cocoa, milk soups and cereals are cooked on the basis of milk. It is better not to give milk that has turned sour at home, so as not to disrupt the normal process of the baby's digestion.
hard cheese	Cheese is given to a child most often for breakfast after the main course with bread smeared with butter.
Chicken or quail eggs	A single dose of the product is ½ chicken or 1 quail egg. It is acceptable to introduce 2-3 eggs into the child's diet per week. Eggs are not given to children raw. They are boiled hard boiled or cooked in the form of an omelette.
Dairy products	High-quality fresh cottage cheese (9% fat) with low-fat sour cream and sugar is suitable for an afternoon snack or dinner. Cottage cheese is included in curd-semolina casserole (with steamed raisins, dried fruits or fresh berries), cheesecakes, thin pancakes or dumplings. Cheesecakes and pancakes are smeared with sour cream and homemade jam; it is also added to soups and borscht. It is preferable to prepare drinking natural yogurt on the basis of special starter cultures. Kefir and fermented baked milk should not be too low fat.
Dessert	High-quality marshmallows, marmalade and marshmallows are those sweets that can occasionally indulge children of 2 years old. Unsweetened cookies can be given to the child in the afternoon.
Beverages	In addition to milk and sour-milk drinks, children are given natural black and green tea without flavorings, compotes, fruit and berry jelly and juices. It is better to cook compotes from dried fruits, occasionally from wild rose. From juices, choose apple, apple-grape, apricot, peach, cherry, plum.

Menu for a child at 3 years old: nutritional principles

A three-year-old child has almost completely switched to adult food, but there are still some restrictions in his diet. Let's look at what to feed babies at this age, how to cook food and how to build an optimal diet that covers all the needs of the child.

The opinion that the child’s nutrition should be monitored only until the age of 3, and then the baby can be allowed to eat anything, is erroneous. Rational nutrition is important for children who have crossed the three-year milestone, no less than for children 1-2 years old. It provides for the following details:

• All food for a child of three years old can be divided into daily and occasionally consumed. The foods that a baby needs every day include fruits, butter, bread, meat, vegetables, sugar and milk. It is not necessary to give cottage cheese, fish, cheese and eggs daily - dishes from these products are prepared 1-3 times a week, while consuming the entire weekly norm of the product.
• The distribution of calories during the day for a three-year-old child will be as follows: 25% for breakfast, 35-40% for lunch, 10-15% for afternoon tea and 25% for dinner.
• With regard to macronutrients, special attention in the child's diet should be given to the intake of animal proteins (they should make up at least 2/3 of the total amount of proteins in the diet) and vegetable fats (they should be at least 15% of the total amount of fat).
• As for carbohydrates, the diet of a 3-year-old child should be at least 3% of fiber and pectin, which the baby receives from fruits and vegetables.
• Seasonings and spices are added to dishes for a three-year-old child in a small amount. Rare use of canned and dried foods is considered acceptable.

If a child goes to kindergarten, consider his menu when developing a diet

Three-year-old children move a lot, grow actively and need high-quality sources of both energy and plastic material. After 3 years, a child needs approximately 1500-1800 kcal per day. The amount of proteins and fats in the daily diet of a three-year-old baby should be approximately the same, and carbohydrates should be 4 times more than any of these nutrients.

With regard to specific products, the needs of a three-year-old child are:

• A child should consume a variety of vegetables up to 500 g per day, and potatoes should be no more than 1/2 of this amount.
• Fresh fruit is recommended to consume 150-200 g per day.
• Vegetable or fruit juice should be drunk in a volume of 150-200 ml per day.
• Cereals, pasta and legumes are given to a three-year-old child in an amount of up to 50 g per day. Porridges begin to cook not viscous, but crumbly.
• The maximum amount of sugar and confectionery products that contain it (marmalade, marshmallows, marshmallows, jams) in the diet of a 3-year-old baby is 50-60 g. At the age of 3, it is already permissible to start giving chocolate.
• A child should eat bread of different varieties in the amount of 150-170 g per day (a minimum of 50-60 g of rye bread is recommended).
• Meat for a child can be consumed up to 90 g per day, fish - up to 50 g.
• A three-year-old child consumes eggs every other day, 1 piece or 1/2 daily.
• Dairy products (among them - milk, kefir, yogurt, fermented baked milk and others) should be supplied per day up to 500 g.
• The child's menu may include non-sharp hard cheese (it can also be processed) in an amount of up to 15 g per day.
• Cottage cheese is limited to 50 grams per day.
• Vegetable oil is added to different dishes for a child in the amount of 6 g per day.
• Animal fats in the children's diet can be represented by butter (it is advised to use up to 17 g per day, adding to porridge and bread) and sour cream (add up to 15 g daily to different dishes).
• Margarine can only be used in the preparation of homemade muffins.
• Flour products are limited to 100 g per day.

You need to adhere to the principles of nutrition without fanaticism, consider the wishes of your child

Babies of this age are given fresh juice, fresh, dried and frozen fruit compote, special juice for children, drinking water, rosehip broth, jelly, coffee substitute, tea. At the same time, tea for a three-year-old child is made weak and preferably with milk. Once or twice a week, children of this age are boiled cocoa.

Three-year-old children are not given:

• Smoked products.
• Products with artificial colors, preservatives and other additives.
• Fatty meats.
• Spicy dishes.
• Mushrooms.

Teaching a child to a certain diet helps to improve the digestion of food, as his digestive tract will produce digestive juices for the next meal. Hot food should be given to the child three times a day. In total, 4 meals are provided at the age of three, and the breaks between them should be about 4 hours (the maximum allowable break is 6 hours). It is recommended to give the baby food at the same time every day, deviating by a maximum of 15-30 minutes. In between meals, do not allow the child to snack on sweets.

The diet is highly dependent on the temperament of the baby, but at the age of 3, try to adjust it and bring it to generally accepted standards.

Starting from the age of three, it is permissible for a child to give fried food, but preference should be given to the previously used methods of food processing - boiling, stewing, baking. Unlike cooking for adults, preschoolers cook meat longer (up to two hours), and fish less (up to 20 minutes).

Prolonged processing of vegetables worsens their mineral and vitamin composition, so boil potatoes, carrots, and cabbage for no longer than 25 minutes, and beets for 1 hour.

• In the diet of a three-year-old child, the assortment of dishes is already quite large. For children, they prepare stews, stuffed and fried vegetables, various fish dishes, puddings, casserole meat dishes. Dishes from legumes and meat are given in the morning because of their long digestion.
• The volume of one meal for a 3-year-old child increases to 350-400 ml, and the total daily food volume - up to 1500 g.
• For breakfast, the child is given the main course (porridge, vermicelli, egg or cottage cheese dishes) in the amount of 250 g. The child is offered a sandwich and a drink in the amount of 150 ml.
• Lunch starts with a snack, which is most often a vegetable salad and weighs about 50 g. First courses are given in a volume of 200-250 ml. For the second, they offer a meat dish weighing 70-90 g (twice a week they are replaced with fish) and 110-130 g of a side dish. Also, a child’s lunch should include bread (up to 80 g) and a drink (juice, compote, jelly) 150 ml.
• For an afternoon snack, a three-year-old child is offered kefir or yogurt in a volume of 200 ml, to which they give cookies (25 g) or homemade cakes.
• Dinner includes a main course weighing 200 g, a drink with a volume of 150 ml and bread up to 40 g. Milk and vegetable dishes are considered the optimal food for dinner, as they are easily digested.
• When compiling the menu, you need to ensure that the same dish is not repeated in one day at different meals. For example, if there was cereal for a side dish for lunch, then it is better to make dinner from vegetables.
• In the cold season, the child can be offered more porridge and bread, and in the hot season, more fruit dishes and vegetables.

At this age, habits are laid that form taste preferences for life.

The most common nutritional problem for a 3 year old is poor appetite. It is usually caused by frequent snacking and parental indulgence of the child's whims regarding different products. However, reduced appetite can also indicate a disease, such as intestinal pathology, nervous stress, or helminthic invasion.

In order for the child to have a good appetite, play active games with him and do not indulge the whims of the baby. A healthy hungry baby will eat!

If the child's appetite is reduced, a more nutritious meal should be offered first (this is especially true for dinner, when eating meat and side dishes is more important than soup). To improve digestion and increase appetite, cook for the crumbs in a variety of ways. To do this, you do not need to introduce a lot of products into his diet, just expand the possible range of dishes from those products that the child does not refuse. For example, if a child eats beef cutlets, offer him a soufflé, goulash, roll, casserole with vegetables. You can also increase your appetite by using different sauces.

Also keep in mind that there are situations when the child will not want to eat and at the same time be healthy:

• Right after sleep.
• With negative emotions.
• At high room temperature.

A child who goes to kindergarten should be given fruits, vegetables and protein dishes from cottage cheese, meat and fish at home to supplement the food the baby receives in the garden.

Include fruits and freshly squeezed juices in your child's diet

Consider the following nuances:

• From the age of 3, a child can begin to master the fork. Offer your child a small, serrated fork. Show your child how to prick pieces of food with this cutlery, as well as how to pick up crumbly food.
• Do not seat a child at the table who has just returned from a walk or played an outdoor game. Let the baby calm down a bit and only then proceed to the meal.
• Teach your child about hygiene by reminding them to constantly wash their hands before eating. You should also teach your baby to the etiquette of behavior at the table. The best way to do this is to lead by example.
• Do not distract your child while eating. Remember that a 3-year-old baby cannot eat and talk at the same time.
• On weekends, try not to allow long breaks without food and do not encourage the child to eat foods that are unnecessary for him.

Many parents give vitamins to a child from 3 years old. Whether there is a need for this, read in another article.

Here I made an approximate menu for a week for a child of 2.5 -3 years old. We are just 2 and 8. This is a set of foods and dishes that we usually eat.

Of course, this is a slightly idealized version. In the sense that such a variety every day is a plus and great. But in life, of course, it doesn’t work out that way, to eat different dishes every day))). Usually the soup, if cooked, is for the whole family (the baby has already grown up and eats with us) and for several days, so as not to mess up. So both the soup and the second are eaten for 2-2.5 days.

However, from the point of view - “what would you cook today”, when, for example, there is not much time for fantasy or something else ..., then it is very convenient to have such a menu in front of your eyes as a basis. Any mom, of course, has a bunch of her delicious recipes. I bring mine. It can also be changed and modified by me))

Each parent cares about the health of his child, so questions about his proper diet never go unnoticed. The menu of a child at 2 years old becomes more varied and satisfying. The nutrition of a two-year-old baby has its own characteristics, which you should be aware of. Children at this age are gradually getting acquainted with adult food, but it is still too early to completely go over it. Much of what you eat is still harmful to the digestive system of a small organism.

When compiling the menu of a 2-year-old child, it is necessary to take into account the needs of a growing body for nutrients. The baby has teeth, and he is already able to chew food. It is necessary to gradually accustom him to solid food: thick cereals, boiled meat, fruits and vegetables.

The most high-calorie food should be taken at lunch. Due to the rapid development and growth of a small organism, its nutrition at 2 years old is fundamentally different from what it was at 1 year old.

Diet

At the age of 2, a child's nutrition becomes four times a day and consists of breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Pediatricians say that children should eat 4-5 times a day. It should be remembered that frequent feedings will lead to poor appetite, and more rare ones will affect the digestive system and, accordingly, the well-being of your child.

Breaks between meals should not exceed 3-4 hours. By the age of two, the baby develops his own food preferences, favorite and unloved dishes appear. New products and ways of processing them are gradually introduced into its menu. In a toddler at 2 years old, the usual routine changes slightly. A desire for independence is manifested, which parents should only support, and not suppress.

The value of food as fuel for the body is measured in heat units called calories. Every day a child receives an average of 1400-1500 kcal. By caloric content, meals are distributed as follows: 25% of calories for breakfast, 30% of calories for lunch, 15% for afternoon tea and the remaining 30% for dinner. The most important thing is to ensure sufficient intake of essential minerals, macro- and microelements, vitamins.

Needs of a 2 year old

Mothers all over the world have to think daily about what to feed their child. Food should be steamed, baked or boiled. The ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the baby's diet should be 1:1:4.

Proteins are the main building material for the growth of the body, so dairy products, meat, fish and eggs should be included in the diet of a 2-year-old child. Carbohydrates are needed as a source of energy for children. These are mainly cereals, fruits, sugar, flour products and vegetables. Fats act as a guarantor of the energy needs of a growing organism.

The menu for a child cannot include such products as:

• mayonnaise and ketchup;
• chocolate;
• smoked meats and sausages;
• pickled foods;
• carbonated drinks;
• mushrooms;
• margarine.

Allergies are common in today's world. If a 2-year-old peanut has an allergy, then its diet is adjusted, and all food that can cause discomfort is excluded. With such hypersensitivity to certain foods, a hypoallergenic diet for children is suggested. consists of safe products that do not cause a negative reaction in the baby. For allergy sufferers, only the right diet will eliminate the risk of contact with potentially dangerous foods.

As for the liquid for a 2-year-old baby, about 100 ml of water is required for each kilogram of weight. per day. The amount of water includes any liquids that the child drinks: soups, compotes, milk, kefir, tea and others. Of course, in hot weather, the volume of liquid increases.

How best to make a menu

It is recommended to cook food for a child at 2 years old only once, since when the food is heated, its components lose their beneficial properties. significantly different from the diet of a two-year-old baby. As for the weekly menu for two-year-old children, it must be compiled taking into account all the needs of your little one's body. What does it include:

• In the morning, the main course is given in the amount of 200 g, bread with butter or cheese. The drink should be 100-150 ml.
• For lunch - the first course, for example, soup in a volume of 150 ml. For the second - a meat or fish dish - somewhere around 50-80 g and a side dish - about 100 g, compote or juice - 100 ml.
• An afternoon snack consists of kefir in a volume of 150 ml, cookies or pastries in a volume of 40 g, fruits and berries.
• Dinner in the amount of the main course 200 g and a drink 150 ml.

Dr. Komarovsky argues that feeding a child with high-quality and varied food is a prerequisite for the moral well-being of parents.

A tasty and healthy menu, enriched with vitamins and minerals, will contribute to the healthy growth and development of a growing baby. A 2-year-old child is already familiar with many foods from the adult table, and his tastes grow with him.

New gastronomic discoveries give the baby the opportunity to learn about the world around him. In order for these acquaintances with adult cuisine to be successful, mothers should follow some rules for compiling a diet for their children:

• Acquaintance of the baby with a new product should be started in the first half of the day in order to trace the body's reaction to it and avoid adverse consequences in case of allergic and other manifestations.
• Portions offered to a child at 2 years old should not be large - a new dish always starts with a couple of teaspoons.
• Feeding is a special ritual for both: for mother and baby. Therefore, the preparations for the meal and the process itself should be pleasant and useful at the same time. The diet for children of 2 years of age is an important rule for the formation of healthy habits.
• Snacks may be on the children's menu, but they should not be frequent, but used in rare situations when a full meal is not available. But even snacking should be in a calm environment (not “on the go”) for favorable digestion and child safety.
• The diet of two-year-old babies must necessarily include meat, fish, cottage cheese (processed with heat), sour-milk products, cereals, and always fruits and vegetables (daily). Full feeding will be the key to good immunity during the period of acquaintance of the child with kindergarten. It is worth being careful with bakery products, rich, store-bought sweets with a long list of ingredients and all sorts of chemical additives.
• At the age of 2, a child should be taught the rules of behavior at the table. Most of this process will fall on the shoulders of the kindergarten teacher, however, as you know, all the habits of a child come from his family, so we instill the rules of etiquette by our own example!
• For little "not wanting" you can come up with different stories of products and dishes. Let the process of eating the "unloved" dish become full of adventure for the baby. Let him come up with interesting names for the products - this will stimulate a new interest in food in him.
• Options for serving dishes from the menu can be standard, without frills, but such meals quickly get bored by small gourmets. The solution in such matters will be an interesting design of the dish, let it be funny faces or magical animals - this is the perfect way to get the baby to eat raw vegetables.
• A two-year-old baby is already quite an adult, and you can safely put him at a common table. Do not forget that a small child takes an example from an adult brother or sister, from his parents - let your joint meal be constant. Then the obligation of mothers to feed the baby with their own hands will soon disappear.

If you follow these simple recommendations, you will instill in your child the necessary skills for independent nutrition. This will make life easier for both mothers and, in the future, for his kindergarten teachers. And besides, it is such a happiness to see the healthy appetite of your child, which will undoubtedly be the foundation for strong immunity in the future.

Balanced menu for the week

At 2 years old, the diet of children is more diverse, so it becomes necessary to create a seven-day menu consisting of various first and second courses.

In winter and spring, there are usually few fresh vegetables and fruits on store shelves. In a child's life, this can lead to hypovitaminosis due to the lack of vitamin "C". In order to prevent this, it is necessary to add rosehip infusion to the menu.

Thus, a compromise has been found between tasty and healthy food for every day. A well-designed weekly menu will save parents from thinking what to cook for the baby tomorrow, and will allow you to buy the necessary products in advance. You can experiment with recipes, the main thing is to follow the basic rules.
