Baby complementary food is a complete and balanced nutrition that is important for growing children. Infants and young children who are exclusively breastfed start from 6 months old. For babies fed formula milk powder, if they want to add complementary foods earlier, they can first consult a professional pediatrician for advice based on their actual situation. Let's take a look at the complementary food recipe for a fifteen month old baby.
1. Runfei Yali Congee
Ingredients: 2 fresh duck pears, 100 grams of glutinous rice, and an appropriate amount of water.
Method: Wash the stem rice thoroughly and soak it in clean water for 60 minutes. Wash the pear thoroughly and chop it into small pieces along with the belt core. Boil the Yali pear in water for 30 minutes, then remove the pear residue. Finally, serve a bowl.
Efficacy: Pear has a good role in moistening dryness. It is used to cook Congee. It has the effects of clearing heat, moistening the lungs, and resolving phlegm. It is suitable for babies with hot lungs, cough, fever, dry mouth, dry tongue, and dry cough without phlegm.
2. Mung bean milk Congee
Ingredients: 50g mung beans, 100g rice, 300ml milk.
Method: Soak mung beans in water for 1 hour, and rice in water for 30 minutes. Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, then add mung beans and cook until they bloom. Add the soaked rice and continue to cook porridge. After the water boils, turn down the heat and simmer until the mung beans and rice are soft and tender. At this time, the Congee has been cooked, and then put in the milk. After re boiling, continue to cook for 5 minutes at low heat, and then turn off the heat.
Effect: Green beans are rich in inorganic salts and vitamins. Using mung bean soup as a beverage in high temperature environments can timely supplement lost nutrients and achieve the therapeutic effect of clearing heat and relieving summer heat.
3. Tomato pepper fish paste
Ingredients: diced carrots, diced mushrooms, rice, 1 egg, and a small amount of fish fillet.
Method: Beat the eggs (usually a baby takes 1/4 of the egg mixture), add 2 times the amount of water and stir evenly. Pour into a small bowl and set aside. Slice the fish into slices and remove the spines for later use. Pour the steamed rice and water into the rice cooker, add sliced carrots and washed small cauliflower, and press the cooking button. Halfway through the cooking process, when the rice has absorbed moisture but is still relatively hard, carefully open the lid and insert a small bowl filled with egg mixture into the rice. Cover the lid and continue cooking.
After the rice is cooked, open the lid of the pot and clip the fish slices onto the already solidified egg custard. Then immediately cover the lid and continue to simmer for about 7-8 minutes. After steaming the fish fillet, open the lid and take out the cauliflower and carrot, grind them into a shape suitable for babies.
Effect: Eggs contain almost all essential nutrients for the human body, such as protein, fat, lutein, lecithin, vitamins, and iron, calcium, and potassium, making them an ideal nutrient bank.
A 15 month old baby should pay attention to their daily diet and nutrition. When eating, they should mix meat and vegetables well. Milk powder should still be around 250 milliliters per day. Milk powder has high nutrition and is easy for the baby to absorb. When adding complementary foods, the mother should not forget the baby's main course.
