As babies grow up, their digestive and absorption abilities in the gastrointestinal tract gradually increase, so dietary changes need to be made slowly. However, there are still many foods that are difficult for babies to metabolize, so parents should pay attention to their babies' diet. So, what does a 22 month old baby eat?
By the age of 22 months, babies are already approaching two years old, so their digestive function is close to normal. Therefore, in daily life, their diet is mainly similar to that of ordinary adults. The first thing is to provide enough energy and protein, so that your baby can eat more cereal foods, such as rice and Mantou. Because the starch content of this type of food is very high, starch is hydrolyzed into glucose, which releases a large amount of energy after digestion and metabolism in the body. Therefore, babies can eat more of this type of food to supplement their nutrition.
For protein supplementation, he can eat more fish, milk, as well as various lean meat and seafood products, because these foods contain high protein and are easy for a 22 month old baby to digest and absorb. You can also let your baby eat more eggs and beans, such as tofu, soybean milk, etc. These are important sources of high-quality protein.
At the age of two, babies may need to supplement calcium. At this time, it is recommended to encourage babies to drink fish liver oil and other foods high in vitamin D and calcium, which are beneficial for their bone development.
