After a baby reaches the age of one, it can be said that they have entered a landmark stage of growth and development. During this period, babies also have about ten baby teeth, so the food they eat should gradually diversify. But for new parents, what is good for their babies to eat has also become a challenge. So what should babies eat after one year old?
After the age of one, babies will gradually approach adult food in their daily diet, and because they already have basic chewing ability, there is no need to always eat too soft and rotten food. Adding solid foods for babies to consume can exercise their chewing function and also help and promote the growth of other baby teeth in the later stage.
At this time, foods that can be eaten by babies include bread, noodles, potatoes, potato strips, pumpkin strips, cucumber strips, etc. The food should be able to be chewed by the baby, allowing them to bite and chew on similar foods. We also need to prepare some small biscuits, cakes and other foods for the baby, and let them pick them up and eat them by themselves. This not only increases the baby's appetite, but also benefits the training of fine hand movements and development.
In addition, it should be noted that when the baby eats this type of food, the parents must carefully watch over it and avoid the danger of swallowing and getting stuck in the esophagus and respiratory tract when the baby eats these solid foods for the first time. So, don't cut the food into large pieces, it's better to use small, thin, and elongated shapes. This way, it's easy for the baby to grab it and won't choke the baby because the food is too big.
