A complete guide to complementary foods for two-year-old babies and how to make them

The stomach and intestines of a two-year-old baby are not fully developed yet. Mothers should pay attention to the baby's diet. It is best to feed the baby some food that is easier to digest, such as pumpkin porridge and Qiaohu rice. These porridges can supplement the nutrients needed by the body and have a certain ability to improve the digestive ability of the stomach and intestines. Let us now learn about how to make and what complementary foods are available for two-year-old babies.

Two-year-old baby recipes

What you should pay attention to now is: the baby's stomach capacity is limited, so it is advisable to eat small meals frequently; eat more vegetables and fruits; consume a moderate amount of animal and plant protein; milk is rich in nutrients, especially calcium, which is easy for the baby to absorb, so milk is still an indispensable food for the baby during this period; eat both coarse grains and fine grains to avoid vitamin B1 deficiency.

Put oil in a wok, add the diced chicken when the oil is hot and stir-fry until 50% cooked, continue stir-frying the vegetable pieces, and finally add appropriate amount of oyster sauce.
