Feeding a Child in His First Year
At this age you can already start feeding the child citrics, eggs, fresh cheese and whole milk. Wait for a few months before feeding the child cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and processed cheeses. Avoid feeding the child bacon, soft drinks, seafood, sausage, and canned foods. Besides hot sauces and spices, the child can start eating what the rest of the family is eating preferably at the same time in which the rest of the family eats. The baby will love to eat accompanied and realize that he or she is part of the family.
Sometimes it will seem that the appetite of the child has reduced and normally what happens is that the growth rhythm of the child has decreased and the energy the child consumes is his new activities will cause him or her to gain weight in a slower way. If the child has a balanced diet, even if he does not eat the amount you serve him, don’t worry or stress about it. The weight gain starting from one year is of approximately 170 grams a month, as opposed to the 600 grams a month it was before.
