By the end of the first year of the life to the kid who begins to move actively and quickly grow, there is not enough mother's milk any more. The growing organism demands a bigger variety. In 10-11 months it is a high time to acquaint the kid with new products which will give all the most useful and necessary for his full development.
To throw or continue?
Closer by a year most of mothers decides to finish "epic" with feeding by a breast. It occurs because mother's milk cannot sate the child as before any more. "Feeding" in this period turns into other status. It any more not feeding, but just psychological unloading for mom and the kid, a way to stay together, to have a rest. The kid is generally put to a breast by inertia, but not because wants to eat.
Therefore mom needs to define accurately whether she will continue to nurse further or will transfer the child completely to adult food.
We enter new products and dishes
Transferring the child to a new course in food, it is necessary to be very careful and consecutive. It is necessary to expand the menu gradually. Each product has to be "tested" by a children's stomach. If new food did not cause any allergic reactions, it is possible to enter something brand new safely.
Most of kids in 10-11 months are already familiar with juice, compotes and baby purees from jars. But for development both cellulose, and proteins, and carbohydrates are necessary. Therefore the menu of the child has to be the most various. Children's dishes differ from adults in way of preparation. Food has to be gentle, not firm, fresh, clean.
Meat
The main course which needs to be entered into the child's diet – meat. This product is rich with all vitamins and minerals which help to develop to intestines. Its fibrous structure helps to regulate a chair of the child, saturates an organism with iron. Meat dishes have to be fast. Any fat, fat: the imperfect small stomach can badly react to excess cholesterol. Besides soup it is possible to make steam cutlets or quenelles. To train them simply and quickly. Add a little bread to forcemeat and milk. From it it becomes very soft, and the child can chew small pieces easily. Forcemeat can be done not only of veal meat, but also of meat of a turkey, chicken and fish. You should not fray or shake up all food. In 10-11 months the child quite often has up to eight teeth. Therefore he has to learn to use them: to chew food, to develop a jaw.
Dairy products
Basis of a diet are dairy products. Kefir, fermented baked milk, milk, cottage cheese have to be used daily. Soft cottage cheese can be done. Home-made cottage cheese is done of sour cream and milk. Mix ingredients, insist in the warm place (for example, on the battery) 5-6 hours, and then cook on a water bath. The received weight is decanted. Cottage cheese turns out amazingly gentle. It is possible to add, by the way, a few grated fruit or just sugar. And from purchased cottage cheese it is possible to make cottage cheese casserole with addition of sweetish dried fruits. But they also have to be small cut or scrolled on the meat grinder. An integral part of food of the kid are milk porridges (at an allergy it is possible to cook porridges on water). On replacement with instant, the "real" grain comes. If the taste of a squash became boring to the kid, it is possible to offer it for breakfast the vermishelevy soup cooked also on milk. Milk as a product can be given too, but it surely has to be boiled. There is an opinion that pair cow's milk for the child is undesirable. The stomach of the child can not cope with such fat product.
Fruit and vegetables
Surely at a children's diet there have to be fresh vegetables and fruit. It is possible to do ragout and other vitamin dishes of vegetables. For example, to grate carrot and to season with sour cream and sugar. Fruit mixes are especially loved to children. Pieces of firm fruit can be grated or crushed in the blender. If to flavor fruit with home-made yogurt, it will turn out the tasty dish which the kid will surely eat is unreal.

The first feeding – 7-8 hours. Cottage cheese, juice or compote (this feeding can be combined with breast milk). The second feeding – 10 hours. Milk porridge or vermishelevy soup, tea.
