Meat in a diet of the kid appears already in the second half of the year. It is a necessary product as fills the child's organism with amino acids which take part in formation of new cages and fabrics, i.e. are construction material for all bodies. And as in the first year of life there is an intensive growth and development of the child, meat in the daily menu of the kid is just necessary.
Instruction
1. Meat is more difficult product for assimilation therefore the enzymatic system of the kid has to be ready to it. For this purpose from 6.5-7 months begin to enter into a diet of the kid the next feeding up in the form of fast beef or chicken broth. Due to stimulation of gastric juice it increases activity of digestive system.
2. Begin to give meat broth to the kid, as well as any feeding up, in a small amount (5 ml) and within a week bring a portion to 30-50 ml. Add croutons from white loaf to broth. Give meat broth and meat before vegetable puree during the lunchtime.
3. From 7-7.5 months give to the child meat broth with the ground or chicken beef which is well wiped on the meat grinder. For preparation of forcemeat from crude and boiled meat use different meat grinders. Also begin with a small amount. The first portion of meat for the child makes about 5 g (1 tsp). By 8 months it is increased to 30 g, and by a year up to 60-70 g. Besides beef and chicken meat it is useful for children to give the wiped liver. It is a source of iron and is especially shown to kids with low hemoglobin.
4. From 10 months replace forcemeat with quenelles. Give them with vegetable puree during the lunchtime. And by 12 months you enter steam cutlets. Train them with an egg yolk and also add to vegetable puree.
5. Thus, by a year, meat in a diet of the kid has to be almost every day. And only one-two days a week are allotted for fish food (from 9-10 months) which, as well as meat is a protein source. Meat broth improves secretion of gastric juice therefore surely has to be in the menu at children, especially with small appetite.
