Question
How much food should a one-year-old baby eat in a day?
Answer
At one year old, the baby has started weaning and can consume three meals a day, totaling about 400 milliliters of milk, along with half a bowl of rice. For the rice portion, it is recommended to be around 40-50 grams per day and include vegetables. When introducing other foods like fruits, the quantities should be gradually increased to help the baby’s digestive system adjust. Initially, you can start with a small amount of rice porridge, gradually adding egg yolks, green vegetable purees, and fruit purees, while training the baby’s chewing and swallowing abilities. Once the baby has adapted to these foods, you can then gradually increase the amount of rice and variety of foods. Considerable foods include rice porridge, egg custard, congee, millet porridge, broken noodles, and pair them with vegetables appropriately.
