Nutrition rules for a child 1-2 years old
- The baby's diet includes five meals a day, the most satisfying is lunch; breakfast and dinner should be a little lighter and approximately equal in calorie content;
- Fish and meat dishes should be given in the first half of the day, and dairy, vegetable and cereal dishes - in the second;
- Feed your baby freshly prepared food rather than preparing it the day before. During storage, food loses its beneficial properties;
- The volume of one serving of food for a child 1-2 years old is 300 grams. At the same time, the norm of soup for a child under two years old is 120 ml, at the age of two or three years – 150 ml, for children over three years old, the portion increases to 180-200 ml;
- Don't force your child to eat if he doesn't want to. The baby must get hungry himself;
- Do not teach children to eat while watching TV or playing;
- Give your child warm food, especially soups. Too hot food can burn the stomach, and cold food loses vitamins and beneficial elements;
- When cooking, do not use hot herbs and spices, do not add sauces. You can add salt, black pepper, sugar in small quantities;
- Cook over low heat to retain as much vitamins as possible;

What soups are suitable for a child?
Soups are prepared on the basis of vegetable, meat and fish broths. In addition, there are dairy and cereal dishes, soups with liquid and puree (creamy) consistency. Pediatricians do not recommend giving soups to babies under 12 months. But if the baby adapts well to adult food, or he was bottle-fed, this dish can be introduced into complementary foods at 10-11 months.
A soup recipe for a one-year-old child should be simple. This should be a low-fat dish that is easy to digest. It’s better to start with vegetable soup in cream or puree form. The first recipe for children under one year old contains no more than two ingredients, and you need to choose vegetables that have already been introduced into the baby’s diet. Potatoes, cauliflower, zucchini, broccoli and pumpkin are perfect; a little later you can add carrots, onions, peas, tomatoes and herbs.
Vegetable soups are rich in vitamins and plant fibers, beneficial minerals and organic acids. This composition ensures the full growth and proper development of the baby. At first, to prepare such a dish, vegetables are ground to a puree consistency and diluted with water. After a year, you can start cooking liquid soups with already chopped, rather than pureed vegetables. In addition, they are starting to give vegetable broths.
After a year, milk soups are included in the diet. The recipe for this soup includes cereals or pasta. This food is rich in vegetable proteins, vitamins and mineral salts, starch. At the beginning of introducing milk soup into the baby’s diet, the ingredients are first boiled until tender in water and then poured with boiling milk. At first, it is better to dilute milk by half with water, and after two years they completely switch to milk. Milk porridge for children is prepared in the same way.
It is better not to give broths containing meat or fish to children under three years of age. When cooking meat or fish, extractive substances are formed that irritate the intestines and cause stomach upsets. In this case, meat or fish can be cooked separately and then added to the vegetable broth. Below we offer soup recipes for children aged 1 to 2 years.

How to prepare fish soup for a 1 year old child?
Usually, the first fish dishes are introduced into the diet of children before they are one year old, but the time for fish soup comes after the first birthday. True, in this case, fish soup is significantly different from what adults are used to. When choosing suitable recipes, it is best to lean towards those that use low-fat varieties of white sea fish. True, there are good options for preparing dishes from tender salmon:
- We will need a fish fillet (about 100 g), half a potato, a teaspoon of white polished rice, half a carrot, a small piece of onion, a teaspoon of butter, two glasses of boiled water, a little dill, salt.
- Fish soup for children is prepared very quickly, but only if you follow the correct sequence of steps. First, add a small amount of regular cold water to the rice and boil until soft. While this is happening, we clean the fish from bones and skin, rinse it, fill it with boiled water and set it to cook.
- At this time, chop the onion, grate the carrots and potatoes. As soon as the salmon floats to the surface and it becomes obvious that it is ready (usually this takes 7-10 minutes), remove it and set it aside.
- Add processed vegetables to the fish broth and cook until tender. Then add rice there (drain the water first) and keep the whole mass on the fire for another couple of minutes.
- Add the boiled fish, salt and herbs directly to the child’s plate.
This is the simplest recipe that can be supplemented with your baby’s favorite ingredients. The main thing to remember is that children's fish soup does not tolerate the presence of legumes and cabbage.

Choosing soup for a child

Turkey soup for a child - cooking features
Contrary to popular belief, baby turkey soups differ significantly from chicken soups in taste, texture and chemical composition. Therefore, both should be present in the child’s diet. In the case of dietary, but denser meat, the main thing is not to overcook it, bringing it to the point of excessive toughness.
The basic recipes here look like this:
- Turkey puree soup. We will need a small piece of meat, a quarter of a small onion, a teaspoon each of flour and butter, half a glass of milk, the pulp of half a piece of white bread and water (from a glass to two depending on the desired thickness of the composition). Boil broth from meat, onions and water. Then we filter it, and pass the turkey meat and onion through a meat grinder several times or grind it in a blender. Heat the broth again, put the resulting puree, butter mixed with flour, and boiled milk into it. After a few minutes the mixture will look like thick cream. It can be seasoned with herbs and salt. Serve with white, slightly toasted bread.
- Green cabbage soup with turkey. For 100 g of meat we take several leaves of parsley, 50 g each of sorrel and spinach, one potato, a little onion and carrot (for taste), a teaspoon of sour cream, half a boiled egg, a pinch of salt. We cook broth from meat, carrots, onions and parsley, and then remove all the ingredients. Wash the sorrel and spinach thoroughly, changing the water several times, then grind with a blender to a puree. Add diced potatoes and green mass to the broth. We separate the turkey meat into fibers, chop it with a knife and also add it to the saucepan. Once all the ingredients are ready, cook for another five minutes. Season the finished soup with salt, sour cream and grated egg.

Soup for a child 5 - 6 months: recipe
At 5-6 months, soups can already be given as complementary foods. But children's soups are far from our usual understanding of borscht and other first courses. The puree, which the baby is already familiar with, consists of one vegetable or fruit in his menu. Soup is a multi-component dish.
Here are a few rules that a mother should follow when preparing her first complementary foods:
- To ensure a balanced diet, give your baby different soups. For example, twice a week it’s milk, twice it’s fish, the rest of the days it’s cereal or potato and vegetable. Fish soup can be introduced into a child’s diet at 10-11 months. Until this time, make a menu without fish.
- Cook the soup over low heat to retain all the beneficial substances.
- Avoid spices and seasonings . They are not needed in baby soup. Products must be natural. Also limit the amount of salt or avoid it altogether.
- Cook soups without frying, vegetables only boiled.
- Use lean meats and fish for meat broths and meatballs. Meat: chicken or turkey fillet, beef. Fish: hake, pollock, pike perch. Vegetables include zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, pumpkin, carrots and regular white cabbage.
- Feed your baby freshly prepared soups. Don't leave it for tomorrow. Although the dish will be stored in the refrigerator, after 12 hours there will be no useful substances left in it.
- Introduce new foods and dishes gradually.
Soup for a child 5 - 6 months
Soup for a 5-6 month old child should be made only from vegetables, without meat. Vegetables are pureed with a blender or fork. So, the recipe:
- Place half of the peeled and washed potatoes, 1 piece of cauliflower, and a third of the peeled and washed carrots in a small ladle.
- Pour water so that it barely covers the vegetables and put on fire. Let it cook for 20 minutes after boiling. It is better to cut carrots and potatoes into pieces so that these vegetables cook better.
- When the vegetables are ready, remove them from the broth and puree them in a blender or mash with a fork.
- Add broth to make a thin paste. No need to add salt. You can add a couple of drops of vegetable oil.
Worth knowing: Do not give your child tap water to prepare soup, even if you drink it yourself. Such water may contain salts of heavy metals. Be sure to purify the water through a filter or buy ready-made clean water at a pharmacy or store.
That's it - now you can feed the baby. But for the first time it is enough to give him 1-2 teaspoons of soup. Then every day the portion can be increased by another 1-2 teaspoons.
