How is the amount of feeding determined for a one-year-old baby?
16-month-old baby, feel always not enough to eat, appetite is very good, has been eating, sometimes do not give food to cry, worry about eating more food, can not speak, the current stomach is rounder, but not hard. It can sometimes be dark and dry.
1. How to determine the amount of feeding? 2. Can I eat sugar and salt? At what age is it best to eat again?
1. How is the amount of feeding determined?
The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends: 1-2 years old children, the recommended amount of staple food per day is 50-100 grams, vegetables and fruits are 50-150 grams, meat, poultry and fish 50-75 grams, 1 egg, milk about 500 ml, according to their own children's appetite to arrange. (Note: The amount of ingredients refers to raw weight)
Whether the feeding reaches the baby's needs, you can refer to the baby's growth and development curve, if the weight and other indicators have been the trend of growth, there is no problem.

Generally speaking, children are aware of hunger, of course, parents should not interfere too much in the feeding process, which affects the child's innate perception function.
2. Give your child time to add sugar and salt
After the age of one, if the child does not accept the original food, you can add salt, each child's needs are different, the specific time is subject to the performance of their own children.
Sugar intake requirements
To put it simply, follow the principle of not eating without eating, and eating less if you can. Babies under 1 year old are best to eat plain foods; babies over 1 year old should preferably consume more than 18 grams of free sugar per day.
Of course, some complementary foods are inevitably made of sugar, such as homemade cakes, and when the protein is distributed, a small amount of sugar will be added in order to make the stability better.
Let's calculate the account, if you make 10 pieces of cake, use 2 grams of sugar, then a piece of cake sugar is 0.2 grams, the child eats 5 pieces of cake a day, the amount of white sugar ingested is 1 gram, overall it is still very small, so in the end it still depends on the actual amount of sugar the child consumes, rather than seeing the white sugar to be afraid and worried.
How big is your baby with added sugar and salt?
