Drink, kids, milk
If your little one has crossed the line in one year, this does not mean that you should urgently stop breastfeeding. In the case when the baby is still experiencing a need for mother's milk, and the woman herself does not have the desire to stop such a pleasant process, you can leave one or two daytime and a couple of night feedings.
Is there no milk or desire to breastfeed? Then go on baby formulas. Some mothers begin to inject cow's milk into their diets. If your baby tolerates this product well, then continue to give it in small quantities. In milk, you can cook porridge or omelet for a one-year-old baby. Buy only a special product for young children and never use unboiled milk, which is sold in the markets.
1 year old baby food
The crumbs menu is already quite diverse. He is able to eat full servings of his favorite dishes. So, what foods should be included in the diet of a year-old peanut, provided that he does not have allergies?
