During the growth of children, the demand for nutrition is particularly critical, including various elements such as vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, and calcium deficiency is particularly common in children. Therefore, promoting the healthy growth of children through daily diet is particularly important. Next, let’s explore several porridge recipes suitable for children together.
When cooking daily family rice, you can dig a small pit in the center of the pot with rice and water, allowing the rice grains here to absorb more water, making the middle part of the cooked rice softer. Take an appropriate amount of this soft rice, knead it into a paste and set aside. At the same time, the prepared meat broth, fish broth, or vegetable broth needs to be strained to remove residues, especially the fish broth needs to be carefully checked to avoid fish bones and skim off the surface oil. Then, place the processed soup and rice paste in a small pot, simmer on low heat until it thickens, gently add a little salt to taste. Finally, mix in a quarter-cooked egg yolk (mashed), boil after thorough mixing, and feed it as a supplement when the temperature is suitable for 5-6 month-old babies.
Another simple method suitable for slightly older babies is to take 3 tablespoons of milk (adjust according to the baby’s appetite), and take a slice of toast, remove the edges, tear it into pieces, and put it into the milk. If using formula to prepare the milk, no heating is needed, directly mix in the bread crumbs and stir well. If using fresh milk, heat it until the milk boils, then turn off the heat, and use a spoon to crush the bread crumbs.
With the increasing emphasis on health, good dietary habits can not only prevent diseases but also enhance immunity, which is particularly important for the growth and development of children. Therefore, nurturing healthy dietary habits in children is a responsibility that every parent should not neglect.
