The volume of a food of children with very low or high weight of a body is defined by the doctor. Only it can consider all specific features and requirements of a small organism.
To children who are on mixed or artificial feeding, having certain deviations in physical development, the doctor can appoint to all other kinds of a feeding up also a yolk of abruptly welded egg. In this case by the end of month the daily food allowance will be such: the adapted dairy mix – 600 ml, juice – 40 ml, fruit mashed potatoes – 40 g, vegetable mashed potatoes – 100 g, meat mashed potatoes – 30 g, porridge – 50 g, house cheese – 30 g, a yolk – 1,4 pieces, vegetable oil – 3

The five-monthly child whom mum takes with itself for a table, shows active interest to water and food of adults, reaches for a spoon, a plate or a cup, persistently demands, that to it have allowed to try that drink and eat the others. It easily distracts during chest feeding at any insignificant rustle or movement literally the ambassador of two-three sosatelnyh movements.
If you try to organise quiet feeding, having retired with it from various razdrazhitelej, it hardly will help: it will always find an occasion to distract. This feature of behaviour should be accepted simply as it does not influence its physical development and good state of health.
Along with clarified, it is useful for kid to give juice with pulp as they have more pectin and kletchatki, favorably influencing intestines motility. Avoid to give those products which have provoked occurrence of allergic or other negative reactions.
Under the recommendation of the doctor it is possible to enter as the first feeding up fruktovo-dairy mashed potatoes (with addition of cream, cheese or yoghurt). Thanks to presence dairy-fatty (cream) and dairy-albuminous (cheese) of components they have the big nutritious and power value, than purely fruit and fruktovo-vegetable mashed potatoes.
For inclined to an allergy on dairy fibers of children it is better to use fruktovo-cereal mashed potatoes on the basis of a vegetable or rice flour. But at the same time, suffering congenital or got tseliakiej (illness of intestines) to give them is impossible for children (the same as also semolina or ovsjanuju porridges). Fruktovo-cereal mashed potatoes before the use do not need to be warmed up.
The second feeding up in the form of the dairy porridges prepared on the basis of various groats or krupjanoj of a flour, gradually enter into a food allowance of healthy children from 5,5-6 months. For 10-12 day in the absence of infringements of a food it is already possible to give them time a day in full, completely having replaced one more feeding. In porridge it is possible to add mashed potatoes, cheese, and to it – juice or a yolk. Butter addition (2-3 g for the portion) is admissible only with the permission of the doctor.
Kashis house preparation are usually monotonous on assortment, structure of components, are poor vitamins. In this respect considerable advantage have instantnye the porridges of industrial preparation enriched by natural additions, including iron and calcium salts. Such porridges are a prophylactic in development of an anaemia, a rickets, gipovitaminoza.
At an anaemia it is desirable to enter into a diet of the five-monthly kid and a canned meat which have high-grade fibers of an animal origin. For example, from a liver into which structure enters tsianokobalamin, accepting active participation in krovotvorenii. In general, an industrial canned meat for children of the first year of a life prepares from young growth and veal beef as in them practically there is no connecting fabric thanks to what they are very easily acquired by a children's organism. Their biological value raises at the expense of addition of oil and dietary house cheese. For manufacture of such canned food use also meat of chickens and indjushat.
At introduction in a food allowance of the child of any industrial tinned products it is necessary to consider their caloric content which usually is underlined on packing. For example, caloric content 100 g carrots mashed potatoes makes 30 kcal, prunes – 110 kcal.
Some mums believe, that if the child without objections eats the same dish day by day it is excessive to it to cook various food. Yes, tastes at children of early age are conservative. They willingly eat habitual food and are mistrustful to the unfamiliar. But a various food warns frustration of appetite and, that the most important thing, does possible to provide an organism of the child with all necessary nutrients.

It is useful to esteem, spasiba
It is very interesting to esteem, but with introduction of a meat feeding up to the child 5-6 monthly age I do not agree! Practically all books, magazines and pediatory recommend to enter meat in 7-8 months age.
