Patient's question:
A two-year-old and nine-month-old boy baby drinks formula milk every morning, then eats half an apple. For lunch, he has noodles with four shrimp. After a nap, he eats some food like corn, taro, purple sweet potato, and eggs, cooked in different ways, and also drinks a cup of yogurt. In the evening, he has dinner and bananas along with other fruits. Will this child be getting too many nutrients? Seeking advice, thank you?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it is important for the baby to have a balanced diet at the age of two to prevent deficiencies in vitamins and minerals. Focus on taking vitamin D drops, 400 units daily, to enhance calcium absorption and promote growth. The baby should ensure 350-500ml of dairy products daily, pay attention to a variety of food choices, and advocate for natural foods with a balanced diet. Consume 50g of animal-based foods, 100-150g of grains, 150-200g of vegetables, 150-200g of fruits, and 20-25g of vegetable oil daily. Try to minimize salt intake and opt for easily digestible homemade foods to prevent the baby from eating fried foods, fast food, and sugary drinks, including.
