The standard numbers for nutrition for a 1 year old baby
Turning 1 year old, in addition to breastfeeding, children begin to learn to eat and get used to a diverse and rich world of nutrition. How do I know if my baby is fully provided with nutrients for comprehensive development? Mom do not ignore the following standard numbers on nutrition for a 1 year old baby!
Children 1 year old need proper nutritional supplements for comprehensive development
1 / Standard number of 1-year-old baby's weight
When they are 1 year old, babies weigh about 10-12kg on average. The weight of children in the first years of life is mainly due to bone and muscle mass, very little presence of excess fat. To ensure nutrition for 1 year old baby, mothers should add protein, calcium and fat to the child's daily diet. Especially not to abstain from fat, because of lack of this nutrient, children are very susceptible to mental retardation and growth retardation.
2/ 1-year-old baby's growth rate
When the child reaches the 1 year mark, the child's height and weight growth is quite fast. In terms of height, children can increase 2cm / month and 0.2kg / month in weight. Nutrition at this stage is crucial, whether the child eats quickly or slowly gains weight and is stunted.

Mother should pay attention to taking care of meals for babies at the age of 1 year, typically every day need 20-25% protein, 30-40% fat, the rest are starch and other essential vitamins and minerals.
3 / What are the nutritional needs of a 1 year old baby?
Based on the child's weight, mothers will know how much nutritional needs they need to provide each day. Accordingly, this density is about 45-46 calories / kg. If you let the energy needed for daily adult activities and life, just multiply this density by the weight.
However, the same formula cannot be applied to young children. Do you know that the child's nutritional needs are 2.5 times that of adults? This means that to calculate the daily energy needs of the baby, the formula must be: 45 x 2.5 x The child's weight.
For example, if the baby weighs 11kg, then the baby's energy needs are about 45 x 2.5 x 11 = 1237.5 calories / day.
4 / Speed of energy metabolism
Because of high nutritional requirements to meet the rapid development in the early years of life, the child's metabolic rate is therefore 2 times higher than that of adults, ie 3.6-4kcal / hour.
Mom do not worry when the child's body temperature is hotter than me, sweat flows more, or is often hungry and needs to eat 5-8 meals / day. All of these consequences are because the baby is developing gradually thanks to a very fast metabolic rate.
5 / Baby's stomach size 1 year old
Maybe your baby will often complain of hunger and demand constant food, but this does not indicate that the baby's stomach is very large at the stage of development. The volume of the baby's stomach is only about 60-100ml, which can hold about 0.2 kg of food. Therefore, instead of letting the baby eat a lot at a time, the mother should divide into several small meals, and it's best not to let the baby fast for more than 3 hours.
