It is also important that your child eats cereals, such as rice or pasta, and it is necessary for him to eat foods rich in calcium: give him milk and dairy products every day.
- The ideal cooking methods are: steam, oven and foil. As a condiment, prefer olive oil. It is recommended to prepare light meals and avoid fried foods.
- Regarding the milk from the bottle, it is important to ensure the hygiene of the powdered milk during preparation. If you prepare it in advance, you should keep it in the refrigerator at 4 ° C or below, for less than 30 hours. You should warm it up just before your baby’s meal. However, if you keep the bottle at room temperature, it should be consumed within four hours. In this case, the ideal is to keep hot water in a thermos and to prepare the bottle just at the time of your baby’s meal.
