A. Here are some simple and nutritious recipe ideas for a one-year-old baby: ### Breakfast: 1. **Mashed Banana with Oatmeal**: Mix mashed banana with cooked oatmeal. Add a bit of breast milk, formula, or water to reach a desired consistency. 2. **Fruit Puree with Yogurt**: Blend fruits like apples, pears, or peaches and mix with plain yogurt for a creamy, nutritious breakfast. ### Lunch: 1. **Vegetable Puree with Rice**: Cook and blend vegetables like carrots, peas, and potatoes with rice for a smooth, easy-to-eat meal. 2. **Soft Vegetable and Chicken Stew**: Cook and finely chop or blend soft-cooked vegetables like sweet potatoes and chicken. Ensure the texture is appropriate for your baby’s eating skills. ### Snacks: 1. **Avocado Mash**: Mash ripe avocado and serve plain or mixed with a bit of yogurt. 2. **Cheese Sticks**: Offer small, soft cheese pieces or sticks that are easy for your baby to hold and chew. ### Dinner: 1. **Mashed Sweet Potato with Lentils**: Cook lentils and sweet potatoes until soft, then mash together for a nutritious meal. 2. **Vegetable Soup**: Prepare a mild vegetable soup with well-cooked vegetables, then blend or mash to suit your baby’s ability to chew. ### Tips: - **Texture**: Ensure that foods are cooked until soft and are cut into small, manageable pieces. - **Allergies**: Introduce new foods one at a time and watch for any allergic reactions. - **Variety**: Offer a variety of foods to ensure a balanced diet and to expose your baby to different flavors and textures. Always check with your pediatrician if you have concerns about specific foods or if your baby has dietary restrictions.
