Calcium is a primary mineral that promotes the growth and development of baby's bones and teeth. For a baby over 1 year old who is in the stage of growing bones and teeth, it is important to supplement calcium. For babies, dairy products are the best source of calcium absorption. Generally, babies of this age should ensure they consume more than 400 milliliters of milk per day. In addition, shrimp skin, seaweed, beans, and leafy vegetables also have high calcium content. Below are two calcium-rich recipes suitable for 1-year-old babies:
1. Stir-fried Tofu with Chinese Toon Shoots: Wash the tender Chinese toon shoots and blanch them in boiling water for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the water and cut them into fine pieces. Take the boxed tofu out and put it on a plate. Add the Chinese toon shoots, salt, and sesame oil. Mix well and it's ready to serve. This dish is fragrant, tender, and rich in soy protein, calcium, and carotene, making it suitable for babies to eat.
2. Shrimp Skin Seaweed Egg Soup: Wash the shrimp skin, tear the seaweed into small pieces, and wash the coriander before cutting it into small sections. Beat an egg and set it aside. Heat the ginger in a pan, stir-fry the shrimp skin lightly, add an appropriate amount of water, and bring it to a boil. Pour in the beaten egg immediately. Then add the seaweed and coriander, and add sesame oil, salt, and chopped spring onions as desired. This soup is delicious and rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and iodine, which are beneficial for babies to supplement calcium and iodine.
