OATS: Nutritional benefits

Excellent source of energy: Every 100 g of oatmeal has 400 kcal of energy for newborns. Oats are high in protein, fibre, and antioxidants, making them a wonderful meal choice for newborns. As a result, they provide a steady source of energy for your kid.
Promotes healthy growth: They are abundant in micronutrients like phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, calcium, iron, selenium, zinc, and copper, which give your child a well-balanced nutritional profile and help in the overall growth and development of the body.
Builds strong bones: Oats include elements such as calcium and phosphorus, as well as potassium, which helps to promote bone strength in your infant. (Vitamin D, calcium and kids : Foods for strong bones)
Eases digestion: Oats have the highest amount of beta glucan, a soluble fibre which is necessary for normal bowel movements.

When can I give my baby oats?

When your kid reaches the age of six months, you can begin feeding oats. Begin with simple recipes with oats for breakfast, such as oat porridge. When your infant is used to oats porridge, explore with different flavours by using fruits and vegetables. However, just add one new ingredient at a time to evaluate his preferences and check for allergies. (6-month baby food chart )

Which type of oats is best for babies?

Choosing the correct sort of oats for your infant might be difficult because there are so many different varieties – instant, rolled, steel-cut, and so on. While there are several types of oats that are safe for your baby to consume, it is better to avoid giving him instant oatmeal or anything that has been over-processed because it will have little to no nutrition to deliver. As a result, choosing steel-cut or regular oats is the greatest option for your kids. ( Check 5 harmful side effects of Food preservatives for children )

Things to Keep in Mind When Feeding Oats to Your Baby

Before you offer recipes with oats for breakfast or any other meal to your baby, there are a few things you should keep in mind to ensure that your baby reaps the most advantages from this food.

Introduce oats to your infant after six months or when he or she begins solid meals in order to avoid any adverse reactions.
Choose regular oats or steel-cut oats for the best results.
Boil the oats for 20 to 30 minutes, or until they are soft enough for the infant to digest.
For the first time, give your infant plain cooked oats to see whether he has an allergic reaction. If your infant has no allergies, you can give him or her oat porridge with fruit or veggies added to it.

When your baby is ready to explore solid meals, oatmeal is a fantastic supplement. They are highly healthy, and we are confident that you will enjoy cooking these delectable recipes with oats for breakfast or snacks and make dining a joyous experience for your little bundle of joy. Remember to introduce new meals to your infant slowly and after consulting with a doctor. To get the most advantages, aim to feed your kid organic foods as often as possible.

8 Healthy Recipes for Picky Eaters with Veggies and Fruits

November 9, 2021December 21, 2022 | Srilekha

Every mother has a tale about her child refusing to eat fruits or veggies. The struggle between kids and a platter of fruits and vegetables is as ancient as time itself. Fruits and vegetables that are colourful and crunchy are a vital and delightful element of your child’s diet. Essential nutrients are found in both vegetables and fruits and are necessary for their health, growth, and development. If you are having trouble encouraging your kids to eat their vegetables and fruits, here are 6 easy tips and tricks along with 8 healthy recipes for your picky eaters. (7 Health foods for kids daily nutrition)

6 tips and tricks to make kids eat veggies and fruits

1. Keep exposing children to veggies and fruits

It is easy to become disappointed if your child refuses to eat a vegetable or fruit, especially if you have tried multiple times with no success. Even yet, if you keep presenting the same vegetable or fruit, they are likely to try it eventually.

Keep portion amounts and preparation techniques in mind when introducing your kid to a new veggie/fruit or one they have not tried before. To avoid being turned off or overwhelmed by a whole dish, start with a tiny piece, such as one or two pieces. To entice children to try veggies or fruits, they need to be exposed to them regularly. Even if your child initially rejects a vegetable or fruit, try again with the same or alternative preparations. (10 Amazing health benefits of bottle gourd/ lauki)

2. Mix veggies and fruits into their favourite meals

What’s impressive about veggies and fruits is their versatility. Vegetables and fruits may be made more appealing by including them in your toddler’s favourite dishes. If your child enjoys pizza, idli, dosa, khichdi, noodles, paratha, pasta or scrambled eggs, consider adding chopped or shredded veggies to these recipes. (7 health benefits of carrot for kids)

3. Hide vegetables and fruits in ways your kids will not recognize.

Do not give up if your children refuse to eat a vegetable or fruit. One of the best parts about vegetables and fruits is how readily they can be incorporated into recipes, often in unnoticeable ways. The possibilities for incorporating vegetables into meals are nearly limitless. Vegetables may be hidden in sauces and dips by mixing them with other ingredients.

Almost any vegetable or fruit may be used to produce veggie or fruit-loaded smoothies and soups. Another method to increase your toddler’s veggie consumption is to add shredded carrots, broccoli or cauliflower to pizza. Also, try adding spinach, shredded carrots, mashed sweet potatoes or beets, and berries, apples, bananas or peaches to pancakes, cookies, or muffins.

4. Involve them in the shopping and meal preparations.

If you can bring your children to the grocery store, spend some time familiarising them with vegetables and fruits. Discuss with them the name of the vegetable or fruit and how it tastes.

In addition to shopping, have your children assist you in the kitchen or observe you while you make meals. Before the meal, give your child an option between two vegetables/fruits or ask how they want their vegetables cooked. You may ask them to add a few veggies or fruits during preparations and it is one of the great ways to grow their comfort level with vegetables and fruits. (Kids nutrition: 5 reasons for poor nutrition)

5. Make it fun-filled

Other meal factors, rather than the veggie or fruit itself, might impact a child’s desire to eat them. If your child refuses to eat veggies/fruits that have been sliced or diced, try cutting them into stars, hearts, or other shapes instead. Serve them in brightly coloured bowls or plates. Make meals more enjoyable by using brightly coloured dishes, entertaining cutlery, and veggies and fruits chopped into various shapes.

6. Be a good role model

Have you ever wondered why kids are so picky when it comes to vegetables and fruits? The solution is straightforward. If you enjoy tasty foods, your child will as well. Serve fruits and/or vegetables often, particularly at each meal and snack. Allow your children to observe you making healthy food choices and eating your veggies and fruits. Do not force them but make it enjoyable.

What is the right amount of fruits and vegetables for the kids to consume?

Providing your child with fresh fruits and veggies daily can help them stay active and healthy. Continue to provide your child with healthy recipes of fruits and veggies daily, rather than simply the ones they prefer.

According to USDA recommendations, the serving size of fruits and vegetables is determined by age. However, 1 cup of vegetables and fruits is the recommended serving size for children aged 2 to 6. Serving sizes for children also vary depending on their appetite and degree of activity. Remember that any amount is better than none, and continually look for opportunities to add more.

Nutritional information of Ragi flour

When can babies eat ragi?

Because of the benefits of ragi for health, it is the best weaning food for babies after the age of six months. To be clear, it should not be your baby’s first food. Steamed and mashed veggies such as potatoes, apples, etc. should be the first thing on your menu to get started. You can make Ragi malt at home and other recipe of ragi flour that is ideal for your child. (Baby’s first foods: How to introduce solids?)

HEALTH BENEFITS OF RAGI:

Here are 6 reasons why ragi needs to be the next go-to snack for children.

1. GREAT SOURCE OF PROTEIN AND FIBER:

100 grams of Whole Ragi Flour gives 7.29 grams of protein and 16.56 grams of fibre. Ragi helps in the easy movement of foods in the stomach and adds water into the stool, hence aiding easy digestion and relieving constipation. (6 Best foods for digestion and constipation in kids)

2. CALCIUM RICH – PROMOTES HEALTHY BONES AND TEETH:

When compared to other grains, ragi flour is one of the greatest non-dairy calcium sources. Calcium is essential for building strong bones and teeth, as well as for the prevention of a bone-weakening condition called osteoporosis. The sprouting process can increase the calcium content in Ragi by 20 percent. (Benefits of calcium in kids)

3. IMPROVES RED BLOOD CELLS PRODUCTION – PREVENTS ANEMIA:

Naturally rich in iron, ragi benefits those with low hemoglobin levels. Also, vitamin B1 helps in the synthesis of red blood cells and generates ATP, which is used by our bodies for energy. (Foods rich in iron)

4. GLUTEN-FREE:

Ragi is a must-have for anyone on a gluten-free diet or suffering from celiac disease. For chapatis, dosas and some sweets, ragi can readily replace wheat because it is gluten-free. (A guide to a Gluten free diet for kids)

5. RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS:

Other health benefits of ragi include its antioxidant property. Ragi is rich in antioxidants which prevents oxidation and fight against infections. Also, being a rich source of amino acids, it aids the body’s natural ability to relax. You can efficiently combat depression, headaches and insomnia, as well as anxiety and stress, by consuming ragi. (Why do we need antioxidants)

6. GREAT PICK FOR THE LITTLE ONES AND NEW MOMS:

The health benefits of ragi make it a great choice for infants and new moms. As well as aiding with their digestion, it also strengthens their bones and promotes their overall growth. Ragi is great for stimulating milk production and balancing hormonal processes in pregnant women and young moms due to its high iron and calcium content.

Moms are always hearing complaints from their children about having to eat the same foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Indian mothers are just as guilty for doing it, and Indian cuisine has a fantastic technique to combat it! Parathas!
