Because of the age-old employment, many people stop watching what they eat. But modern moms, despite the mountains of domestic chores and hassle, take seriously the health of their beloved child. And because of special care and love, they prepare separate dishes for him. Although there are also such parents who are in a hurry to add crumbs to the adult menu. And thus do not take into account age features of the digestive system of the child. But the over-saturation of the children's diet with fatty, fried, salty and sweet leads in the future to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Usually the preparation of breakfast and lunch does not cause any special problems: in the morning - porridge or an omelet, and for dinner necessarily soup or borsch. But what to feed the child for dinner? It is this question that worries many mothers.
A useful dinner for a child: what should it be?
For a day the kid will play so much and run up, make so many fun and interesting things, that he definitely needs food that will charge him with the energy spent. Along with this, dinner should be easy, because the crumb then needs to go to bed. If you cook food from foods that are hard to digest, even the most delicious dinner for children will provide a sleepless night for both mom and baby - it will spin, cry and wake up. Therefore, the supper is better at 19.00 o'clock, that is, three hours after a mid-day snack in the kindergarten. Food will have time to digest before bedding, and the crumb will see sweet dreams. For children who do not attend kindergarten, food should be prepared 1,5-2 hours before bedtime. Parents should limit the amount of liquids drunk at night. Otherwise, the baby will toss and turn, ask for a pot. If the baby gets hungry before going to bed, offer him a glass of yogurt, drinking yogurt or ryazhenka.

- vegetables and fruits;
- porridge;
- fermented milk products and cottage cheese.

For dinner, cheese cottage cheese and sour cream are suitable. The same product is often used in the preparation of casseroles and soufflé.
