Mlo wa kuongeza uzito: Mtoto miezi 11

Mtoto anapofikisha miezi 11, huwa na uwezo wa kula karibu aina zote za vyakula vya familia, ila kwa maandalizi maalum. Katika umri huu, lishe bora huimarisha ukuaji wa mwili, kinga ya mwili na uwezo wa akili. Watoto walio na uzito mdogo kwenye umri huu wanahitaji chakula chenye virutubisho vya kutosha—hasa protini, mafuta mazuri, vitamini, madini na wanga.

Ratiba hii inalenga kusaidia mzazi au mlezi kutoa lishe kamili kwa mtoto wa miezi 11 kwa kutumia vyakula vya kawaida vya nyumbani vinavyopatikana kwa bei nafuu.
