Toddlers are a bundle of energy, and this is the golden period, to lay the right foundation for a healthy eating pattern. This is the stage when toddlers progress from an infant’s diet into a typical solid diet.
While they need a significant amount of fat and carbohydrates, toddlers also require considerable intake of proteins and vitamins. Focus on giving meals from two major food groups, dairy and carbohydrates, and provide foods from other food groups as snacks. Variety is the key to encourage your toddler to try all types of food.
Since toddlers are in the transition period, they can be very fussy about what they choose and eat. Providing the right nutrition and making your child eat sufficient quantities, can be quite a complicated task.
Sneak in the nutrition that you want to provide your child in an artful way. Present the food in various colors, shapes, textures in a kid-friendly way.
Give your child the freedom to choose between two healthy food options. Toddlers feel powerful when they have control over food. This can reduce the meal tantrums, to some extent.
