The act of coming up with a nutritional
menu for people according to their age.
Need to have a special diet menu to
help the growth, health and to help protect
against diseases.
Special diet includes consuming foods
that are high in nutrients such as iron,
vitamins, proteins, calcium and
carbohydrates.
You need to give your baby enough
nutrition during his first year.
These nutrients includes : calories,
protein, fat, vitamins and minerals.
Good nutrition fed to your child can
protect him from diseases.

healthily, consult your dietician and make
sure that you go to regular check-ups to
make sure that he is growing healthily.

Mothers should limit toddlers intake of
high sodium snacks and fast foods.
Choose snacks such as fresh fruits and
vegetables over high sodium food like
chicken nuggets and burger.
Choose and feed your child with low salt
or homemade food with less salt.
Children between two six years old
requires four to six glasses of plain water.
Crucial to ensuring the proper and healthy
of toddlers.
Try to serve protein EVERYDAY, even
during snack time.
16 oz of milk with 1 oz of meat ensure the
proper intake of protein daily.

the carrier of oxygen in the blood.
BUT if you over consume your toddler

known to hinder the absorption of iron.

toddler needs are

capillaries, bones and teeth.

normal growth.
