As your toddler explores more adventurous tastes, they're also learning the power of the word 'no'. Even with your healthiest intentions, it can be a challenge to make sure they get a perfectly balanced diet each day. Most toddlers' diets fall short of the recommended daily amounts of vitamins and minerals but there are plenty of ways to encourage healthy eating that will pave the way for good habits later on in life.
This section includes advice about providing a nutritionally balanced diet for your toddler, why family foods aren't always suitable and how you can use foods to support their developing immune system. We also look at the importance of iron for healthy development and what to do if they're refusing milk or making a meal of dinner times.
