Young children need a nutritious balanced diet to meet their nutritional needs for activity, growth and development. A balanced combination of foods from all five classes of food makes up a healthy diet for young children. Young children should be encouraged to eat to their appetite and drink enough water. This meal plan contains good combination of adequate nutrients to provide sustained energy and weight gain. As a mother to a boy toddler who was weaned at 18 months, he started losing weight, and lost appetite for food. I got frustrated for a while but encouraged by my husband to create a meal plan for my son, tried out different meals to know what works and would provide the necessary nutrients for adequate growth. I created a meal plan which included smoothies that evoke great appetite to enable healthy eating. it has been a great journey to healthy eating for my toddler. So Let Our Toddlers Eat and Be happy!
