Being worried about what your children are eating is normal for every parent.
These days it’s recommended that a baby who is being breastfed continues on breast milk alone for up to 6 months if possible.
From the age of weaning (which is generally between 4-6 months) until the child reaches 5 years old it is essential that children get the right nutrition as its this age that they develop rapidly! As the little ones have small appetites they need to have regular meals and snacks which are packed with energy and nutrients.
To get them use to eating all the right kind of foods it’s better to introduce them to a wide variety. For a balanced diet try to include:
- Fruit & Vegetables
- Milk & Dairy Products
- Starchy Foods
- Meat, Fish, Eggs and Alternatives (pulses/beans)
