Health Advice

By 12 months children can eat the same type of food as adults. The average amount of daily calories for both girls and boys vary - girls its 1165 per day and for boys it’s 1230 calories per day. It’s recommended that you go easy on fibre as their stomachs can’t process it as well, choose full fat food and cram in as much calcium. Full fat milk and other dairy products are important as they provide vitamins and minerals and are a good source of calories. These days there are a vast quantity of different yogurts especially for children fortified with vitamin D and calcium. As toddlers grow so fast they need a high energy diet, also their stomachs are very small normally the size of their tiny fists! hence they’ll need small amounts often. A healthy option to crisps and biscuits are halved grapes or slices of cheese.
