By this stage children are growing very quickly and have formed their own likes and dislikes about food. However, they still need a healthy and varied diet.
Toddlers can be fussy eaters. They may love certain foods - spaghetti, potatoes or rice - and hate others. Don’t worry; just make sure you use a range of ingredients to make balanced and delicious meals. You could, for example, experiment with different sauces. One day you might prepare a tomato sauce, the next day you could add some cheese or make a sauce with minced meat, fresh tomatoes and carrots. Just add a tablespoon of margarine (e.g. Rama) to provide a good source of the essential fats that the body needs for healthy growth and development.
