Many toddlers need to eat small amounts of food frequently throughout the day. Snacks are important for your child to maintain all the energy necessary for playing and learning. However, snacks should be small and timed so that they do not interfere with regular meals.

Healthy snacks include whole wheat crackers or whole grain cereal, cheese, yogurt, fruit such as sliced apple, banana or pieces of seedless orange, and baby biscuits and cereal bars.

Vegetables such as grated raw carrots or soft pieces of cooked frozen vegetables like peas or diced carrots are fine provided your child is sitting down and is old enough to handle these foods while supervised without choking.

Your child should be given whole milk or fruit juice - not fruit-flavoured drinks or soft drinks.
