Nutritional Needs of Toddlers Between the Ages of One and Two

There are a lot of transitions that happen after your baby turns one. Toda, I’m diving into the nutritional needs of toddlers aged 1 to 2, a crucial stage often overshadowed by infancy and picky eating concerns that happen in toddlerhood. 

From caloric requirements to balanced meals, we explore the transition from baby feeding to toddler feeding, emphasizing the importance of healthy fats for brain development and the AAP's recommendations on limiting added sugar and salt. 

I break down the daily calorie intake, highlighting the challenge of providing nutrient-rich options within a toddler's limited appetite while offering practical guidance for incorporating a variety of foods into your toddler’s diet. This episode helps you figure out WHAT to feed your toddler and what nutrients to focus on for optimal growth and development.
