Toddler diets need more of these to help with growing and early child development.

All the portion sizes below are just for example. You may find your toddler is not a big eater, that's fine and don't worry. They will just eat what they need and get a lot of calories from their drinks as well.

Try and introduce foods of different colors and textures to your child. With a bit of experimentation you will find things they like to eat and some they don't.

1. Toasted fruit loaf slices: cut in to slices (I call them soilders) Cheese chunks Apple slices

2. Jelly (Jam)sandwich soilders: cut in to slices (On wholemeal or white bread) Raisins Apricots With a drink of milk for calcium to build strong healthy teeth and bones.

3. Bread sticks: with Cheese dips Cherry tomatoes Oranges segments and pear slices

4. Pitta bread wraps: filled with any meats (Cut into bite size pieces) Cucumber slices Tomatoe slices

5. Cheese strips: with Bread and butter soilders Melon chunks Salad Also a cup of water to drink. It is important to give your toddler regular drinks during the day. Water and milk are best but the occasional juice drink is fine. They may not drink a lot but a little and often is fine.

Your toddler will probably like a nice warm drink in the evening. A treat might be hot chocolate in the evening.
