Feeding your Toddler

Toddlers can be picky with their food.

I mean, you can’t blame them. We, as adults, even choose what we think is tasty, right?

However, it is paramount that our toddlers get the nutrition they need. Make food as tempting as possible without risking nourishment.

Reminder: You should always wash your hands before preparing food for your child to prevent the spread of germs that could cause illness or infection.

Below are just a few recipes with a toddler’s seal of approval:

Final Thoughts on Parenting a Toddler

Parenting is undoubtedly a gratifying experience, but toddler parenting is on a whole other level. Those little people don’t hesitate to express how much they adore you!

Though stressful at times, remember that you only get a couple or three years to revel in the pure joy that comes with it.

Embrace every moment. You will love every bit of it!

You’ve got this!

And remember, you are allowed to be tired. So take that much-needed rest. You deserve it!

All the best,
