What
Are
"Normal"
Eating
Habits
of
a
Toddler?

Do
you
ever
wonder
if
your
child's
eating
habits
fall
outside
of
the
extremes
for
his
or
her
age
group?
Does
his
or
her
behavior
seem
too
odd
to
be
acceptable?
Do
you
wish
your
child
begged
for
salad,
and
always
tried
whatever
you
offered?
Your
neighbor's
child
is
the
perfect
little
eater
—
so
what's
wrong
with
yours?
Here
are
a
few
things
I've
learned
as
a
mom
and
Registered
Dietitian
that
might
ease
your
mind:
1.
Consuming
only
9
1/2
goldfish
crackers
over
the
entire
course
of
the
day
should
not
only
be
considered
normal,
but
expected
at
one
point
or
another.
2.
If
your
child's
not
a
huge
milk-drinker,
it's
O.K.
Cheese
and
yogurt
contain
similar
nutrition.
3.
Some
toddlers
love
vegetables
innately,
while
others
just
plain
refuse
them.
Continue
to
attempt
to
feed
them
vegetables
such
as
carrots,
peas,
and
broccoli.
However,
there
are
wonderful
kid-approved
fruits
that
are
chock-full
of
nutrients:
blueberries,
raspberries,
strawberries,
cantaloupe,
watermelon,
and
cut-up
grapes,
to
name
a
few.
