Dr. Chheda – 🍎 Every age has its challenges. This section is going to provide you with some milestone-based strategies. Offer a variety of different foods. It is not about volume, it is about variety. Focus on foods that have lots of iron in them. Focus on lots of different vegetables.

For your 1 to 3-year-olds, expect them to refuse food – that’s developmentally normal. And you may have to reintroduce a food up to 15 times before you say this is not gonna be in our selection. And stick to the parent decides, child chooses principle. Don’t let the child decide what to eat.

For your preschoolers, your 3 to 5-year-olds, have them help you. Have them go shopping with you. Have them prep the foods with you and make food playful. Call broccoli trees – they’ll enjoy it and they’ll eat it.
