Feeding Our Children

In addition to concerns over curtailing childhood obesity, just as many parents worry that their children are not eating enough.

With my own daughter, the battle to get her to eat a full mean occurs every day, despite a million different approaches with no consistent results. I know I am not alone in this, nor am I alone in my worry that she is not getting enough nutritious sustenance to support her growing body.

Thankfully, Babyzone just made the following chart available to parents who want to know exactly how much their child shoud be eating on a daily basis.

Though the chart only goes up to the age of 2, it certainly provides some insight into the daily guidelines. It is also important to keep in mind that a day here or there where these amounts are not met should not result in serious worry; this list represents what should be consumed on an average day.

Whatever we eat affects every cell in our body. Eating healthy helps us to grow and develop correctly which helps our child also during pregnancy.
