We have just published our all new toddler feeding guide! It is full of advice and recommendations for feeding stubborn toddlers, getting good nutrition into them, as well as the latest nutrition guidelines for toddlers. It covers all the basics and more from age 1 to about 3-4 years of age. It includes transitioning from bottle to cup and weaning to cow’s milk, oral health, and preventing obesity. It is free for our patients as part of our comprehensive prevention and well-child care program and parent education program. Be sure to pick up a copy in our office if you have a toddler at home!
