[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Before one, eating is just for fun." Getting them used to tastes and textures (as well as testing for allergies - giving every new food a three day trial before moving on to the next food) Sticking to most fruits, vegetables and cereals in the beginning is also recommended. There is nothing to cooking/preparing baby food. You steam or roast the vegetable or fruit and puree it in a blender. I made larger portions and froze what he couldn't eat in a couple days. I once read that a portion for a toddler is one-quarter to one-half of an adult portion. I go for balance now that DC is 1.5 and not on formula or bottles at all. Five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day, four to five servings of milk, two servings of grains and healthy oils (maybe more than that), and .55 grams of protein per pound of weight which is really easy to do with dairy and eggs. [/quote] Oh sorry, I didn't see that you were vegan. You should definitely see a pediatric nutritionist about what to feed your toddler. Getting enough protein into their little stomachs is much harder without dairy. [/quote]
