What to feed 1- to 2-year-olds

According to the health publication Kids Health, parents should feed their little ones food packed with nutrients and avoid sweets and empty calories.

The information hub advises:

"Don't give your child sugar-sweetened drinks, such as soda, juice, sports drinks, and flavoured milk. Limit 100% fruit juice to no more than 118ml a day, and serve juice in a cup, not a bottle."

Kids Health also notes parents should serve various healthy foods from all food groups and let the child decide which food they want to nibble on.
