Feeding Children 6 Months & Older (eBook)
"The guide was very helpful in giving us guidance on how to feed a balanced meal to our 1-year old and gave us a vision for what mealtimes as a family could look like. I especially loved the drink guide as it answered some questions I had about juice and milk quantities for his age." - Hilary S.
It is important to learn which foods to feed your family.
Sadly, children are among the stats of poor health. According to the CDC, in 2017-2020 obesity prevalence was 12.7% among 2-5 year olds, 20.7% among 6-11 year olds and 22.2% among 12-19 year olds. Obesity is defined as a body mass index at or above the 95 th percentile. Picky eating is so common it is mistakenly considered benign. Picky eating can lead to physical and mental health consequences. Additionally, how we prioritize health can contribute to the development of disordered eating. In a meta-analysis of 63,181 children and adolescents from 16 countries, 22% showed disordered eating.
