After the age of 2 years, children should move to eating the same foods as the rest of the family in the proportions shown in the Eatwell Guide. For advice on children under the age of 2 years, visit Parent Club.
Offering different foods at each meal and snack time can help your child get a range of nutrients while getting them used to a variety of flavours and textures.
Eating and enjoying food together with the family can help encourage your little one to try new flavours and textures. Young children’s appetite can change day to day, but eating with them as often as you can will make it much easier for them to develop good eating habits.
