Toddler Eating and Nutrition Judith Myers, APD, MPH
Developmentally, toddlers fall in between infants and children but they are very different to both. How and what a toddler eats is imperative to avoid eating issues in childhood and later life. As dietitians, we are in an excellent position to help parents navigate around this very special but often challenging time.
