How many servings of fruit, veggies, and protein a day should a 1 yr old eat?
According to the AAP, they are supposed to eat about 1/4 the amount a healthy adult eats, same amount of servings and everything. According to the average toddler, they are supposed to eat whenever and whatever they want. It is rare to have a child that eats everything they are supposed to, but somehow they all grow up fine, by some miracle. I was just as worried about my son when he started table food, so I give him a liquid multivitamin called poly-vi-sol and after he is done eating we offer him some baby food just in case he is still hungry. Remember, their tummies are as small as their fists, so dont give him any junk to eat, make sure all his food is healthy and balanced and he will eat what he needs.
