The toddler years indicate a period of transition between 12-24 months when toddlers are developing their taste buds by getting acquainted with a variety of foods. Breastfeeding which took care of all the nutritional requirements during infancy, gets replaced by newer foods such as mashed potato, banana, cheese, milk and legumes. Depending on age, size and activity levels toddlers require around 1,000 to 1,400 calories per day. It is important to introduce nutritious foods in their diet in order to inculcate healthy eating habits.
