MEAL PLAN By 18 months, your child is able to eat the same foods as the rest of the family. A typical meal pattern for this age consists of 3 meals and about 2 snacks daily. Your child may be able to verbalize when he is hungry and when he is satisfied. His developing communication skills may also include voicing his likes and dislikes when it comes to food. The best way to encourage healthy eating is by continuing to offer
a variety of nutritious foods across all food groups, while limiting his exposure to foods with added sugars and salts,
including processed foods.
