Diet Plan for 18 Month 4 Week Old Toddler
In this Article
Introduction:
As we wrap up the 18th month diet plan this week, your toddler is sure to be enjoying the same food as the rest of the family. Make sure that he has a glass of milk each day, as it will give him the calcium he needs for stronger bones and teeth. You can also choose nutritional supplements to add to the milk in order to improve the taste and increase the nutritional value of the milk. The diet plan ensures that he gets all round nutrition from the food he eats, so you can tend to other aspects of his life, such as learning, etc., knowing that his health is taken care of. Lets look at the final week of the diet plan for your 18-month-old toddler.
