Conclusion
Toddlers at 22 months should have a diet that is rich in whole grains, good fats, and protein. Remember that children at this age should drink full-fat cow’s milk – this will help in their optimal growth and development. At this age, you must try to seat your child with the family during mealtimes as this may help him eat better and try the food that is in front of him.
