A. In most cases, it's best to try increasing your child's protein intake through the foods they're eating. Sharing sips of your protein smoothie with your child is okay in moderation, but I'd recommend waiting until your child is over 2 years old before adding any protein powder or supplements to their diet.It's far more likely that your child is going through a normal developmental phase. “Selective (or 'picky') eating often shows up between 12 and 18 months,” says Yaffi Lvova, RDN, who focuses on prenatal, infant, and toddler nutrition. “The official term for this is 'food neophobia': the fear of new foods.Get creative with milk. Milk is a good source of protein, but not all kids are fans. ...Get cultured. Introduce your child to yogurt by making a sweet and colorful parfait. ...Shape up. ...Play the name game. ...Spread it on. ...Add more fish to her plate. ...Choose carbs carefully.
