As a Mom, staying healthy is hard to do. Ask Tinyhood's Registered Dietitian, Janel F., how you can make sure you are getting the right nutrition everyday.
Hi there, I know this was nutrition for moms but there hasn’t been a place I could ask about my son. He’s 11 months and refusing formula. He may drink close to 17-18oz a day that is all. He eats three meals, has water, and has 2 snacks. He just has no taste for it. Is that fine? I’m worried he isn’t getting enough calories or fluid. Any advise?

It sounds great! And it makes sense that he's drinking less formula as he's eating more food - his tiny tummy can only take so much food at a time! Especially now that he's eating regular meals and snacks, try to sit down as a family as much as possible if you're not already and eat together, ideally the same foods! You mentioned he eats better than you do, but one of the best ways to continue healthy eating habits in children is to role model what healthy, balanced, varied eating looks like. Family food, where you're all enjoying the same meal together, is such a special way to bond and role model over food. Enjoy! |

Megha Yes! Well, I was being sarcastic! We all eat super healthy, and eat dinner together most days. He and I have breakfast together at the table - usually eating the same things :) |

Oh good! That's so great you're already eating together. No wonder he's such a good eater! |
