    Low fat diet for toddlers

    My toddler has started having solid foods now. He is quite a chubby baby. Now that he has started on solids, I am thinking of giving him low fat diet. Should I give him?

    No, for a toddler healthy diet is one which has everything but for adults it is the one which is low in fat. Fat is an important source of energy in a child's diet. If total fat intake is low, it can be difficult to ensure that energy (calorie) intake is adequate for healthy growth and development.So please do not give your toddler a low fat diet.

    Fat is an important source of essential fatty acids and of fat-soluble vitamins A and D. Essential fatty acids are necessary for growth and for keeping the skin in healthy condition. Your toddler should have full-fat milk, cheese and other dairy products for proper growth and development.
