Hi moms,

I read the following article abt Toodler food size proportions in one of the baby site and thought it might be useful to some of u looking for the same.
Here it is...

From Babytalk, March 2002
Four servings of milk? Two servings of vegetables? Relax. When experts talk about toddler servings, they're talking about very small amounts. Here, in real-life terms, is what a typical tot needs a day:

MILK: 4 SERVINGS
A serving equals 1/2 cup of whole milk or 1/2 cup of full-fat yogurt or 1 1/2 ounces of cheese (approximately 1 inch square)

GRAINS: 6 SERVINGS
A serving equals 1/2 slice of bread or 1/4 cup cereal or 1/4 cup rice or paste or 3 crackers (approximately Saltine size)

FRUITS: 2 SERVINGS
A serving equals 1/4 fresh fruit, sliced or cubed, or 2 tablespoons pureed or 3 ounces of juice

VEGETABLES: 2 SERVINGS
A serving equals 1 to 2 tablespoons of well-cooked or pureed vegetables

PROTEIN: 2 SERVINGS
A serving equals 1 egg (cooked however your child will eat it) or 1 to 2 tablespoons of meat, fish or poultry or 1 to 2 tablespoons of legumes, including tofu and beans.

Bye
