I don’t get enough fiber in my diet. I try to eat more vegetables and whole grains. Due to a career change I am always on the go and I’m not always able to prepare a healthy meal for myself. I will sometimes grab a bag of chips or an unhealthy snack and go. Are there alternatives available to help a person get more fiber in their diet?

Two year old eats cheerios, crackers, yogurt (that we hide mashed fruit in), bread and potato wedges. She has done this for the past year. We have tried all the suggestions of our pediatrician. We have tried foods up to 30 or more times in a row. We have tried being tough like no cracker unless you try a piece of chicken etc. She has always been about the 50th percentile for weight on her growth curve but has fallen to the 44th recently. I would love to get more protein and vegetables into her and am looking for helpful advice. THanks.

I started weaning at about 5 months. He’s a big baby and was showing all the signs of needing more than milk .He is coming up to 6 months now.He has fruit purees,cereal and vegetables once or twice a day.Im still breastfeeding.I have read that at 6 months they need more iron etc.Are there any specific foods I should be introducing at the mo or should I try a follow on milk perhaps?

I have been blessed with a child who will eat just about anything, but raw veggies are still tough for her to chew. She gets vegetables at dinner when we eat as a family, but it is not enough. Her eating schedule is erratic, so I never know if she just wants a snack or a meal, hence why it is so hard to just give her jarred baby food. She likes to eat things she can pick up the best. Fruit is easy because there are all kinds of semi-soft fruit that you can cut up and let her feed herself. She doesn’t really like the diced jarred carrots or peas, though. Any suggestions?

I remember as a child I lived with my Grandma and she always ordered out for food, and I remember at one point I got tired of junk food, and I know how BAD it is for you. Every night I make a homecooked meal with two vegetables, and all my children ( except my 7 MYOB, ) eat two fruits a day, breakfast and after school… anyways, what does your childs diet consist of… do you have like a schedule?
