A balanced vegetarian diet for toddlers

Creating a Balanced Vegetarian Diet
If your family is vegetarian, you need to be careful to serve balanced meals. Toddlers need lots of nutrients for their busy, growing bodies, and unless you take special precautions, your child may not get enough of the following:
Minerals
B vitamins
Iron
Calcium (in the case of a vegan diet)
Consult With Your Healthcare Provider
Egg yolks and dark green vegetables are good sources of iron, and whole grains offer B vitamins. Also, children need much more fat in their diet: 30 to 50 per cent of their total calories than older children and adults. To make sure that your child is getting everything he needs, you might want to consult a nutritionist. Your healthcare provider can probably suggest one.
