    FOOD PYRAMID

    AGE 1-6

    Recommended Body Weight and Weight Height Charts

    Children are around 2.5 to 3 kg, during birth, which is quite normal. Kids in the age of two years should be of 12.3 kgs
    and height 85.6cm (boys) and 11.8 kg with a height of 84.5 cm in girls. These height and weight indicators also vary
    with respect to genes and nutrition. This is the right age to introduce new foods. Broaden the palate of the child by
    introducing a food on a fortnightly basis. Food preferences form a basis, as early as two years. Hence, care is essential
    while feeding them. Their appetite is less, as the tummy size is small. Avoid empty calories, such as sweets and opt for
    energy dense foods. Self feeding is possible at this age, as they explore the kitchen and experiment by licking.
    Offer a variety of foods, so as to increase the nutrients from each food group. Milk is of great importance for a toddler.
    Use of skimmed milk, is recommended for kids, after two years. Cut the use of bottles and go in for cups or sippers.
    Watch the iron intake of kids, when they are a year old. Keep your child’s intake of milk to 16 to 24 ounces .
