“I am interested in asking fellow Mums if they know of a website or book that I can access that gives up to date, easy to read tips on food groups and how much of everything a child needs to be healthy (preferably a daily guide). I have a 3 ½ year old and a 20 month old and while I think I am feeding them well, limiting sugar and processed food where I can, I get frustrated by not knowing exactly how much of everything they need to meet their nutritional needs. I found a calcium chart on a government website and learned they need a cup of milk, a piece of cheese and some yoghurt each day which was great as it was simple and easy to follow. You can also pick up tips from different websites and other sources but it can all get confusing (especially when opinions from the sources differ) and I would love to know if there is one source I could refer to that other Mums would recommend as a starting point. Is there one source mums can go to for nutritional info?
