To think my child's 'healthy' diet really isn't healthy?
My 13-month-old is relatively tall and slim (75th centile height; 55th centile weight) and is always on the go, like the average toddler!
I've tried really hard to give her a varied and healthy diet and she has a mammoth appetite, but the more I think about it the more I worry that her diet is actually not very good.
Here's a standard day's food for her:
Breakfast - 8oz bottle follow-on milk (doesn't like cow's milk!), half a banana and a handful of blueberries.
Lunch - Oven-cooked salmon with sweet potato and courgette; rice. Apricot, 125g plain yoghurt.
Snack - Melon and mango chunks. Another yoghurt.
Dinner - a scrambled egg with grated cheese, sweetcorn and tomato.
And as much water as she wants all day. She probably drinks about half a litre on warmer days.
I think her diet mght be too high in fruit sugar and too low in fat. And probably other bad things that I've not yet noticed! AIBU?
