Parents and Kids
From infancy to school days and beyond
While we think it's important for everyone to make smart food choices, we know that parents and kids often need some extra support. That's why we created this special section, just for you. From pregnancy and infancy to school days and beyond, we've pulled together an assortment of tips and advice to help you and your family.
Nutrition for Kids & Teens
Kids have different nutritional needs at different times in their lives. These tips will help guide you through some of the milestones.
Building Blocks for Good Nutrition
Who’s the health food know-it-all in your house? Perhaps it’s the child who read the latest edition health textbook—or maybe the parent who reads up on recent medical research studies. If nobody in your family does either of these things, don’t fret, we’re here to help.
Breaking for Breakfast
Skipping breakfast — how bad can it be, really? Pretty bad ... for real.
Build a Nutrition-Packed Breakfast
A nutritious breakfast (not to mention lunch, snacks and dinner) is important for everyone no matter their age, but it is especially critical for children and teenagers.
Fix a Fun and Healthy Lunch
A kid-friendly lunch doesn't have to mean a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Not only can dishes such as fruit kabobs, pizza quesadillas and noodle bowls be just as easy to make as a sandwich, you may be surprised to discover how popular and kid-friendly such healthy choices are.
Create Tempting Snacks
For energetic, on-the-move kids, snacks are just as important as meals. They provide another opportunity to pack nutrition into a child's day, and they help maintain a child's seemingly endless desire and energy to explore their world.
Make Dinnertime Dynamic
The final meal of the day is about much more than rounding out your nutritional requirements. It's a time when families come back together, regroup, catch up and talk about their day.
Nutrition for Toddlers
During the second year of life, baby’s gastronomic options have finally broadened to include all the fun stuff. You may feel exhilarated by the idea of introducing exotic tastes or special family recipes.
Natural Choices for Baby
Once parental instincts kick in, everything surrounding your baby goes under the microscope—and for good reason!
Nutrition for Infants
When the time comes to introduce first foods, your baby's palate is a blank slate and his nutritional future is in your hands. No pressure!
Nutrition for Pregnant & Nursing Moms
So much to eat, so little time! With all the excitement, exhaustion and long lists of to-dos, many expectant and nursing moms wonder how they will ever manage to work in all the extra meals, calories and nutrients recommended by the experts.
