AnswerToddlers can get all the nutrition they need by eating the same meals as the rest of the family, but the you should keep your specific toddler's needs in mind when preparing his/her food. You may need to make adjustments to create a more toddler friendly meal such as, smaller portions, cutting larger food into bite size pieces, and including some finger friendly foods while he/she is still mastering the use of a fork and spoon.
