3. How do I cultivate good snacking habits? You can cultivate good snacking habits by being a role model and setting a good example for your child by enjoying nutritious snacks such as fruits and vegetables; provide good ‘hands on’ experience with nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables through gardening, grocery shopping, and/or cooking and lastly, provide repeated exposures of nutritious food and educate your child what the food does for the body (for example, this will help you grow strong bones and teeth!)

thank you dietitian for respon 😊

Hi Miza, For a 6 month old baby, we encourage parents to introduce a variety of foods to ensure that all nutrient needs are met. meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products should be given frequently :) when introducing food, single-ingredient foods should be introduced first. you may start with infant cereals/rice porridge and puréed meats - they should be offered first because they provide iron and zinc. once these foods are accepted, strained or puréed fruits and vegetables may be added… additionally, do try to ensure at least 1 feeding per day contains foods rich in vitamin C to promote iron absorption. not forgetting, we want to avoid sugar and salt(sodium) as best as we can too. as for your 1 year old nephew, it is common for 1 year olds to eat less as their growth rate and appetite decreases after the first birthday. rest assured, children generally can self-regulate their food intake. he is likely eating the amount his body needs. children at this age have increase

Hi Aqila, For toddlers, we suggest 1-2 nutritious snacks a day. There are many healthy snacks you can include such as fresh fruit and vegetables, low sodium cheese, whole-grain crackers or wholemeal/wholewheat bread, sandwiches, unsweetened and unsalted peanut butter, and full-fat plain yogurt :) We encourage parents to space out the meals and snacks to at least 2-3 hours apart, as this allows your child time to feel hungry and would not affect their appetite for daily meals. Parents' role is to provide a range of nutritious foods for meals and snacks, but your child should be allowed to decide how much food to eat and if they want to eat the particular meal or snack. This is because children generally can self-regulate their food intake. It is alright if she eats less during the main meals, as the snack time contributes to her overall food intake for that day too. Rest assured, she is self-regulating her food intake and knows best when she is hungry and when she is full :)

Terima kasih Green Wellness dan Dietitian Jowyna

Hi Pn Dayyah, kami ialah Green Wellness pengimport snek berkhasiat yang halal daripada Korea.

Kedua-dua jenis snek ini bukan sahaja lazat, malah rendah kalori, bebas bahan kimia dan pengawet. Orang dewasa juga sukakannya ! Kesemua snek Ddoddomam adalah dibakar dan bukan digoreng. Jika berminat mengetahui lebih lanjut, puan boleh mengunjungi laman web kami https://www.greenwellness.my/search?q=ddoddomam . Terima kasih !

Additionally, if offering fruit juice, it should only be offered as part of a meal or snack and not to be sipped throughout the day and it should not be consumed at bedtime or in bed too.
