He may eat a lot one day and little the next. Give your child at least 3 meals and 1 or 2 snacks a day. Serve small amounts. Let him have more if he is still hungry. Studies show that children usually eat what they need as long as they are offered healthy choices.<\/p>\n<p>If you think your child is eating too much or too little, do not put him on a diet.

Limit milk to 2 to 3 cups (16 to 24 ounces) a day.<\/li>\n<li>Over age 2, low-fat milk is healthier. Limit milk to 2 cups (16 ounces) a day.<\/li>\n<li>Serve real fruit instead of juice when you can. Limit juice to \u00bd cup a day (4 ounces).<\/li>\n<li>Limit high-sugar foods like cookies, candy and sodas. They cause tooth decay, and they can make your child overweight.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your toddler eats foods high in iron. Many small children have low iron (anemia). There is iron in meat, fish, poultry, beans, leafy green vegetables, whole grains and enriched breads and cereals.<\/li>\n<li>If you need food for your child, contact\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.azdhs.gov\/azwic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WIC<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/211arizona.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arizona 2-1-1<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>To Prevent Choking<\/h3>\n<p>Like babies, toddlers can easily choke. Here are some ways to prevent choking:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have your child sit down to eat.<\/li>\n<li>Watch her while she eats. If she chokes, she cannot make noise to let you know.<\/li>\n<li>Cut food into small pieces. Remove bones, seeds and pits.<\/li>\n<li>Cut grapes and hot dogs into small strips.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid tough foods like large pieces of meat or dried fruit.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid hard foods like raw carrots, nuts and popcorn.<\/li>\n<li>Take a first aid class so you know what to do if your child chokes.
