Being a baby is hungry work, which is why snacks play an important part in your child’s diet. Young children have much smaller stomachs than adults, so it’s crucial you give your child healthy snacks at regular intervals alongside her usual meals to meet her nutritional needs.

As well as helping to maintain energy levels and contributing to her daily nutritional intake, snacks are a vital opportunity to expose your child to even more tastes and texture, while also encouraging independent eating and motor skill development.
