Bananas are a fantastic ingredient in toddler cooking, as they are a healthy way of sweetening any recipe without adding refined sugar. Mashed banana can also be used in place of butter or oil to keep cakes and muffins moist.
Don't force a toddler to eat a meal or snack if they aren't hungry. This could cause them to associate meal times with anxiety and negativity. A toddler will not let themselves starve if they are being regularly offered healthy nutritious foods. If you are concerned that your toddler is not eating enough, discuss it with your GP.
