Should I choose low fat foods for my toddler?

Remember your toddler is not a mini-adult and has different nutritional needs. As your toddler is growing very quickly and needs lots of energy, it’s not a good idea to choose low-fat/fat-free foods or to have them follow a low fat diet.
 
In saying that, some foods are high in fat but low in other nutrients, for example crisps, biscuits, cakes and pastries. Try to avoid giving your toddler these foods if possible or only occasionally give them as treats when they are a little bit older.
