I have a son that is 21 months old, and when I want to give him balanced meals, I give him Little Entre’s they are little balanced meals that are perfectly sized for a toddlers tummy. Also, they are really easy for them to feed themselves. I also give him snacks that are like big pieces of cereal and shaped like waggon wheels, they come in vegetable and fruit flavors, and are really good for them. You can find these things in the baby food isle at most stores. Another good thing is that the little meals take only thirty seconds to prepare, and they love them. I hope that this helped.
Have fun,
Michelle
