Eating together as a family often helps little ones make better food choices and feel more connected at the end of a busy day. Invite your child to help you in the kitchen by washing produce, setting the table, or being a "taste tester". Aim to eat together a few times a week if you can! If you have questions, reach out to your WIC nutritionist. https://www.healthychildren.org/English/family-life/family-dynamics/Pages/family-meals-eat-together-thrive-together.aspx

The best beverage options for your toddler and preschooler are water and milk! Plain water provides necessary hydration throughout the day while cow's milk provides nutrients and vitamins like calcium, Vitamin D & A, protein, and zinc. If your child struggles with a dairy intolerance or allergy, reach out to your WIC nutritionist so they can help you make sure your child gets enough nutrients through food or a plant-based milk. What are your go-to beverage options for your little ones? Share in the comments! https://ow.ly/9VQC50WM2K9
