Are you regularly faced with parents worried that their toddler is not eating enough? Or are you concerned about toddlers being moved on to family foods, when the family diet consists mainly of convenience foods that may be low in key nutrients and high in sugar, fat and salt? The Infant & Toddler Forum has launched a new online resource, the Tot It Up food calculator (see: www.littlepeoplesplates.co.uk/totup),to help healthcare professionals and parents assess and monitor toddlers'nutritional intake and identify where and how improvements can be made.
