With your two-year-old's blossoming language and social skills, they're ready to become an active mealtime participant. They should no longer be drinking from a bottle, and can eat the same food as the rest of the family. Their diet should now include three healthy meals a day, plus one or two snacks.

Here are some tips to help your little one develop healthy, safe eating habits and get the nutrition their growing bodies need.

Mealtime tips for toddlers

  • Try not to fixate on amounts of food they are eating.

  • Avoid making mealtimes a battle.

  • Pay attention to adopting healthy eating habits—including sitting as a family at mealtime.

  • Focus on making healthy food choices as a family.

Unsafe foods for toddlers: choking risks


At two years old, your child should be able to use a spoon, drink from a cup with just one hand, and feed themselves a wide variety of finger foods. However, they are still learning to chew and swallow efficiently and may gulp food down when in a hurry to get on with playing. For that reason, the risk of choking at this age is high.

Avoid these foods, which could be swallowed whole and block the windpipe:


  • Hot dogs (unless cut in quarters lengthwise before being sliced)

  • Chunks of peanut butter (Peanut butter may be spread thinly on bread or a cracker, but never give chunks of peanut butter to a toddler.)

  • Nuts—especially peanuts

  • Raw cherries with pits

  • Round, hard candies—including jelly beans

  • Gum

  • Whole grapes

  • Marshmallows

  • Raw carrots, celery, green beans

  • Popcorn

  • Seeds—such as processed pumpkin or sunflower seeds

  • Whole grapes, cherry tomatoes (cut them in quarters)

  • Large chunks of any food such as meat, potatoes, or raw vegetables and fruits

The best foods for toddlers include:

  • Protein foods like meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, nuts, seeds and soy

  • Dairy such as milk, yogurt, cheese or calcium-fortified soymilk

  • Fruits and vegetables

  • Grains such as whole wheat bread and oatmeal

It is normal for toddlers to choose from a limited number of foods, reject foods entirely, and then change their preferences over time. Never force your child to eat something they do not want to eat. The best approach is to let your child to choose from 2 to 3 healthy options, and continue to offer new foods as their tastes change.

Offering a variety of foods and leaving the choices up to your child will eventually allow them to eat a balanced diet on their own. Toddlers also like to feed themselves. So, whenever possible, offer your child finger foods instead of cooked ones that require a fork or spoon to eat.

Supplements for some children

Vitamin supplements are rarely necessary for toddlers who eat a varied diet, with a few exceptions.

Vitamin D. Infants under 12 months of age require 400 International Units (IU) of vitamin D per day and older children and adolescents require 600 IU per day. This amount of vitamin D can prevent rickets—a condition characterized by the softening and weakening of bones. If your child is not regularly exposed to sunlight or is consuming enough vitamin D in their diet, talk to your pediatrician about a vitamin D supplement. See Vitamin D for Babies, Children & Adolescents for more information and a list of vitamin D-enriched foods.

Iron. Supplemental iron may be needed if your child eats very little meat, iron-fortified cereal, or vegetables rich in iron. Large quantities of milk (more than 32 ounces [960 mL] per day) also may interfere with the proper absorption of iron, increasing the risk of iron deficiency anemia.

Calcium. Your child should drink 16 ounces (480 mL) of low-fat or nonfat milk each day. This will provide most of the calcium they need for bone growth and still not interfere with their appetite for other foods—particularly those that provide iron.

Note: Children stay on whole milk until they are two years of age—unless there is a reason to switch a baby to low-fat milk sooner. Whole milk contains approximately 4% milk fat. It may help to gradually switch your child from whole milk to a lower-fat milk. Therefore, many pediatricians recommend that children get reduced fat (2%) milk for a few weeks before switching them to low fat (1%) or no fat (skim) milk.

Easy Feeding Guide: What Two -Year-Olds Eat

Inside: What do two year olds eat? Here’s an easy guide that explains what two-year-olds need to eat and how to feed them. You’ll leave with a good understanding of what and how to feed your toddler!

When my son turned two, his feeding took a turn for the “I don’t want to eat it.” As a dietitian, you can imagine, I had some feelings about that. Feeding toddlers can be so tricky and I want to help walk you through what two-year-olds eat so that you can feel confident!

It may feel overwhelming to be feeding a two-year-old (at least pat yourself on the back, you made it through feeding a one-year-old!), so I’ve put together this easy feeding guide to walk you through the process.

How Two-Year-Olds Eat

Two-year-olds are so great! Playing, learning, and so curious about the world, they want to learn to do everything by themselves. I know it has it’s inconveniences, but it’s great for us in the feeding department. We can help them use their desire to do things by themselves to help two-year-olds eat better!

Two-year-olds can pick up small things and big things with their hands, and they may be extremely interested in using utensils. They may want to use big person utensils so they can be just like you! That’s great! We want them to eat, they want to use the utensils, perfect!

By now, toddlers need to be eating primarily table food – solid food that the family is eating (with choking hazards removed). Foods like pouches, purees, puffs, “baby foods,” etc. aren’t around very much, if at all.

If your toddler isn’t eating much, that’s okay. It’s normal for the amount of food they eat to vary from day-to-day. Often two-year-old picky eaters start to emerge because of a new fear of foods and a greater ability to discern bitter flavors.

What balanced meals do two-year-olds eat?

Toddlers are notorious for eating like birds one day and packing food down the next day. Toddlers may start eating much less food than they did when they were babies, and they still have small stomachs. Plus, they may start displaying more picky eating that you saw in the past. All of these things make it really important to come up with meals that are balanced and have a lot of nutrients.

I’m sure, however, that you know all the “problems” that arise when feeding toddlers. I’ll share a basic meal formula with you that will make it easier to feed your toddler through all the toddler things:
Protein food + fat source + fruit and/or veggie + energy food = balanced meal

Let’s get into each of these.

Protein foods that your two-year-old can eat (when cooked soft)

Protein comes in more than just meat. There are lots of protein foods that your two-year-old may be able to eat. Make sure they are cooked soft and diced, or served in safe ways.

  • Dairy: milk, cheese, yogurt
  • Tofu
  • Lentils
  • Hummus
  • Lamb
  • Pork
  • Beef
  • Meatballs
  • Eggs
  • Chicken
  • Fish
  • Peanut butter or nut/seed butters (spread on a cracker or bread, or mixed into something)
  • Ground up nuts or seeds mixed into other foods like yogurt or applesauce
  • Beans

Serve a protein food at every meal and snack. This trick and having a toddler feeding schedule, can help toddlers not ask for snacks every 10 minutes!

Fat sources for your two-year-old

Toddlers need fat for their brain development and for energy. We can serve foods that already have fat in them like meat or dairy, or we can add fat to our cooking and serving. Here are some great sources of fat for two-year-olds.

  • Avocado oil
  • Avocado
  • Full-fat dairy: milk, cheese, yogurt
  • Nut and seed butters (spread on crackers or bread, or mixed into other foods)
  • Fatty fish (salmon, sardines)
  • Ghee
  • Butter
  • Coconut oil

Fruits and veggies for two-year-olds

Your two-year-old can eat any fruits and veggies that you serve with your own meals and snacks, as long as they are prepped in a safe way. The more the merrier! The more often your toddler sees fruits and veggies, the higher the chance they will try it and start eating it. Serving a green and an orange veggie daily helps them get enough vitamin A and other important vitamins and minerals. Here’s a short list of green and orange veggies to focus on:

  • Carrots (served cooked soft, or shredded)
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Pumpkin
  • Broccoli
  • Cooked greens

Other fruits and veggies like bell peppers, oranges, strawberries, and kiwi fruit help your child get the vitamin C they need to absorb iron into their body.

If you can, add a fruit and/or veggie at every meal and snack. Adding color helps them get the nutrients they need and helps keep them familiar with veggies and fruits.

Energy foods for two-year-olds

Two-year-olds need lots of energy! That’s why we need to provide plenty of energy foods like whole grains, starchy veggies, and fruit. It’s easy to find yourself in a constant cracker cycle with toddlers (goldfish tantrums, anyone?). Crackers are fun, for sure, but variety is the best. So, see how many different foods you can serve for energy each week.

Here are some nutrient-dense foods that may be good to add in to what you serve:

  • Oats (cooked)
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Quinoa
  • Beans/peas/lentils
  • White potatoes
  • Bread
  • Dried fruit that has been cut into small pieces, cooked and softened, or cooked into things
  • Homemade muffins

Prevent choking when deciding what to serve your two-year-old

When deciding what your two-year-old will eat, make sure that you are not serving any choking hazards.

Here are some common choking hazards:

  • Tough meat
  • Chunks of nut butters
  • Hot dogs and sausages
  • Chunks of cheese
  • Gum
  • Hard candy, chewy candy
  • Raw veggies
  • Marshmallows
  • Whole grapes and cherry tomatoes
  • Popcorn
  • Whole nuts and seeds

To prevent choking:

  • Modify – soften or dice
  • Sit – make sure your child is sitting in a chair while eating
  • Avoid some foods that cannot be modified
  • Be prepared if something does happen

What do two-year-olds eat?

Here is a sample menu for the foods that could be served to your two-year-old. I have NOT included portion sizes! What? Am I crazy? Because, yes, that is the most common question I get about feeding toddlers. The thing is, the most important thing about feeding toddlers is learning that it’s their job to decide how much to eat! (Note: This is part of the Division of Responsibility in feeding. Read to learn more!)

Start with small portions, about 1-2 tablespoons of each type of food on their tray or plate. They will let you know if they want more of a specific type of food. They won’t eat what they don’t want to eat.

Breakfast: Fruit smoothie with a piece of toast and peanut butter

Morning Snack: thinly sliced cheese and apples

Lunch: Leftover spaghetti and meatballs with broccoli

Afternoon Snack: homemade muffin, milk, and strawberries

Dinner: deconstructed tacos with beans, chopped lettuce, tomatoes, ground meat, shredded cabbage, and other toppings

2 year old child's menu with recipes

Menu author: Natalia Dik — pediatrician. She graduated from the Chelyabinsk Medical Academy, clinical internship and residency, specialty pediatrics. She has been working in her specialty since 2007, from 2005-2008 she has been the head of the Allergy Department of the City Clinical Hospital No. 1 of Chelyabinsk, since 2008 she has been a specialist in clinical trials of drugs. She enjoys cooking and practices the Menu of the Week system in her daily life.

By the age of two, most babies are able to eat many foods and dishes on their own, there is no need to grind food in a blender or knead with a fork. Rejoicing at such changes, some parents want to give the baby to try more new dishes. Some, on the contrary, are afraid to introduce something new, and they are in no hurry to transfer it to the general table. There is some common sense in both approaches. Although the digestive system of a two-year-old baby is already much more mature compared to a one-year-old, nevertheless, it is not yet strong enough. Therefore transition to adult food should be gradual .

The sample menu for week below is suitable not only for feeding a two-year-old child, but also for the whole family.

Do not worry if one of the days the child has not eaten all the dishes you have prepared. Our ideas about how much a two-year-old baby should eat often differ from reality in the direction of overestimation. In addition, children may have their own characteristics and preferences. Everything new is best offered in small portions. Often, babies carefully try unfamiliar or otherwise prepared foods, but if they are offered the same dish next time, they can eat it with pleasure.

Chocolate and chocolates should be avoided as they stimulate the nervous system of children, often cause allergies and can cause constipation.

Menu for a child at 2 years old, daily routine and best recipes

› ›

Your baby is 2 years old. He can run and jump, kick a ball, build towers with blocks, cut with scissors, even walk backwards. You want to be the best mom and do more for him, like creating the perfect menu.

The daily routine of a 2-year-old fidget is changing.

  • You get up at 7. 30 and do exercises with your baby.
  • At 7.45 rush to the bathroom.
  • Breakfast is on the table at 8 o'clock.
  • From 8.30 to 11.30 you play or go for a walk.
  • At 12 o'clock it's time for lunch.
  • From 12.30 to 15.30 the baby sleeps.
  • At 15.45 you are hardening.
  • At 16:00 – a light snack (afternoon snack).
  • From 16.30 to 19.00 you walk and play again.
  • 19.30 – dinner time.
  • At 20.30 - evening swimming.
  • At 21.00 the baby goes to bed.

But this is the ideal daily routine. You do not have a nanny and a cook? Does your grandmother work or live far away? And do you go to the grocery store? There is so much to cram into those 30 minutes between class and outing with your child!

By the age of two, children can eat from the “common table”. A two-year-old toddler, as a rule, already has 20 teeth that are capable of chewing small pieces of food. And you don’t need to wipe the food, as before.

What is the "common table" in your family? Does it really meet all the requirements? To simplify your life, it is advisable to transfer all family members to proper nutrition - healthy and balanced. Finding the right food isn't hard at all. And everyone will win.

  • Superfoods

    • Basic principles

    1. We cook, bake, stew, but do not fry.
    2. Maximum number of vegetables and fruits.
    3. Porridges from affordable and favorite cereals every day.
    4. Only freshly prepared food.
    5. We try not to mix proteins and carbohydrates.
    6. We drink a lot of clean water.

    Strategic planning

    It is advisable for the whole family to make a weekly meal plan with recipes. You will get more bonuses if the children tell you what they want to see on their plate. Write a shopping list for the week together and go shopping together. Resist the temptation to buy chips, sugary drinks, smoked sausage. A joint meal plan will help optimize purchases, teach children not to buy fast food. At the same time, you will not forget anything and, perhaps, even save on excesses.

    Vitamins for a child 2 years old.

    What to include in the list?

    Feeding the baby is a priority in the family, so you should be guided by the recommendations for a 2-year-old:

    • four meals a day for children during the day;
    • hot meals at any meal;
    • breakfast and dinner are 20-25% of the daily allowance, lunch - 40%, afternoon tea - 10%;
    • A 2-year-old baby needs 1200-1400 g of food per day or 1000-1400 kcal: 1.5 cups of vegetables, 1 cup of fruit, 2 cups of dairy products, 50 g of protein food, 110 g of cereals, 4 tsp. any oil;
    • the optimal ratio of fats, proteins and carbohydrates for children is 1:1:4;
    • children's menu should be varied, recipes should be interesting;
    • if the child eats “like a sparrow”, we increase the calorie content of meals, or we feed often, but little by little throughout the day.

    Sample menu for the day

    1. We plan a simple meal for breakfast: an omelette or porridge. Oatmeal is quick to prepare, if you simply pour boiling water over it, cover with a towel, let it brew for a few minutes and add a piece of butter. Buckwheat and millet porridge are also a good solution.
    2. For lunch - a simple vegetable soup or borscht. For children, it is better to boil it in water or diluted broth. Delicious and nutritious soups. The set of vegetables in them can be different: zucchini, pumpkin, potatoes, white cabbage, broccoli, carrots. Boiled meat, stewed or baked fish, vegetables, salad also fit into the concept of a healthy diet. If there is pasta on the menu, try to do without meat and fish. Dessert and drinks of your choice.
    3. Fruit, jelly with a slice of whole grain bread, kefir or fermented baked milk are suitable for a children's afternoon snack.
    4. Make dinner easy: casserole, lazy dumplings, steamed cheesecakes, vegetable stew, boiled meat or a piece of steamed fish (the last two menu items are appropriate if the norm of protein products has not been exhausted during the day).

    How old can an omelette be for a child.

    Some 2 year olds are accustomed to drinking milk before bed. Modern research warns that feeding cow's milk before the age of 3 years can cause calcium deficiency in the body and provoke an increase in nervous excitability. Therefore, it is better to exclude it from the diet. Replace milk with milk formula, or rather, with water, gradually reducing the amount. There will come a time when the baby will get used to falling asleep without a bottle.

    Forget about sausages, sandwiches, cereals covered in milk or yogurt, and try to train yourself to cook quick, tasty and healthy breakfasts for the whole family.

    Breakfast recipes

    • Add sliced ​​banana and a little oil to the prepared oatmeal. So much tastier!
    • Layer the cheese slices on the bottom of the pan. Add chopped tomatoes on top. Mix eggs with water and pour over cheese and tomatoes. Place the skillet in the oven for 5 minutes. Nutritious omelette is ready!
    • For syrniki you will need: a pack of cottage cheese, two eggs, salt and half a glass of flour. Stir, gradually adding flour. Form cheesecakes, place in a pan and put in the oven for 5-7 minutes. Steaming this dish is even better. Put warm cheesecakes and sour cream whipped with berries on the table.
    • Wrap an omelet of several eggs in pita bread with your favorite vegetables.

    Delicious ideas

    We are used to having soup for lunch and then the main course. And another compote. Aren't you tired of cooking them seven times a week? Let's dream up and invite the baby to dinner with the count.

    Noble sandwiches

    1. Cut about a glass of vegetables with chopsticks.
    2. Place steamed crispy broccoli on a separate pretty plate (choose the prettiest floret).
    3. 30 g boiled turkey, chicken or beef cut into thin slices and make sandwiches on the thinnest slices of bread.

    Set the table like a holiday and then tell the story of the mysterious count who shared his best recipes with you.

    Salads in tins

    1. Dinner food can be put into colorful baking dishes or ice cube trays.
    2. Let your 2 year old cut lettuce, kale or spinach, boiled carrots, pears or apples, and cut avocado flesh with a non-sharp knife.
    3. Put colorful vegetables, pieces of meat, sprigs of greens in each mold or cell of the tray.

    By involving children in cooking, you instill healthy eating habits and teach how to set the dinner table. In addition, everyone knows that there are no tastier dishes than those prepared by oneself.

    Young parents feel the burden of responsibility for each feeding: what, how much and at what time the child ate. And if the beloved child did not manage to eat everything? Don't be dramatic. Relieve pressure on the baby. You can not force feed: he has the right to decide for himself. You have prepared delicious and healthy dishes from fresh ingredients. Just enjoy the food together.

    Evening menu

    Evening menu for a 2-year-old child may include:

    • sea fish, if there were no meat dishes for lunch;
    • lean meat, if the baby loves it very much and did not eat it during the day;
    • vegetables that can be given throughout the day;
    • fruits - raw and baked;
    • fermented milk products;
    • cereals;
    • casseroles;
    • eggs on their own or as part of light meals.

    Dinner time can be shortened by learning simple recipes.
