Thoughts offered on children's food

An Edinburgh nursery has produced a resource pack on feeding and diet issues for babies and young children. The 'Food for Tot' pack was launched by two-and-half-year-old Michael Cooney (pictured) and other children from Greengables Nursery School and Family Centre. The guide was produced with help from local health visitors and community dental health practitioners, after holding sessions for parents on how to provide good diets and nutrition for babies and children under three. The whole project was funded by Sure Start Edinburgh.

The pack is designed to be used with groups of parents and carers of babies and young children. Subjects include what to eat during pregnancy, how to wean babies and what makes a good family meal.
