At this important stage when Henry* is starting to get about and explore, a well-balanced, healthy diet is really important. Henry* will also be growing at an incredible rate, so to develop healthily he'll need all the nourishment he can get. A balanced diet with all the main food groups will provide the goodness he needs, and you can also give him a fortified growing-up milk, which will give him a good serving of iron and other vitamin and minerals.

hi ya
when my son started walking i didnt change a thing as i percieved his meal plan to be very well balanced with meat fish etc but did find that he needed snacks in between meals which id never given before so hed have breakfast at 8am then snack at 10am then lunch at 12pm hope that helps

I made sure that my little boy was getting a well balanced diet through these important stages (and still do!).He does have snacks of naughty things like crisps but I make sure he also gets plenty of fruit and veg.

my advice would be to give a little extra on the plate, if there is some left you know he is getting enough, everytime that bits is eatin add a bit more the next meal, this way you know he is always full!

my daughter was walking from 10 months and i didnt change anything really i noticed she wanted more food and abit more milk and juice as she was more active

As long as your sons diet is varied, and balanced, he should not need additives. More likely slightly bigger portions of what he already has may be more appropriate.

my daughter is 17months old and only just started walking all i have done diffrent is increase the amount of food offered, and offered healthy snacks,ie..carrot sticks,, cucumber,celery sticks, inbetween meals.

Now he's walking you should make him eat shoes!11one!111!!!
