Infant and Toddler Forum launches new factsheet on toddler portion sizes Oct 2011

The Infant & Toddler Forum have recently published a new resource for health professionals providing guidance and suitable portion sizes for infants and young children.  

The resource has been developed for healthcare professionals to use with parents and carers.  The factsheet presents a very practical approach to the subject, giving pictorial versions of appropriate portion sizes ideal when discussing portion size with parents and carers.  

There has previously been little practical information  on portion sizes for this age group. The BSNA welcomes the factsheet as a very credible and useful resource for health professionals helping families to choose a suitable diet for their infants. 

BSNA members are committed to producing complementary foods for toddlers that are nutritionally balanced in line with the strict legislation in this area, and appropriately portioned. 

The Infant & Toddler Forum factsheet on portion sizes can be found here.
