Aside from having trips to the doctor to check your baby's health.. how can we moms know or check the nutritional status of our children? especially that toddlers are commonly picky eaters... Anyone?

observe your kid from head to toe... if you check a little closer you might actually see glaring signs... sparse, brittle hair, pale and dry skin, cracked lips, bleeding gums, tooth cavity and the list goes on. Those are just simple yet often neglected obvious signs that something essential in their diet might be missing.

You can use a tracker to monitor your child's growth. Plot your child's weight and height with the use of a growth chart. Then you can compare if your child's growth meets the normal range.

If you really want to make sure, you can set up an appointment with your nutritionist so you can get a n advise on what kind of diet is appropriate for your kid.

Use the food pyramid. Follow this to know that your child is properly nourished.

I googled the food pyramid and found that it is pretty easy to follow. The ones on the top of the pyramid should be eaten sparingly while the ones at the bottom are foods that should be eaten in quantities! I will try this so thanks Chloe!

Other signs of nutritional deficiency can be observed through their development. If your child is frequently behind milestones for his age then it could be because of poor diet.
