Thank you for sharing! As a first time mama, I am trying hard to create a well rounded healthy diet for my little guy. So thankful for resources like your blog to help guide us along the journey!

Thanks for this. I have 2yr 10m twins who BOTH suffer with toddler diarrhea. We really want to potty train but have had several epic failed attempts as they can (sorry for TMI) poop (sloppy) on average 3-5 times a day (each) and i dont think they get much notice. Someone recommended increasing the fats in their food to try help so Im going to use some of these foods and pray! Wish me luck

Healthy fats are yummy! Love them! Unfortunately, my daughter suffers from multiple food allergies so she cannot have dairy, coconut or nuts. It’s been challenging to get enough healthy fats into her diet, but I do try to keep avocados in the house as well as evoo. She doesn’t care for sunflower seeds/butter, but I can sometimes sneak the sunflower butter into baked treats.

Great post Lindsay, and important topic. Although people are less fearful of fats than they were in the 80s and 90s I still see so many parents feeding their kids low-fat everything and afraid to give them healthy fats like avocado. Sharing this!

I love this! So important to understand that kids need fat especially healthy fat and omega-3 rich foods in their diets for development.

I think a lot of people still have the misconception that fat will make you fat and don’t realize how essential fat is to our well-being. In my opinion, a big part of this is because when people think of fat, they think or greasy fries or burgers, rather than nutritious options like peanut butter, avocado, or salmon. I’m really glad I’ve learned not be afraid to incorporate some fat into my diet because I definitely feel more satisfied now.

I really love this post! When I was an RD at WIC it was hard for parents to grasp the idea of feeding their children healthy fats-they heard fat and thought it will make their kids fat. It is also good for children having trouble gaining weight or in your case a child with constant hunger! Fat is important for children and adults all in moderation like you said. I will definitely be sharing this with my cousin with an 18 month old…just like all your other posts. 🙂
