Most toddlers only need small portions for lunch. A helpful starting point is about 1–2 tablespoons of each food per year of age, plus milk or water. Try packing a simple mix: fruit or veggies, a protein, a grain, and a fat. Many toddlers eat lightly at midday, so begin with small amounts and offer seconds if they’re still hungry.
