Food Timetable For Nigerian Children Ages 1-4

Many Nigerian parents often wonder what to feed their young children during the school term. This food timetable summarizes some of the meals you can make for your child during the preschool years. Ideally at this stage your child should be eating the same foods as the rest of the family, with an emphasis on those with nutritional value. This includes fresh vegetables and fruits, dairy products (milk, yoghurt, cheese), lean meats (chicken, turkey, fish, beef), egg and whole grain cereals and bread.
