I don't give much advice to other parents – experience has taught me that every child is different, and what works for one may well not suit another. One thing I am passionate about though, is encouraging young children to be adventurous with flavour. Give them things you don't think they will like and you may be surprised! My daughter loves sardines, spinach, dark chocolate, tomato and chilli soup, Indian food – the list could go on.
Sardines are brilliant for dairy-intolerant little ones as they are very high in calcium, and packed with omega-3 fatty acids. My daughter LOVES this recipe from the brilliant Chocolate & Zucchini blog, for tomato and sardine pasta with cumin. It's cheap, quick and tasty.
I've even come up with a couple of recipes of my own over the past year (since I started getting more sleep!) and will post them soon.
