Bad eating habits are plaguing infants and toddlers. Read about what you can do to make sure your child eats well.



Babies who eat cereal before four months or after seven months are four times more likely to develop type 1 diabetes than those who start on cereal during months four through six, reports a recent study from the Journal of the American Medical Association. So, follow guidelines and introduce your baby to cereal foods during the fourth, fifth and sixth months. For more information, ask your pediatrician or visit aafp.org.
