Toddlers are curious eaters—but also the most vulnerable when it comes to nutrition. At this stage, food choices directly influence growth, digestion, immunity, and taste development.
Yet many toddlers are introduced early to biscuits, rusks, and snacks made from refined flour and sugar—often unknowingly.
This blog explains why switching to healthy cookies for toddlers is one of the smartest nutrition decisions parents can make.
Why Toddler Nutrition Needs Special Care
Toddlers:
- Have rapidly developing brains and bodies
- Need high nutrient density in small portions
- Are sensitive to sugar and additives
What they eat now shapes:
- Bone strength
- Digestive health
- Immunity
- Long-term food preferences
The Problem with Common Toddler Snacks
Many toddler snacks contain:
- Refined flour
- Added sugar or syrups
- Artificial flavors
- Low fiber
These can cause:
- Digestive issues
- Poor appetite
- Sugar dependency
- Nutrient deficiencies
Why Healthy Cookies Work for Toddlers
- Are easy to chew and digest
- Feel like a treat
- Can deliver nutrients discreetly
When made with millets and pulses, they provide:
- Complex carbs for energy
- Protein for growth
- Calcium and iron for development
Why Millets Are Ideal for Toddlers
Millets are:
- Naturally gluten-free
- Gentle on digestion
- Rich in minerals
- Traditionally used in Indian weaning foods
Ragi supports bone development, while rice and jowar are easy to digest.
