Fiber is good for keeping your Little One full without the extra calories and urges to overeat. Which means packing high fiber snacks for your kiddo can keep those little hands out of the cookie jar. Fiber also helps in digestion by helping foods pass through the body so that they don’t get constipated<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How much fiber should your toddler be getting on a daily basis? According to WebMD<\/a>, toddlers 1-3 years need about 19 grams of fiber per day and 4-8 year olds need about 25 grams per day.<\/p>\n

Foods with 3-5 grams per serving are considered high fiber foods. Next time you are out grocery shopping make sure to read the labels. You\u2019ll find fiber listed under carbohydrates.
