Lists of nutritious food for different age group.

I try to make it a weekly routine to bring my kids to the library and always seize the opportunity to grab some recipe books especially for kids. I will then browse through and select those I like or worth trying. Next I scan them and store in my laptop so that I don't have to worry when the book is due for return. With almost 30 recipes in a book at least, you won't be able to try out each of them. By scanning it allows flexibility for us to explore them better.

The following are lists of nutritious food suitable for varous age group. From Infant to Primary Schooler. I got these lists from one of the library book I borrowed. Title of the book is Nutritious Chinese Food for INFANTS, CHILDREN & YOUTH by Ng Siong Mui.
