Following Canada’s Food Guide can help you get the nutrients you and your baby need during pregnancy. Try to eat a variety of foods you enjoy every day, including: 

• Vegetables and fruits 
• Whole grains 
• Protein foods 

In your second and third trimesters, aim to add an extra snack or small meal based on your hunger to support your growing baby. 

If you are pregnant or might become pregnant, Health Canada recommends taking a daily multivitamin with 0.4 mg of folic acid and 16–20 mg of iron. Ask a healthcare professional to help you pick the right one. 

For additional information on eating during pregnancy, visit:

Breastmilk gives your baby all the nutrients they need for their first six months. 

Health Canada also recommends giving all breastfed or partially breastfed babies a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU from birth until two years old. You can buy vitamin D drops at a pharmacy or some grocery stores without a prescription. Always follow the instructions on the label. 

For more information on feeding your baby, read our information on breastfeeding and formula. Learn more about feeding your baby in the first year (PDF).

Introduction of solid foods 

Introducing foods to your baby is an exciting time. Choosing safe, age-appropriate first foods, using varied textures and tastes are all very important.

Around 6 months, your baby may be ready to start eating solid foods. Watch for these signs: 

• Can hold their head up well while sitting 
• Can sit in a highchair and lean forward 
• Opens their mouth when offered food 
• Can pick up food and bring it to their mouth 
• Can show that they are full, like turning their face away 

At this age, babies need more iron because their natural iron stores are running low and they are growing so quickly. Start with iron-rich foods like iron-fortified cereals, meats, fish, lentils, and tofu. 

For additional information on introducing solid foods and food allergens:

A positive relationship with food starts early in life. How you approach mealtimes with your toddler and preschooler is as important as what foods you offer. Eating is a skill that takes time to learn. The Ellyn Satter Institute provides information on the roles that children and adults have around food and eating, known as the Satter Division of Responsibility in Feeding. 

As a parent/caregiver, you decide: 

• What foods to offer 
• When to offer meals and snacks, and 
• Where your child will eat 

Your child will decide: 

• Whether to eat the foods that are offered, and 
• How much to eat 

For additional information on feeding toddlers and preschoolers: 

• Trust Me. Trust My Tummy. 
• Picky Eating:

Food helps support your child’s growth and development and gives them the energy to learn and play.

Is my child eating well?

If you are a parent or caregiver for a toddler child (18 to 35 months), use Nutri-eSTEP® as a fast and simple way to find out if your child is a healthy eater.

Nutri-eSTEP is a nutrition screening tool for toddlers and preschoolers, created in part by Dietitians of Canada. It contains questions about a child’s typical food choices, eating behaviours, and physical activity and growth patterns.

The questionnaire takes about 10 minutes to complete and provides immediate feedback.

Talking about weight and food around kids

The way we talk about food and weight around kids matters. Without meaning to, sometimes comments can make kids feel bad about their bodies or what they eat. 

Parents and caregivers can make a big difference: 

• Focus on health, not weight 
• Talk about food in a positive way 
• Save tough conversations for times outside of meals 
• Share age-appropriate information when kids are ready to learn

Feeding a child with a cold or fever

You can feed a child the same way you usually would when they have a cold or fever, however they may not be as hungry. Never force your child to eat.

If your child is congested and being breastfed, try feeding baby upright and clear nasal passages with saline mist and nasal aspirator before feeding, which can make it easier to breathe.

If your child is eating solids, you can offer smaller servings to match their appetite. Offer lots of fluids to keep kids hydrated.

Sometimes warm foods, like oatmeal and soup, or cold foods, like smoothies, cold fruit or yogurt can help to soothe a sore throat or feel comforting when kids are sick. Foods like fruit, vegetables and soups also help to keep kids hydrated.

Feeding a child who has diarrhea

In young infants, continue breastfeeding your baby smaller amounts more frequently. Again, if your baby refuses to breastfeed, talk to your healthcare provider immediately.

For older infants and children with diarrhea, offer small amounts of fluids frequently. There is no reason to stop feeding your child who has diarrhea. Some foods that might be easier to digest include:

• Infant cereals
• Bread or toast
• Rice or potatoes
• Crackers
• Yogurt
• Fruits and vegetables

Avoid drinks high in sugar (e.g. sports drinks, soft drinks, juice) as they can make diarrhea worse.

Feeding a child who is throwing up

In young infants, continue breastfeeding your baby smaller amounts more frequently. If your baby refuses to breastfeed, talk to your healthcare provider immediately.

In older infants and children who are throwing up, offer small amounts of fluids frequently. When vomiting stops, feed an age-appropriate, regular diet.

The BRAT (bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast) diet does not have to be followed as it is very low in nutrition, however these foods can be included if enjoyed.

Dehydration

What is dehydration?

Dehydration happens when you lose fluids from your body, which are made up of water and salts. It is most likely to occur when your child is throwing up or having diarrhea. Dehydration is a serious medical concern and can be life threatening, especially for infants and young children

Signs of dehydration

It is important to know the signs of dehydration and watch for them when your child is sick. Signs of dehydration include:

• Peeing less or less wet diapers
• In infants (one week of age or older), less than four wet
  diapers in 24 hours
• In young children, peeing less often and pee that is a deep,
  yellow colour
• Sunken soft spot on your baby’s head
• Increased thirst
• Dry, cracked lips and a dry mouth
• No tears when crying
• Sunken eyes
• Lack of energy
• Drowsiness or dizziness

If you are concerned that your child is dehydrated, talk to your healthcare provider right away.

Fluids to prevent dehydration

Try a variety of fluids to keep children hydrated during illness, including:

• Water
• Water flavoured with fruit or cucumber
• 100% fruit juice (unless your child has diarrhea, as juice can
  make it worse)
• Frozen water or juice, such as ice chips, ice cubes or
  popsicles
• Pasteurized 3.25% cow’s milk or whole goat’s milk for
  children over 9 months of age
• Fortified soy beverage for children over 24 months of age
• Broth
• Smoothies

Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS)

Sometimes water and other fluids are not enough to keep someone hydrated when they are sick. An oral rehydration solution (ORS) is a mixture with very specific amounts of water, salts and sugar made to help prevent dehydration or treat mild dehydration. You can
find an ORS at most drug stores. Examples include:

• ORS drinks such as Pedialyte.
• ORS freezies such as Pediapops.
• ORS powders that you must mix with water such as Gastrolyte.

Using too much or too little water may harm your child, so buying an ORS that has already been mixed is safest. Instructions may be different based on the age of your child and the product you choose. Follow directions from your healthcare provider and the package carefully.

TIP: Keep a supply of Oral Rehydration Solution in your home. You never know when you might need it.

Food and nutrition play an important role in maintaining your health and well-being and lowering your risk of chronic disease. 

Health Canada recommends eating foods that contain vitamin D daily or taking a vitamin D supplement that contains 400 IU (10ug) of vitamin D daily. After the age of 50, Health Canada recommends taking a vitamin D supplement regardless of what you eat. You can find vitamin D in foods like milk, plant-based beverages, margarine, egg yolks, salmon, and some yogurts and kefirs.
