Don't let children nibble constantly during the day. Avoid high sugar, fatty, and salty snacks, such as candy, unenriched crackers, and hard pretzels, that will crowd out nutritious snacks. Caffeine-containing beverages, such as coffee, tea, and some soft drinks, are not suitable for children. Check the labels for the differences between fruit juices and fruit-flavored drinks. Special snacks do not have to be sweet and gooey.
Snacks are a good way to introduce new foods.
