Calcium is definitely essential for the healthy development of your toddler’s muscles, bones and teeth. While milk is the main source of this mineral, here are some other calcium-rich foods that you can include in your kid’s diet.

ORANGES

These citrus fruits are not only rich in calcium but also in vitamin D, that helps absorb the mineral in the body. Ensure that you remove the seeds from this fruit before feeding it to your toddler. Or opt for some fresh orange juice.

YOGURT

Yogurt is recommended for those kids who turn their faces away at the sight of milk. Serve it as a dip with sliced fruit or go for the flavoured ones. Other dairy products, including cheese, are also a good source of calcium.

LEAFY VEGGIES

Green, leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, peas and spinach, contain good amounts of calcium too. Give your kid some spinach soup regularly.
