The diet of young children should consist of 5-6 meals a day, which means having three main meals, and arranging two snacks between the morning and afternoon main meals, consisting of milk, fruit, and other soft porridge or pastries. A snack or dessert can also be added after dinner, but hard foods that can easily be aspirated into the trachea (such as peanuts), salted vinegar foods, and fried foods should not be given directly to young children.
