Toddlers and Omega-3s

Being the mother of a 2.5 year old, the subject of toddler meals has been one of great frustration. "If you eat that carrot, you can have another blueberry!" "NO CARROT!" "oooohh eat this bite of chicken--it's so yummy!" "No chicken!".....You get the point. It's only natural to worry about my son's health when his diet is not varied these days. He LOVES bread, so I only give him whole wheat products. He is not a fan of meat or eggs, so now I have to deal with the protein and omega fats issue. Omega oils are important for cognitive development, vision, and behavior. Most Americans are deficient--especially in Omega 3's which are found in some organic eggs as well as butter made from grass-fed cow's milk. I went in search of a vitamin, and came across this at Whole Foods. They are not filled with anything artificial, which is a must for my little dude. Dr. Sears is one of my favorites--he writes many great attachment parenting books and his views are in line with mine for the most part. The best part is that Josiah loves these vitamins and views them as a treat after his "meal". ;)
