Peanut butter....again? Should you worry about your toddler wanting the same thing for lunch every day?
Food jags are common in kids. Read more from Kids Eat Right here.
The only problem with a Food Jag might be the type of food. Peanut Butter would be a red flag. Yep, I said it. Keep in mind that Peanut "Butter" has more than double the amount of fat than the actual protein content! Peanut Butter should be a once in awhile food for everyone, including toddlers. Use Peanut "Butter" cautiously as an "extra" on toast or apples.
