How much is too much sweets..What are healthy sweet foods for toddlers?
Say i give my 14 month old…
Maple/Brown sugar oatmeal with bananas for Breakfast with milk.
Lunch: more fresh fruit
Snack: Cinnamon cookies with milk
Dinner: more fresh fruit afterwards OR sugar free jello with fresh fruit or mixed with yogurt with 1.5oz juice/4.5 water
Isn’t this too much sweet foods in one day? Also what are good “healthy” sweet foods for my 14 month old?
He eats the Cinnamon cookies from the baby aisle like the Gerber Graduates ones or the Sesame Street organic ones are these good for him? What about the sugar free jello? Thanks! 
I think you’re fine. Fresh fruits have sugar in them, as does milk but they are obviously better choices than candy, fruit snacks, and other sweets with no nutritional value.
I think you are fine. If you really wanted to cut down from what you are doing you could do a plain oatmeal with bananas. But, I think you are just fine.
My son is 18 months old and has the flavored oatmeal and other sources of sugar throughout the day but we don’t go overboard.
A good rule of thumb is to go with fresh foods, and stay away from processed foods and that will be your healthiest choices.
Oh! Just because something is a baby version (i.e. baby cookies, dessert foods) does NOT mean they are healthy. You could probably find regular cookies that are comparable to the “baby” cookies that are cheaper. Not saying that it is horrible to give them cookies, my sons get them but they aren’t good for them.
