Here at Catholic Medical Partners, we understand the issues many parents encounter when faced with the task of feeding their children. We have dedicated this web page to all things food and nutrition related to help lift some of that burden. Please take some time and navigate around this page to view all of the helpful resources we offer.
   
New Parents
Follow this link to get a better understanding of the feeding patterns of your new baby and what you should know about feeding your baby.
Healthy Family
A healthy family begins with you! Parents are not only role models for good behavior, they are also role models for healthy eating. Check out the USDA’s tips on how to be a healthy role model for your children.
Use these resources to learn how to calculate your child’s Body Mass Index (BMI) and what your child’s BMI means. Once you understand your child’s BMI, check out our healthy eating plans for kids and teens.
Additional resources on healthy eating is available from the USDA’s choosemyplate.gov website. Look for new resources coming to that website soon!
Healthy Eating
Healthy eating begins before you put food on the table. Learning how to read a nutrition facts label will help you make healthier food choices at the grocery store. You can also teach your children how to use a nutrition facts label to make better food choices.
 
Finding a healthy snack for your child can pose a problem, granola bars are an option, but with so many choices which one do you choose? Check out our granola bars comparison to choose the best one for your family.
 
Preparing dinner for your family is a healthier and cheaper alternative to fast food restaurants. We have made it even easier for you and your family with our $5 meal ideas and our healthy recipes page. Check out both to start improving your family’s health today!
