This is the question many parents ask themselves, and more often than not, the choices are uninspired. According to the doctors, the package should not contain salami or other types of meat under any circumstances.

“Child nutrition is extremely important and must be supervised very carefully and especially with a lot of information. Vegetables are important. You have to find a way to prepare the vegetables in such a way that the package becomes more appetizing, such as, for example, a cheese paste with a lot of greens and peppers or capia. Or, like, for example, a pumpkin pudding with baked eggs. Cut a slice and give it to your child. It doesn't have to be a sandwich with two slices of bread, one up, one down“, says Dr. Adina Alberts, in a post on Facebook.
Meat is not good for little ones, especially processed meat, because it will make it mushy, making it harder to digest.
“Meat will annoy your child at school. After eating his salami slice packet, the child will sit down to “digestion” in the sense that in order to digest that salami slice, he will need the blood to travel down the alimentary canal and thus the child will feel drowsy, he will not feel very well. Meat is a heavy food. We give them meat at home, when they arrive, I know, for lunch, a piece, a few times a week, not every day, and under no circumstances are salami and semi-prepared meat products suitable for children, and under no circumstances case, not daily”, it also says this

“What else can we do? Mozzarella. Mozzarella is an exceptionally good product for children. It's light, doesn't contain a lot of fat, and then we can cut a slice of mozzarella along with a slice of tomato and make a delicious sandwich, or instead of tomato, it can be a slice of cucumber or a slice of capsicum.
And thus we make a delicious and very healthy sandwich. We could, for example, make macaroni and cheese the night before and the next morning cut a slice and put it together. Or we could make a sandwich with butter. I encourage you to give butter to the children. Not in industrial quantities. We can spread a slice of bread with butter. It is not a problem.
We can put some honey paintings on it. We recap. Macaroni and cheese, one slice, that would be Monday. Tuesday would be eggplant salad. Wednesday would be a butter and honey sandwich. Thursday would be a slice of mozzarella with tomato, cucumber or capsicum. Friday would be either an omelet, or a stew, or, I know, a pumpkin pudding with eggs in the oven”, says Dr. Adina Alberts.
