Today my toddler ate

[meepmoop]

Hi everyone,

Awhile ago there was a thread going where we wrote what our toddlers had eaten each day and it was great seeing how/what others were eating. It was really helpful.

I just wondered if anyone fancied starting it up again.

DS 22m
Breakfast - 1 1/2 pancakes made from banana egg and oats. 4 chunks of melon
Snack - 2/3rds of a satsuma
Lunch - pork loin steak, carrots, parsnips, peas. 3 bites of boiled potato with butter
Snack - was on a playdate so some scrambled egg as we arrived while they were eating lunch. 2 strawberries 2x crackers and couple pieces of pineapple.
Tea - couple chunks of chicken, slice of pepper and probably half a mouthful of egg noodles. 4 chunks of melon.

I wish my toddler ate. Today she's had 2 dried apricots, half a yogurt, a mouthful of pot noodle which she stole from me another yogurt and a quarter piece of toast. I fear she doesn't eat enough are my fears right?

Don’t worry. The ‘we shared a mung bean - we’d both be stuffed if we had a whole one each’ crew will be along in a minute.

We’re in holiday so today my toddler ate

2 choc chip cookies
A pain au chocolate
A ham and cheese toasted sandwich
Half a packet of Cheeto crisps
A banana
6 strawberries
A small pot of strawberry ice cream

We haven’t had dinner yet but will probably have some form of tomato pasta!

My toddler has just broken a 3 week hunger strike. He had been surviving on barely anything.

Today he has had-

Brioche
Yoghurt
Home made pizza
Banana loaf
Lots of fruit
Spaghetti and meatballs
Icecream

Well, mine is an eating machine and always had been. Today he had,

Breakfast: half a bagel with cream cheese and some cherry tomatoes
Lunch and two snacks at nursery but I have no idea what.
Snack at home after nursery- a yogurt pouch and some crackers
Dinner - salmon, potato wedges, peas and then some berries for pudding, may have another yogurt before bed.

He’s rarely not hungry!

Small bowl weetos
Apple
Banana
Satsuma
Choc biscuit
Chilli and rice with wraps
Chicken, peas and potato waffle

We've had worse days!

I'm glad this is back! Couldn't find the last one. This always makes me feel less guilty!

Porridge and banana.

Raisins and raspberries

Pizza made on a wrap with cheese and tomatoes
Peppa pig yogurt

Chicken korma and rice with peas in.
Birthday cakes (dh birthday)

Hes 22 months.

2.5 yr old

A few diced up bits of fruit
A few mouthfuls chicken stew with rice
A full baby sized ice-cream tub
Fruit yo yo
Half a chicken nugget.

Mine is a fussy eater. He's eaten bread roll, yogurt and a whole packet of party rings he pinched from the cupboard

15 month old

Breakfast
Shreddies and 1 piece of toast

Snack
Blueberries and satsuma

Dinner
Spaghetti bolognese

Snack
Blueberries
Small goodies biscuit thing

Cheese
Olives

Small fromage frais

13 months

Breakfast: porridge
Snack: yoghurt
Lunch: half a slice of peanut butter on toast, quarter of a kiwi
Snack: biscuit
Dinner: cod with cheesy mash and broccoli

It never feels like a lot to me but this is a good day! 2 quick breastfeeds and 8oz of cow's milk.

Thanks for joining in, it's great to see what others eat

@loutyre as long as you keep offering and she has energy she might be more interested soon. I think they say look at what they eat in a week not just a day so maybe you can use this thread to record what she has

13 months old

Breakfast half a bowl of porridge and most of my cornflakes

Lunch: a couple of bites of a tuna salad and cheese wrap, 4 grapes

Snack: orange and dried dates

Dinner: couple mouthfuls of spag Bol

He's just not an eater, really wish he was. All he seems to want is boob!

18 month old:
Breakfast: 1 weetabix
Snack: banana
Lunch: 1 slice cheese on toast with some carrot puff things
Snack: petit filous and pancake
Dinner: salmon, mash, peas with raspberries and yoghurt for pudding

This may be a helpful thread for me. I have a 16 month old who is ridiculously fussy and I'm tearing my hair out with it now.

He gets fussier by the week. There's hardly anything he will eat. He wants to live on just toast and pizza.

2.5 year old son is a gannet. Today he's had:

Breakfast - one slice of toast with peanut butter
Snack: a whole punnet of strawberries bar the 4/5 large ones I scoffed
Lunch: 2 egg omelette with cheese and onion, another slice of toast and peanut butter because he was still hungry plus a large pear
Snack: one of those toddler "natural" cereal bar things
Dinner: Aldi toddler meal because we're having something too spicy. He had two of the small petit filous fromage frais for pudding

Plus two generous cups of whole milk.

I think he eats quite a bit. This is probably a bit less than average. He's 50th centile height and weight but like the Tasmanian devil, never sits still and he walks everywhere at his insistence.

@meepmoop Thankyou I struggle to find anything she will eat that is substantial so I will get loads out of this thread hopefully xx

My DS is 10 months:

Breakfast: crumpet and banana

Lunch : Philadelphia sandwich (we were out so it was the easiest thing to take with us), cucumber, melty puffs and grapes

Tea: spaghetti bolognaise with green beans on the side (Cos he loves them!), fruit smoothie pouch and a yoghurt.

3 year old:-

Breakfast - rice crispies with banana slices
Snack - toast
Lunch - houmous sandwiches (don't ask!)
Snack - yoghurt
Tea - about three bites of chicken, loads of pasta, sweetcorn and peas
Pudding - banana then half a gingerbread man.

He’s always been a fussy eater and only in the last six months have I started to chill out about it. I used to find the chats about how much other children eat really stressful - it’s hard to actually realise it, but they really are all different! X

2 year old DD has had

1 weetabix

A banana (well, ate a few mouthfuls, squished the rest up on the floor ) and a cup of milk

A chocolate biscuit to keep her quiet while we waited for the car being MOT’d

Totally rejected her lunch of leftover salmon pasta and green beans. Instead had a few cheesy crackers, cheese and an apple.

A Jaffa cake and most of a chocolate tea cake at my DGM’s (despite my protests)

Absolutely inhaled her dinner of chicken curry with mushrooms, courgette and peppers, and rice

@Armi that made me chuckle 😂
