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.

we got up late so missed nursery breakfast.

before we left he had about 3 bites of toast w/butter, a glass of smoothie and a banana in the car
at nursery he had snack (cracker and fruit of some kind) which he had seconds of.
sausages and mash for lunch which he also had seconds of!
ice cream and fruit for dessert.
then we went home and he had a huuuge adult+ portion of mango and strawberries. the child will eat fruit until there is simply no fruit left.
then he had lamb and mint kebab from sainsbo, broccoli, carrots, cucumber and spaghetti hoops and he ate it all except all the hoops and the broccoli. he also drunk a lot of water and ate loads of raspberries off our raspberry bushes.
he's a very good little eater almost all of the time! but not that fussed about breakfast until a bit later in the morning just like me.

Breakfast : strawberry, porridge, Cheerios
Snack: avocado and banana smoothie, pizza on toast

Lunch: minced meat with eggs, yoghurt, toast and grapes, ( bit of each as not a huge appetite due to heat)

Snack: continue with what’s left over from lunch

www.organix.com/recipes/blackberry-drops

That’s fab thank you!

Banana bread toasted with peanut butter and an easy peeler

We had lunch out and he ate a few different pasta dishes and a couple of slices of pizza

A ham mini wrap, cucumber and tomatoes, a few crisps, grapes, strawberries and blueberries

My little one is 17 months and won’t eat sandwiches or wraps or thins. Can anyone help on how I can encourage please? He likes toast (sometimes) but won’t eat bread.

@PinkDaydreams have you tried bagels, fruit loaf, crumpets, brioche etc, my eldest was never keen on sandwiches, he’s 8 now and it’s only in the last couple of years he will happily eat them. He did used to love to have bread to dip into soup (all 3 of mine love/d doing this).

He likes crumpets and warburtons orange fruit bread. Trying to think of food to take out for a packed lunch

@PinkDaydreams what about crackers? Cream crackers, water biscuits, poppyseed crackers, or even rice cakes or corn cakes. Then just take cheese, ham etc to go with. Or spreads/soft cheese to put on them.

@pinkdaydreams my little one likes pikelets with cream cheese or melted cheese, and eggy bread is usually a winner too.

Today my 1 year old ate:
Bottle of milk
Porridge with chopped up strawberries

Mango and banana rice cakes, apple and some veggie sticks for a snack

Lunch was a bit of a disaster as we were caught out longer than I thought so he ducked some hummus off some crudetes and had a croissant

Dinner was cous cous patties, cauliflower cheese with peas and broccol plus yoghurt

Then another bottle before bed.

Scrambled eggs. Cold. Congealed. An hour after I made them.

A frozen fish finger (she helped herself while I made her pasta for lunch, which she didn’t eat).

Something I wasn’t quick enough to identify that she picked up from the fireplace.

The pasta I made for lunch that I had to pretend to add marmalade to because she insisted she wanted it. Then she ate her pasta and said, “urgh. I don’t like marm’lade.”

A twister lolly.

Breakfast : porridge , blueberry

Snack : breadsticks, apple.

Lunch: cheese, cucumber, grapes, banana smoothie with spinach.

Snack: hummus on bread. Tiny bit. He ate half a bread roll with no filling because he liked it.

Tea: eggs with tomato and onions. Rice and yoghurt. Cheerios.

Breakfast: Almond milk porridge with banana Chia seeds peanut butter and cacao nibs
Bowl of raspberries

Snack: Mango fruit rollup & three cheese twists to keep him happy on a long bus ride

Non lunch lunch: Thai sweet chilli Crisps at friends house and Kiwi fruit. Chocolate digestive biscuit.

Snack: Mini milk vanilla ice cream, a mini ice lolly that was just frozen juice I squeezed from an orange

Dinner: COOK kids pasta bolognese, not much of this maybe 2 tablespoons. 3 frubes! With about 10 raspberries. I would have given him some toast but we didn’t have any bread annoyingly.

So much fruit and sugar today. Not looking forward to bedtime!

Breakfast: Cheerios with semi skimmed milk
