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.

He will happily refuse food if it is new or different.. And unless it is unhealthy (crisps or stones off the ground 🙈 etc) he rarely lifts it or eats it himself. Might squish it between his hands and might occasionally put it in his mouth and let it fall straight back out again. He will even do that when I'm spoonfeeding food I know he likes until he tastes it and decides oh yea I do like that ... Is this normal / OK amount of food?

Slice of fruit toast and a few slices of melon

Mini wrap with some ham, cucumber and tomato, strawberries and blueberries and a few mini cheddars

A couple of slices of apple

A barny bear

Chicken Katsu and peas

A yogurt
