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.

DD is 15 months. Today was

Almond croissant,
Two tiny squares of peanut butter on toast
Handful of Krave parcels in milk
Banana
Bites from two strawberries
Shared a Muller Corner yoghurt with me
Cheesy pasta with broccoli and peas
Ella's Kitchen carrot cake bar
Homemade lasagne

Oh, and over 10oz of milk!

DD 18months

Breakfast - 1 potato scone with butter, 8 grapes quartered and one banana cut into chunks. Ate - probably about 3 grapes and a bite of the potato scone.

Dinner - 2 x rice cakes with cream cheese, 1 slice of ham, 4 cucumber sticks, a frubes yoghurt and a handful of quavers. Ate - pretty much all of it.

Tea - Roasted Lamb cut into pieces, 2 x Small roast potatoes and sweet corn. Ate - all the sweet corn, most of the potato and turned her nose up at the lamb although she did try it several times.

Strawberry mini milk for pudding.

Probably a bit of a controversial view but we don’t do snacks in between meals in our house! Unless desperately hungry.

My nearly 4 year old (so not really a toddler anymore, Wah!!) has had:
B: one cheese string and three crackers with butter and some squash
L: Half cheese sandwich (bit of a cheese theme at the moment), one Cadbury's brunch bar, one tubey yoghurt thing and an apple, and a strawberry milk carton
snack= small bag popcorn at cinema
Dinner= pasta with tomato pesto, peas, ham, green pepper and more cheese. Followed by strawberries in a meringue shell with a fromage frais over the top.
He's due a growth spurt I think as he's eating really well at the moment and chunking out a bit.

Breakfast
Offered: warm weetabix, chopped mixed fruits
Ate: half a strawberry, a Peppa Pig yoghurt and half my slice of toast.
Lunch
offered: cheesy pasta bake with sliced cherry toms and cucumber sticks
Ate: two crackers, a banana and half a worm from the garden
Dinner
Offered: home made pizza and sweetcorn
Ate: Sweetcorn and cheese from the pizza.

1 weetabix before bed.

Can’t wait to see what delights tomorrow will bring!

Oh and she’s newly 3

Milk, rice crispies and a nectarine
Pineapple
Lamb moussaka, rice pudding
Apple and milk
Half a jacket potato, Boston beans and cheese (doesn’t eat the skin). Cherry tomatoes, yogurt.
Milk before bed
Plus three chocolate buttons for using the potty
26 months old, usually eats everything but has been a bit fussy lately so glad they’re back on track this week.

11 month old DD doesn't eat much yet but she's had:
6 Shreddies and a few dry cocoa pops
A finger of ham and cucumber sandwich.
A cucumber wedge.
About 4 strawberries.
3 chunks of chicken, 2 chunks of courgette

My nearly two year old is a gobbler.
