What did your toddler eat today?

[VanceRefrigeration]

Can I start one of these? Useful for getting ideas :-)

14m old DD had

B - one weetabix with cows milk
S - 2 ritz crackers
L - picked at hummus sandwich, piece of cheese, cucumber and kiwi followed by a fruity bar
S - malt loaf
D - chilli con carne and rice followed by a coconut milk pudding thing

Other than only picking at her lunch this is a pretty good day for her.

My 2 year old today (she has CMPA just for context)

Breakfast: cheerios and blueberries with oat milk
Snack: large banana
Lunch: half a ham sandwich (other half got thrown to the dog)
Snack: a teaspoon of houmous (the carrot and breadsticks I gave were lobbed on the floor)
Dinner: Chicken and broccoli (sweet potato fries were chewed up and spat back out again )
Half a cup of warm oat milk before bed

Today was a good day by her standards, many days there would be a lot more beige food!

[Bettyboop82]

Breakfast -brown toast with beans, drink of cold milk. Eat the toast, didn’t really bother with the beans. Then asked for strawberries!
Dinner cold chicken (leftover from yesterday), cucumber, olives, breadsticks, houmous. Ate all apart from the breadsticks.
Tea- Chilli con carne with rice, yoghurt for pud. Are about half a portion.

Snacks -Babybel cheese, apple slices, mini flapjack

Yes, dinner and tea! We’re northern!

Grumpy teething 21 month old DS had:

Porridge with whole milk
Greek yoghurt with seeds
Stole some of my pancakes
A little scrambled eggs and toast
Threw his grapes on the floor
Nakd bar
A few spoonfuls of sweet potato with lentil chilli
More porridge as he really didn’t eat much dinner.

[Clevs]

Breakfast - 1 Weetabix, a handful of Cheerios and a handful of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes with milk. Asked for seconds but didn't eat it. Had a whole slice of toast with butter instead, followed by a poached egg and half a slice of toast.

Lunch - 3 fishfingers, half a slice of bread & butter, a couple of small slices of raw pepper, half a bag of veggie straw crisps, half a Welsh cake and a satsuma. Then pinched half a bag of my husband's Quavers.

Tea - A handful of fries, a couple of bites of our burgers, half a banana and yoghurt.

In between meals he's had a small rice cake, an apple, several grapes and a couple of strawberries.

[Clevs]

Forgot to say he's two and a half (31 months).

[Wallabyone]

Mine's just two.
He had:
Porridge with sliced banana
Chicken goujons, some wholemeal pitta with melted cheese, slices of cucumber and cherry tomatoes.
Sliced apple
Nando's-chicken breast, chips, corn on cob.
Some chocolate ice cream, blueberries.

[lolabears]

Have to admit that Saturday is a bit of a lazy day for us food wise. DC3 is 12 months, still BF morning and night.

B - strawberry and banana Bircher. Some porridge I'd cooked for the others.
S - an oat and raisin square
L - chicken goujons and chips (fake McDs as requested by older ones)
S - small pack of baby biscuits, some banana and raisins
D - pasta with butter, yoghurt for pud and also a quality street

[sparklyglitterball]

Youngest dd is just 2.

Breakfast-porridge with a few grapes

Snack - satsuma pieces and an oatcake

Lunch - half an avocado, some cheese on toast and a few spoons of beans

Snack - a few white chocolate buttons as the older dd's had a treat of some sweets today.

Dinner- pasta with homemade tomatoe sauce, grated cheese and a little bit of bacon. Some whole milk. A couple of breastfeeds.

[ReallySpicyCurry]

Bowl of porridge and sliced apple
Blueberries and cheese cubes
Big bowl of leftover spaghetti for lunch
Packet of Magic Stars (my dad brings her these every Saturday)
An orange and some peas
Bottle of oat milk
Plain chips from the chippy (a treat every six weeks or so) sliced bread and butter.

I'd say she's a fairly normal eater. I'm a bit fussy over her diet but not as "organic unicorn poop only" as I was with my eldest. She doesn't get junky food like biscuits, sweets etc every day but probably would once a week or so, depending on what we're doing. She eats most things but will randomly turn her nose up at things before deciding she likes them again. She will be 2.5 in January.

[Heyha]

DD 16 months eats like a bird, want to wean her from bf but daren't with her eating habits but of course are they due to her knowing she can bf...🙄
Today was a particularly poor day:
B: mixed dried cereal, some Greek yog and honey
S: baby puff crisp things
L: some ham and some cheese, the bread got the thumbs down as did her raspberries
S: a biscuit
Her dinner: chicken curry ready meal (I keep these up my sleeve for if she hasn't eaten much else) a few spoons. Rice pudding pot and fruit puree mostly eaten
Our dinner: potato wedges (yes) fish goujons (no) salad (no)

[Mmsnet101]

Love this thread as DD is just coming out of a fussy phase but now insists on spoon feeding herself so trying to think of meals that don't cause so much mess with her insistence on using the spoon upside down... she's 14m.

Today she had:
Small cup of milk. Toast with scrambled egg, but egg mostly went to the dog

Tangerine

Tuna, courgette and cheese muffin (nibbled until she clocked the tuna then chucked), cheese, cucumber, tomatoes and yoghurt

2 x Tuc biscuits and hummus + banana

Cinnamon dahl w/ carrot, sweet potato and peas and another yoghurt

[Lau52]

Mine 2 last week, then unwell for few days so didn’t eat. So seems to grazing

[Lisa78Lemon]

Snack- 1/2 a cracker, 1/2 a pear

L- Sweet potato mash with dairy free spread and shredded vegan cheese, green beans and red pepper

Snack- Rice wafer, couple of veggie sticks

Today was an 'eating' day, he hardly had anything at all yesterday.

[Princesspickle777]

Nearly 3 year old.

9am - Cheerios no milk, refused anything else.
1pm - refused to entertain the idea of any meal ideas and insisted on Nutella on toast. Ate one small square of said toast.
4pm - came back from a walk said they were hungry. A handful of more dry Cheerios, half a satsuma and a few crisps.
6pm - a quarter of a tin of Heinz spaghetti and sausages (3 sausages).
2 Bourbon biscuits.

I’d love to know where my child who ate almost everything has gone. Some days I’m just glad she’s tried a biscuit

[PippinStar]

2 soldiers of toast dipped in egg
The ham from her sandwich
1 stick of cucumber
Around 5 pieces of penne pasta
A mini twister ice lolly.

She has a bad cold and isn’t herself so this was her off her food. She usually eats much more.
