To ask what your toddler ate today?

[Hobnobsarenotfordunking]

After a few days or barely eating anything today my 17 month old has eaten:

A banana
A bowl of shredded
A slice of toast
A rice tea biscuit
A lunchbox malt loaf
A goodies oaty bar
A hobnob
About 30 blueberries
3 satsumas
A tea-cake
1 small tin of beans
1 slice of toast
2 small yogurts

I am aware a lot of that list isn’t great for him- now he is eating well again I can readdress the balance and get more veggies and proper dinners in! He ate a full Sunday roast yesterday and plans have meant it needed to be a quick tea.

What have your toddlers had? I need inspiration for new ideas and to know that mine isn’t going to end up obese for eating everything he had today!

Nearly 3 year old.

Eaten...
Half a banana
Half a slice of toast
Small tin of spaghetti hoops
Slice of cheese
Half a ham sandwich

Weetabix
Apple

I had a nice cottage pie that I didn’t even bother heating up as she took one look at it and declared she hated it

My 8 month old eats more than her. She is just NEVER hungry and it’s infuriating.

Breakfast of Cornflakes then 1 piece of toast.
Lunch at nursery: Sausage and bean casserole with new potatoes and carrots followed by semolina and fruit.

Pack up that I made for his tea at nursery: wholemeal sandwich thin with egg mayo, raw pepper, sweetcorn, few wotsits, piece of cheese, grapes and strawberries and a small homemade crispie cake. I know that seems a lot bit I've had more success giving small portions of a variety of things.

Before bed: banana and milk.

Half a banana and some grapes

2 breadsticks

Half a bowl tuna, pasta and sweetcorn
Half an apple
