To ask... What did your toddler eat today!?

[AlphaBravo]

Following on from 'Chicken nugget-gate' on the other thread 😉 and the popularity of the "What did you eat today" thread. I have to ask...

What Did Your Toddler Eat Today?

DS 15mo has eaten
Bowl of Lidl shreddies, followed by more shreddies, water.
We went out and met friends for coffee, I took him some bernand Matthews ‘turkey’ a banana, some marmite rice cakes. He ate half the banana and 5 jelly babies instead.

Tea will be baked chicken, chorizo and veggies. Cos that’s what I’m having.

18mo DD
Breakfast: yoghurt then scrambled egg

Wanted back to bed so she went with around 300ml milk

Lunch: chips, cheese quesadilla (off her Dad's plate), raisins, cucumber sticks

Dinner: pesto pasta (guaranteed dinner fave which she has around 4 times a week 🙈) and blueberries and watermelon.

Heading to bed shortly so it'll be another 300ml milk

14mo
B - mini shredded wheat, half banana and blueberries
S - half crumpet and satsuma
L - pilchards and tomatoes on toast, organix gingerbread man and cup of milk
S - cracker and hummus probably
D - Will be shepherds pie and peas or carrot

2.5 year old
B - same as above but ate the fruit out of the bowl and refused the shredded wheat. Asked for cornflakes then ate them very reluctantly
S - as above but refused the satsuma
L - beans and cheese on toast, organix gingerbread man
S - nothing as won't eat his tea if he has afternoon snack
D - definitely won't eat shepherds pie. Gagged on it the other day. Will have to come up with an alternative

2.5 year old was a good eater as a baby so I know not to get too excited that my 14mo will eat anything

He’s not well today so it’s not been great...

A little weetabix, half a banana, a few rice cakes. Some chips. Bottle milk.

@reallyreallynow we're having fancy fish goujons and oven roasted new potatos with salad 😂 so he's having birdseye with his!

I'd never put proper roasties with fish fingers 😬

@AlphaBravo phew! I'll cancel SS now! 😂

2 year old ds..
breakfast - 1 and a half adult sized yogurts, half a mini muffin and a bite of crumpet. Half a banana and a cup of milk.
Lunch- packet of wotsits, 1 and a half garlic crackers with hummus. Couple of raisins. Nibbles at a pork pie.
2 beakers of weak squash.
Dinner will be fish pie and peas but he will probably ignore it and demand more yogurt 🙄
Where did I go wrong?! He used to eat everything and anything!

3 year old DS

Breakfast - 2/3's of a cereal bar and a cup of milk
Snack - another cup of milk
Lunch - 2/3's of a packet of crisps and a couple of crackers
Snack - another cup of milk

For tea he will either have some plain bread or cereal and a fruit smoothie, depending on which he will actually eat.

Getting him to eat much of anything is a massive challenge as he's non verbal with sensory processing issues. I am guilty of letting him have McDonald's fries and milkshakes occasionally, but the fries are the only potato item he ever eats! Gets ready to be shot down

Nearly 4 year old...
Breakfast - bowl of cornflakes and cup of milk
Oat fruit bar snack at rugby lesson
Lunch-brown bread cheese toastie and two small yoghurts
Homemade gingerbread dinosaur
Supper will be homemade pizza (shop bought base) with ham and cheese and sweet corn. Probably ice cream for pudding. He'll have some wotsits at some point too!

About 6 peas and something off the floor.

My 18 month

Breakfast- rejected toast and cereal so had a breadstick

Snack- big rice cake

Lunch we ate out- he rejected the tomato pasta i bought (that he usually loves) so had a few of my chips and carrots.

Tea- he is in the process of rejecting cottage pie.

My 4 year old is doing better

Breakfast- marmite on one slice of toast

Snack- rice cake

Lunch- macaroni cheese and broccoli

Tea- plain pasta and her brother's cottage pie

She'll have some fruit after tea.

17 month DD is still having three or four bottles a day, she just isn't bothered with food enough for her not to want a bottle!

Today she has had;

Corn flakes with the smallest splash of milk
Raspberries

Cheese on toast

Apple

Tea will be whatever we have

Nearly everything is crushed or chucked on the floor so realistically what she actually eats it's probably a tiny portion of what I give her

This thread proves to me that toddlers are little buggers

@AlphaBravo my 17 month old it's very similarly almost identically to yours and tends to eat a lot of the same type of thing. I think fed is best and she loves food so if that means eating the same sorts of things everyday I don't mind. At least now I can see she's not the only 17m old that eats like that lol

19mo DS has had:

Breakfast: Porridge with raspberries, toast with strawberry jam

Lunch: cheese on toast, rice cakes, kiwi

Dinner: will be spaghetti Bolognese and yoghurt over his Nanny's

He's also had a fruit cake thing, blueberries and a few tiny mouthfuls of my Mini roll.

After the rejection of the cottage pie the 18 month old is having ham and a strawberries and apples Ella's Pouch. He might eat another breadstick as well if I'm lucky.

DD2 (3):

1 weetabix
Slice of toast with a fried egg
Small amount of orange juice cut with water

Ginger nut biscuit
Half an apple
Mini bag of Haribo - birthday girl at ballet gave them out

1/2 pitta bread
Tablespoon hummus
2 cherry tomatoes
Baby cucumber
2 carrot sticks
Slice of ham
Slice of salami
2 sticks of cheddar
Water

1/2 individual packet of popcorn
A few late blackberries foraged on a walk

Dinner is home made pizza base with sausage, sweet corn, mushroom and tomatoes, pizza sauce, mozzarella and grated cheese
1/2 a microwave chocolate pudding
Water

Loving this thread, so helpful
14month old

4 baby spoon fulls of weetabix
A nibble of a croissant
4grapes 1 raspberry

Half an Apple snack

Lunch- 2 spoons of pesto gnocchi with chicken and tomatoes /1 bread stick and 2 fromage frais

Half an Apple

Dinner will be pepper/ cucumber with hummous and half a baby pizza

Crumpet with butter & green smoothie (she thinks this is a treat - it contains veg - my best parenting win ever)
A frigging lolly (grandma!)
A cereal bar (because she was ‘starving’)
Garlic bread, a few bites of carrot sticks
Wholemeal pasta (zizzis) with cheese sauce and peas
Ice cream, mini cones and popping candy
Piece of chocolate (grandma strikes again!)

I’m going to give her veggie soup for tea then we’re off to a family party so she’s graze on the buffet 😂

My two year old is a fairly good eater in terms of quantity. Usually bowl of cereal and milk for breakfast.
Grapes for snack.
Cheese sandwich, tomatoes and two baby yogurts
Breadstick for snack
Probably something with beans for tea.

If I let him he would eat beans on toast all day everyday. Which he still probably has three times a week. Dh spent and hour making him a chicken and rice meal last night and it got thrown on the floor. Beans to the rescue!

Porridge, a happy meal and a punnet of cherry tomatoes (she's obsessed)

3 year old is suddenly ridiculously fussy. She has had
Bowl of shreddies which she mostly just played with and then abandoned

Tiny slice of baguette with butter and some blueberries (maybe about 5 or 6).
Slice of birthday cake which she ate one bite of and then declared to be 'disgusting'

Dinner will be sausages, sweet potato wedges and corn on the cob. She won't eat it.

I miss the toddler who ate everything...

My DD is 2 and a half and eats complete rubbish most of the time

Today she has had
Bowl of shreddies
2 crumpets
bag of wotsits
Bowl of rice crispisle "shapes"
Srawberry biscuit ( one of the ridiculously expensive kiddielicious ones)

Tonight she will probably have pasta with cheese and some yoghurts.

I would give my right arm for her to eat some fruit or veg but it's not happening!
