what did your dd/ds eat today

[mummy2jake]

was just wondering what you feed you little ones as i am struggling what to give my ds he used to eat fine but he`s not that bothered about food anymore .

sorry forgot to say my ds is 19 months.

my 14 month old ds has had:

bowl of porridge
half my toast
tiny bit of easter egg
hot cross bun
cheese sandwiches, carrot sticks, tomatoes and some pineapple for lunch
some more hot cross bun
veggie stew and a yoghurt for tea
half a banana

DS2 is my nearest to you (he's just 3)
he ate toast with jam and grapes an dmilk. Ignored his requested rice krispies.
Then roll with ham and tomatoes and cucumber, more grapes and lots of Easter egg.
Then chicken (dipped in egg and breadcrumbs and fried) and pasta and carrots. More Easter egg well it is Easter Monday!
Is that any help?

\not much help i'm afraid as my DSs ate mostly easter eggs today!

There are loads of MNers who make fantastic food for their kids so I'm sure someone will be along soon who can actually help

But, did find with DS2 (2yrs) that he prefers to graze all day rather than have 3 big meals. I give him carrot and cucumber and dip, rice cakes, fruit, dried fruit in between and give him small helpings at meal times.

Reducing snacks may help, same goes for milk before meals. But it may also be a phase that will pass soon.

DS is ow 3 yrs and I don't remeber quite well what was he eating but we just concentrated in trying to get him to eat a small portion of protein, 2 vegetables and a portion of carbs per meal, and he was fine. He had a long phase on which he was practically living of air, but curiously, he was more chubby than other children his age, so I suppose he didn't need to eat that much...

ds (3 yrs old) ate:
Breakfast: egg with soldiers and some of a bowl of weetabix
snack: a kinder egg left from yeserday
Lunch: a mackerel fillet with cucumber (I WANT to make kedgeree for him but he won't touch it, so I give him the mackerel on it's own as it's so good for him!)
snack: houmous with breadsticks
dinner: Tuna pasta followed by 3 fromage frais

Some days he eats more, some less. I definitely have noticed a fussiness creeping in - he doesn't want things like caluiflower cheese that he used to eat no question, also has to be encouraged with bribes to eat broccoli which he used to stuff down...

I think it's about being creative with how you offer the food (ie green beans are worms and pasta shells are snails etc), and I say things like "you can have pudding if you eat one whole piece of broccoli". This does work. Also I feel the crux of it is to keep offering what I want him to eat, and I feel he will just eat up one day when fussy toddlerdon is behind him! I have read a thread on here where a couple of people said that once their kids were 5 or 6 they suddently started wolfing down their food again....

my dd whos 1 ate a bowl of ready brek, an egg mayo sandwich, veggie shepherds pie and some beans, and a mini choc bunny, and a few mouthfulls of easter cake.

14mth DS had
Breakfast - Peanut butter on toast
Lunch - Ham, pineapple and sweetcorn pizza and a potaoto
Snack - a Goodies fruit & seed bar
Dinner - Bangers & mash and spinich
Pudding - a Banana
small pieces of choccy during the day too. He got loads of it for easter and he still has some left from xmas he needs to get through!

Mine is 15months. he had:

Breakfast: 2 weetabix and a slice of toast.
Snack: Raisins.
Lunch: 2 potatoes with chicken and gravy and 2 yoghurts.
Sanck: Banana.
Dinner: Oven chips with some chicken goujons that I made from the left over chicken. He threw the oven chips on the floor but ate the chicken
Supper: A toasted pancake before bed.

My DS2 (3) had:
Weetabix for breakfast
Billy bear meat, chunks of cheese, crisps & yoghurt drink for lunch
Some of his Easter egg for a snack
Fishfingers, oven chips & broccoli for tea
Yoghurt

Not sure today as she was at PIls. However, as an idea of what she normally has on non-nursery days -

Saturday
Breakfast: eggy bread
Lunch: ham sandwich, strips of peppers and cucmber,lump of cheese, cherry tomatoes, spoonful of sweetcorn
Snack: raisins
Dinner: chicken and leek pie, mash, broccolli, carrots and cauliflower
Dessert: raindbow fruit kebabs with milk chocolate dip, strawberry dip and a youghurt and honey dip

Sunday
Breakfast: a slice of toast and a boiled egg; and some chocolate Easter egg!
Lunch: (ate out) gammon, rice, peas and onion bread; also some of DH's chicken fajita and chips
Dinner: psta and pesto
Dessert: rest of that small chocolate egg

On nursery days DD ends up with two proper meals. One at lunch time at nursery and another at home with me and DH. Chocolate is often her dessert, but she eats so well and pretty varied that I have no problem with that.

my DD is almost 4 and lives on carbs, broccoli and ham or sausage most days.

hula that's a fab menu, loads of FAVUs and plenty of variety. What a star yr DD is!
(sorry, just realised I posted something similar on another thread on another subject. I am not your (or DD's) creepy stalking fan, honest! )

LOL Clary! :)

She is just a greedy so and so and loves her food. She had three portions of dinner at nursery today!

DD (3) had shreddies and raisins for breakfast,
fruit mid morning (at playgroup so not sure but think grapes tangerine & banana)
Philadelphia and chorizo sandwich with pine nuts avacado and cherry tomato for lunch followed by more fruit
she skipped an afternoon snack and had sausages, baked potato and broccoli, carrots and sweetcorn for tea followed by easter egg

DS(5) had same breakfast and tea, banana mid morning and sandwich, custard, biscuit for lunch and a biscuit mid afternoon.

Not the most typical day but they always eat loads of veg and fruit.

Ds (nearly 3) ate today:

Slice of toast with Marmite
Bowl of non-Nestle brand Shreddies (sheepish )
Lump of French stick with ham, pastrami, cheese, olives and roasted pepper
Grapes and figs

A couple of cheesy stars he made himself
Baked beans on toast
More grapes
