Your child's eating pattern..?

[mummysbigsmiles]

My daughter is 15 months and is becoming a little fussy with her meals... I didnt have a certain routine until i started one today. Does anyone have a strict routine of what

That can give me some guidance and also what their children eat on a daily basis? Around 15 months old.

I am a nanny and my charges at that age would have what the whole family was eating; roast dinner, spag bol, fish and chips, lasagne etc

At that age, DD was roughly having...

Wake up (7.30) - 5oz milk
8.30/9ish - Weetabix, Shreddies or porridge
12ish - lunch, which she preferred as her largest meal, so pasta or stew followed by yoghurt and fruit
2ish - 4oz milk
4ish - maybe a quick snack like some rice cakes
5.30ish - dinner, something like toast, cheese and veg, or scrambled eggs
7.30 - 5oz milk before bed

I just used to work by the rule of thumb that after 2 hours or so she was probably hungry again!

Yeah, what others said, just same sort of stuff as us and suitable easy snacks.

at 15 months mine were basically eating when and what we did.

plus breastfed on demand

Should have added that DD was eating what we ate, but not always when we did - her routine of when she was hungry etc didn't slot in with ours (i.e. wanting dinner at 5 when we normally wouldn't eat till 8) and also she was in almost f/t childcare, so we thought it better to stick to one routine that worked both at the CM's and at home.

At that age they were roughly having

8am breakfast

10am snack

12pm lunch

3pm snack

5pm tea

With bfs inbetween. At that age she needs at least 300ml of full fat cows milk per day if you are not bfing but this can be in food, like cereals, fish pie, cauliflower cheese and rice pudding.

Both had family meals, tonight its chilli and rice
