What does your 1 year old eat on an average day?

[Summerdays2014]

Hi all,

Does anyone want to share what their one year old eats and how much?

My son has just turned one and has started to get a bit fussy. He tends to go through stages of eating loads then not being interested at all. I also worry about salt intake, we never add any, but it seems that there is loads in everything!

My son is quite small and I find myself worrying he is not eating enough. However, when he goes though stages of eating loads I panic he is eating too much! I mainly cook all my own food and he often has what we are eating. He is on 2 bottles of formula a day and am looking to move this to cows milk asap.

I think it would really help to know what everyone else is up to. Thank you all in advance.

This is what he had yesterday...

7am - 7oz formula
8am - a crumpet and slices of mango
10.15am - 2 mini rice cakes and a pot of fromage fraise
12 - a bowl of spaghetti bolognese.
3.30pm - broccoli, pea and apple soup with toast and natural yoghurt rippled through it
6.30pm - 7oz formula

DS is 14 months, a typical day looks like this -

Breakfast: 8am - 1/2 a weetabix, 1/2 banana & a petit filous

Lunch: 11:45am - a picky plate usually of things like roast chicken slices, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, cheese, crackers, boiled egg etc just depending what's in the fridge that particular day

Nap: 1pm - 8oz milk

After school: 3:30pm - smoothie and a biscuit

Dinner: 5:30/6ish - small portion of whatever we're having, some fruit afterwards if he wants it, usually kiwi and grapes (his favourites)

Bed: 8:30pm - 8oz milk

Night waking: midnight - 5oz milk

Some days he eats the whole world, others he survives on milk and my sanity, Ive learned to just roll with it

My DS is very nearly 1 we are starting to switch to whole milk but he eats like a horse as well, today he had:

7am- 8oz of formula and a slice of toast and peanut butter (with the crusts cut off so just the inner bit)
10am- 2 little organix rice cake thingies while we were shopping
12.30pm- cheese sticks, ham and a couple of baby carrots then grapes and blueberries, with a cup of whole milk (about 5oz)
3pm- half my scone
5pm- ham broth (potatoes, carrots, barley, leeks, ham etc)
At 7pm ish he'll have another 8oz bottle of formula
He drinks water all day as well
He was 10kg when I got him weighed about a month ago but he's really tall for his age.
We were just saying the other day we feel like we are feeding him constantly but I don't think the can regulate their appetites as well so I suppose little and often is good really

Thank you all for sharing, I'm really trying not to stress about food and this has really helped.
