Hello my daughter is 14 months and I'm stuck in a rut giving her food for childminders. I tend to give her pesto pasta, blueberries raspberries cheese cubes and ham. She also has potato and veg straw snacks and what ever the childminder gives her. She refuses pouch food now, I think she wants to feed herself but struggling for finger foods other than sandwiches.

First time working mum, please don't hate. I have looked online at like Ella kitchen and stuff but half the stuff is fancy make it look pretty etc.

She will eat anything but it's hit and miss at the moment if she'll eat much at all.

TIA

pikelets are great, you can do several different toppings such as cream cheese and ham, pesto, mashed banana and peanut butter

rice cakes are also good, you can do similar toppings

Make up things like fish pie, cottage pie and portion up to take to the child minder in tubs?

Veg: sliced red pepper, cucumber sticks, avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, cooked carrot, broccoli, baby sweetcorn, green beans
Carbs: mini rice cakes (my Dd loved the marmite ones), strips of pitta bread, bits of oat cakes, mini breadsticks, boiled potato chunks, a little pot of Cheerios, a slice of malt loaf cut into cubes, torn up tortilla wrap, mini pizza
Protein: chopped up sausage (baked, not grilled as the skin would be too tough), cubes of tofu, hard boiled egg, torn up cooked chicken breast, tuna chunks, butterbeans, a little pot of cooked chickpeas, crab sticks

Thank you all really good suggestions. I had cooked a load of homemade food and frozen it in tubs but she refuses to be fed off a spoon anymore she is learning to do it herself but is spilling most of it. She's using finger foods but not getting loads each meal and is relying on boob to top up in evenings

It was only once a week, but my DD went to a nursery where we had to provide a packed lunch and when we went for a taster day we were there at lunch time so I got a good look at what most of the kids had. All around 12-18m

Most of them had some slices of meat such as ham or chopped chicken, some slices of cheese, crackers, veg such as cucumber, little tomatoes (cut up), pepper, thinly sliced carrots etc. or cooked veg like peas and sweetcorn, a pouch of yoghurt and fruit like blueberries or chopped grapes. All easy finger food that they could feed themselves
