My child is 18 months old and was good with food for a while but then seemed to get picky around about 1 and it seemed easier to serve up sausages every night knowing it would actually be eaten. Does this sound like enough food?
Breakfast - porridge made with almond milk (one Flahavans scoop which is 15g of oats and 2 scoops of milk), plus some frozen blueberries, half a mashed banana and a tablespoon of Greek yogurt. Usually eats all of it.
Lunch - 1/4 tin of beans, a slice of seedy toast, a few slices of cheese, a gherkin. Then grapes or other fruit. Will often only eat half the toast but pretty much everything else.
Afternoon snack - grapes or some dried apricots and a rich tea biscuit. I usually eat an apple at this point too and she'll gnaw away at the core until it nearly disappears.
Dinner - one sausage or small amount of mince. Very small amount of pasta. Peas and sweetcorn. Would rarely eat even half of what she's served. We're talking 2tbsps of food max.
Pudding - Greek yog and frozen berries. Usually eaten.
Milk - she has 100ml of Alpro 1-3+ milk before bed and would sometimes have another 100ml in the morning after breakfast but not always.
Writing it all down it doesn't seem so bad? Maybe a bit fruit heavy? Worried about portion size and whether it's enough. She's petite, only 9th centile and doesn't weigh 9kg. Don't want to stunt her very limited growth any further! Any tips of getting her to eat more at dinner time very welcome! She sleeps through the night and can wait up to an hour after waking for breakfast without getting too cranky which makes me think maybe it's ok?
