Is this diet ok for an 18 month old?

[cloudychance]

Having a mum guilt moment that I'm probably not feeding DC as healthily as I could be - I'm restarting today but can I get some tips or thoughts on this day of eating?

Breakfast
Yogurt pouch
Peanut butter on toast
Half a banana

Snack:
Strawberries
Aldi biscotti biscuit

Lunch:
Scrambled egg
Potato waffle
Cucumber sticks (probably won't eat but always offer!)
Grapes

Snack:
Wafer or some other baby snack food

Dinner:
Varies but sometimes a fresh ready meal from Little Dish, sometimes pasta and hidden vegetables bolognese, sometimes fish and veg?

To add she is incredibly fussy so I feel like it's hard to throw new food into the mix completely!

I mean it sounds fine to me. I’m sure some people will come along wailing about how you’re stuffing your child/nobody needed snacks back then/fruit is the work of the devil but it looks like a basically normal day of food. I’d probably have held back the yogurt and have it for a snack just because I find when my kids have too much offered at mealtimes it almost seems to put them off. But I don’t think it looks bad.

@Kanaloa yeah I'm fully prepared for a flaming as some people seem to have angelic DC that will eat everything lovingly made for them!

I'm really trying to cook from scratch more but it's reassuring to hear from someone this looks relatively normal! Good idea on yogurt, will keep that as a snack - and maybe swap from pouch to natural instead

I would be over the moon if my incredibly fussy DD ate that 😂
She is 19 months and refuses everything. I wouldn't worry OP - looks fine to me.

This looks really good to me. My 17 m o does similar but we also feed him a lot of berries and banana. I also feel guilty so try go give porridge for breakfast a few times a week. Mix it with cinnamon and mashed banana to make it nice.

Seems varied and fairly balanced to me! You could swap the yoghurt pouch for some plain Greek yoghurt if she'll have it? Maybe swap biscuits and wafers for oat crackers and breadsticks to reduce sugar?

Not bad at all.

Not that much dairy in there, little kids need a lot. Could you swap her afternoon baby snack for a Babybel cheese or some full-fat Greek yogurt?

The potato waffle is a bit junky I suppose - maybe switch that for a crumpet or something?

That looks like a great and varied diet to me

Why is a crumpet somehow better than a potato waffle? Are crumpets significantly healthier?

I wish my fussy 2 year old ate half of that, looks fine to me. I really wish we could male them eat. I'd cook from scratch a lot more if he actually eat it, it's so disheartening spending time on cooking and then it just being thrown on the floor.
