20 months

Breakfast: wheatabix

Snack: biscuit and many strawberries

Lunch: picnic so she had some tinned mackerel, cottage cheese, tuna salad with olives and veg, chorizo, focaccia and humous.

Ice cream and a biscuit

Tea: gnocchi, peas and Parmesan.

A lot of cows milk

Do you cut your gnocchi up? My 4 year old and I love it but I’m a bit scared to give it to my 2 year old as when I gave her a bit to try quite a while ago it got stuck a few times in her throat, think it’s the texture. I did half slice it but would be good if she could eat it when we do too!

Breakfast 1 round of toast with marg
Lunch 2 crackers, a thick slice of cucumber 2 teaspoons of hummus 3-4 spoons oat yoghurt
Snack dairy free chocolate bar
Dinner spaghetti and pork Ragu with cannellini beans and sweet potato puree
Cup of oat milk

This was a very good day for us

  • 1x sausage and 1x fried egg
  • a small bowl of raspberries
  • a banana
  • 2x biscuits
  • 2x feta and spinach parcels, a few bites of a cheese and salad sandwich
