Acceptable tea for a one year old?

[ALMazing]

Just given DD ham, cheese cubes, bread and cucumber sticks for tea followed by a yoghurt and a peach.

A Certain Somebody professed surprise that this was all she was having. I thought it a perfectly acceptable Saturday night tea to be honest but what do you all think?

Fine tbh my 10yo often has something similar

Sounds fine to me. I usually try and do main meal at lunchtime, then it's usually just picnic tea as you describe, partic this time of year. DS is nearly 2 btw.

Sounds fine to me; my dds would have meals like that every meal if they could get away with it! I suppose it depends what she had for lunch though; if she'd only had a sandwich lunch then maybe not - but in that case, the same meal with a bowl of homemade veggie soup (or miso soup) would be fine too.

I think you've covered all of the major food groups there - that's my main criteria! DS calls that tea a snack plate and will have it if he's had a big lunch, has been to a party or is very tired. It's the only meal he ever has in the living room with the telly on.

DD is 20 months and I would give her the same but she would also have an Ella's organic pouch (she still likes the veggie ones, cold - puke)

I often dish this sort of thing up. It's fine.

I always decide by thinking 'Would I eat this' the answer is usually yes (but I'd want more)

So if you wouldn't eat it you DC's shouldn't have to (unless they asked for it)

Fine, dd(2) loves that kind of meal but she would have to have cherry tomatoes on it too as they are pretty much her favourite thing.

Oh my kids eat loads healthier than I do KM so that wouldn't work with me.

Nothing wrong with that meal. It doesn't matter whether it is cold food, if that was the problem that it is not a hot meal?

Well done for getting your DC to eat salad veg and sarnies, mine doesn't eat much if I dish up ssarnies and is not keen on salad.

Its called bits and bobs in my house and is perfectly acceptable.

Suggest that certain someone tries to do better !

sounds fine to me! my dd often has this type of tea, as she gets in from nursery starving and won't wait for me to cook something. She only really gets a cooked tea when i am not working - she's 22 mo.

I don't know much about 1 year olds, but I'd be happy with that, it covers the main food groups as well.

Sounds like most lunchtimes in our house as we tend to try to have main meal together at teatime. Just tend to think of it as a baby ploughmans.

I agree it covers all main food groups and if she eats it thats the main thing. Sounds to me like a nice tea and it doesnt matter if she hasnt had anything hot.

Absolutely fine. DD (23mths) has her main meal at lunchtime, so tea is always something like a sandwich, toast, sometimes scrambled egg or eggy-bread followed by a yogurt.

My kids (all three) have the 'snack tea' that you describe all the time... If it has 3 major food groups and at least 3 colours I'm happy (DS1 usually pipes up at this point 'what, like M&Ms, mum?')

We also often include: raisins, pine nuts or other nuts (not for the baby obv), sliced apple or pear, pitta bread, dried apricots, baby sweetcorn. The baby will eat asparagus too but not the older ones

Fine here too my DD1 favourite tea (especially if she has had a big lunch) she calls it her special salad (if she needs something more substantial with it will add some crackers with the cheese or a peanut butter sandwhich)...

Just what we do - DS normally has a cooked lunch (if we are at home otherwise tea and lunch are reversed) we call it 'bits' (ie what bits we can find in the fridge/cupboard.

Strong camomile just before bed. Beats sedimed etc.
Otherwise Rooibosh, green tea with a touch of honey, mint tea as a pick-me-up and ginger and honey when they're ill.

Fine, very healthy in fact!

Lovely tea imo. (my youngest dd is 10 months and would wolf that lot down no problem )

Yup, we call that a snack plate as well and it is DS's favourite dinner.

TBH he has it on most of the days that I work, as we get home at around 6ish and he is hungry right then and doesn't want to wait while I cook.
