And how do you manage getting them to nursery? I work so he is full time but I have to get up in the morning , feed and dress him and walk him round...

My toddler ate his main 3 meals a day at nursery as He was also.in full time. At home he ate fruit, toast cereals etc, nothing with a particularly strong smell though.

Mornings we're particularly rough, I used to get up earlier than usual as getting us both ready, plus making beds etc was such a mammoth effort. I'm 38 weeks now and so glad to be on mat leave.

Making beds 😆 What is that?!

My husband brought me ginger biscuits in bed then I got up and did breakfast. The children got toast, yoghurt and fruit. Their evening meal tended to be plain fusilli, julienne carrots, cucumber, pepper, cherry tomato and celery with grated cheese or ham. They preferred that to a vomiting mother.

I have tried ginger biscuits first thing, no help. Plain pasta and cheese with salad things sounds like a plan - alternating with cereal. He gets meals at nursery but eats in the evening too - at least I don't have to worry he's getting enough food overall.

My kids are older so were much easier to manage during the hellish first 18 weeks, god bless them. However, they've eaten so much rubbish through this pregnancy (which has coincided with much building work at home) I'm seriously considering bulk buying multi vitamins and force feeding them vegetables for every single meal, once I have a functioning kitchen and oven again!

Have you tried salt crackers in the mornings instead of ginger biscuits? They seemed to work a lot better for me.
No help regarding toddler foods though as this is my first pregnancy but my mum suffered hugely with HG and had 3 toddlers on her last pregnancy. We ended up with a lot of fruits and raw veg and sandwiches apparently. Occasionally beans on toast.

I had extreme morning sickness in my first trimester. I had a lot of cramping and headache as well. Before getting out of my bed, I was eating some plain unsalted popcorn and drinking No to morning sickness tea helped easing my sickness!

Salted crackers are what I'm living on Grin fridge is stocked full of potential food - tinned peaches, jelly, dried apricots, random soft drink, plus cheerios are a go to. I just need to get enough down and keep it down to keep alive for a month I hope, Now I have to get this 2 yr old to nursery....

Pasta and sauce, beans on toast, chopped up veg, sandwiches, soup and toast etc

Anything easy!!!

I'm currently living off oat cakes, apples, maybe a bit of cheese and diet ginger ale. Oh, and cyclazine!!!

It's truly grim. The struggle is real sisters

Toast!

I was ill last week and couldn't face food prep so drove to M&S petrol station and bought 'picnic lunch' and basically allowed the toddler to graze on beige food and fruit for the day!

Cereal, toast or porridge for breakfast or sometimes she has fruit, nuts and yogurt, whatever you can easily pull out and put on a plate. For dinners, filled fresh pastas are good (like tortelloni stuffed with cheese and either spinach or ham/sausage, I get the Tesco ones) as they have a mix of carbs, protein and even veg if you get the spinach ones with cheese and peas. Otherwise, I just had a lot of help as my husband is around mornings for breakfast and for prepping dinner, so I just made him do it when I couldn't.

They ate a lot of sandwiches and raw veg like cucumber sticks and carrots. They loved it!
