what does your 14month old eat and drink in a typical day?

[hereitogesagain]

Just want to know if I am on the right lines.
Stuck on what to cook.
Am Bfing first and last thing and want to stop but unsure when to give cow's milk instead and how much.
So just wondered what other babies the same age were doing to give me a bit of a guide...

I can tell you about my 13 mo if you like (all timings are approximate!)
Today's food:
7.30am - water, raisin wheats (about 8) with splash of milk and lots of yoghurt, tinned peach slices (about 5)
9am - BF before nap
10.30 am - banana muffin (fairy cake size) and water.
12.30 pm - water, cream cracker with butter, piece of cheese, apple slices, raisins (rejected cucumber and carrot)
3pm - BF (cross and grumpy after nap in car)
3.30pm - oat biscuit
5pm - pasta with tuna and peas (threw most of this - usually eats loads), satsuma, water.
6.30pm - BF
Then there'll be at least 2 BF, possibly 3 (and has been much more at times!) during the night. Also water offered before each of these.
At CM twice a week she has a small cup of cow's milk with snacks instead of daytime BF.

She's going through a fussy phase at the moment and does seem to be eating a lot less than she used to - apparently very common after around 12 mo as they don't grow so fast. Seems odd as they're so much more active.

My DS is 14ish months.

On a typical day he would have a beaker of milk (about 6/7oz) with breakfast - shreddies with milk and a piece of fruit or toast around 7:30. Then a snack like a couple of rich tea biscuits and water around 10:30. A lunch of ham finger sandwiches with baby crisps and cucumber sticks and yoghurt for pud with water to drink around midday. Afternoon snack around 3pm, like some dried fruit, with water. Dinner of pasta in a tomato sauce, followed by fruit, with water to drink, about 5ish. Then a beaker of milk (6/7oz) with a story at bedtime around 7pm.

Hope that helps. Of course, there are days when he eats like that and days he doesn't!

Thanks.. that's really helpful. Hadn't thought of loads of those ideas. really grateful

My 13 mo today (according to my mother who looked after him):

7.30am: 6oz cup of formula, 1 blueberry ricecake

8.30am: fairly large bowl of Ready Brek made with full-fat cow's milk and half a chopped banana, finger foods of half a nectarine and half a pear. Water. Often steals some of my breakfast too...

Naps through morning snack time, his breakfast is so enormous anyway he doesn't need one usually.

1.30pm: 4 meatballs with a little tomato sauce, a homemade dessert of stewed apple with raisins. Water.

3.30pm 6oz cup of formula, my mum's mini ginger biscuit that came with her coffee (!)

5.30pm Slice of wholemeal toast with philadelphia cheese, carrot maize snack, the other half of nectarine (because he asked for it). Water.

7.30pm 6oz formula.

He doesn't have any milk overnight :)

To be honest this is a great day for him as sometimes he hardly eats a thing.

He usually has one bread-based meal (toast or sandwiches) and one hot meal, which is the way we eat as a family, too. I tend not to cook for him individually but come up with meals for us that I can try him on (not always easy, especially as he won't be spoon-fed). He also loves yoghurt and has it most days, and eats tons of fruit but hardly any veg. He'll eat pasta and noodles at nursery but not at home yet, weirdly!

I can recommend roasting sweet potato or butternut squash cut into sticks, my DS demolishes them.
Pasta/pesto/peas or pasta/tuna/peas seems like a standard for most kids and is quick to make. Also try spaghetti with some not too saucy bolognese or noodles with stirfry chicken and veg. At worst they'll just chuck it on the floor...
Bits of roast dinner?
I also resort to sausages or fishfingers from time to time, I expect they are a bit high in salt, but I think they are ok now and again.
