D - No idea yet! Totally out of ideas!
-
Bb, chicken, mango and pasta salad, what salad does your lo eat?
-
Well tbh it is really just chicken pasta and mango drizzled in Olive oil! I guess I could put red pepper and cucumber strips if I had any to make it more salady!
Just been done the shops and bought fillet steak for olly tonight! He will have it in strips with sweet pot wedges and veg
-
Fillet steak! Wow. Harry wouldn't know what to do with a piece of steak I'm dead impressed!!!
-
Don't be too impressed - he didn't eat it! I bought fillet as I thought it would be soft enough for him to eat but clearly it wasn't. Chalk that up to experience ::)
-
Never mind, did u have it?
We are doing terrible here, today was the worst day ever!
B: 6oz milk, bowl of museli.

Supper: dp fed him ready brek mixed with a rusk....gladly he ate it with s bit of a fuss.
Yikes! Teeth erupting and causing bother me thinks! :-(
-
Yep it was only ok though. Thought it would nice and soft but wasn't. That def sounds like teeth. I find with olly he won't eat even if mashed up too.
-
U reckon, thanks for reassurance. I'm posting on another thread along with others about it. :-)
-
Lots of ideas for my picky little man (16 months):

L: Sausage (half), cucumber slices, bite of omlette (wouldn't touch anything else :-(
D: planning on meatballs, macaroni pasts (cooked but dry) and cheese cubes

Everything has to be finger food for him, always running out of ideas.
-
B: 1 pancake, yogurt, blueberries and strawberries
S: Cheerios & raisins
L: 1/4 large tortilla, 1/2 clementine, cabbage roll stirfry
Lilly- I used to mix all kinds of stuff into mashed potatoes or mashed sweet potatoes and mix in an egg and spices and then bake them in the oven into 'pancakes' (350 F for about 20-30 minutes or until set. I used parchment paper to prevent sticking and froze extras.) DS loved them and I could use up leftovers and veggies and all kinds of stuff and they were really easy for him to pick up and eat...
-
Thats a fab idea, thank you. Will try that tomorrow.
x
-
What a great idea Whatbit - altho I'd need a non egg binding ingredient.....??
We are still have rubbish feeding, day 9 of it now with occasional good day. And now we have a fever after a day of poor eating and refluxing....sigh!
-
hi, chiming in.....we have rubbish eating for the last few days, and could do with someone telling me this is enough for a 2.5yo to live off.....or if i need to set up a night drip for him!
yesterday:
B- 1/2 slice toast with olive spread and jam, cranberries (dried)
S- 2 digestive biscuits
L- 1/2 piece bread with ham and ketchup, 10 hula hoops 1 fruit stick snack
S- banana in supermarket trolley
D- boiled egg (ate 1/2) and muffin strips (did not want), jelly
OK so on paper it doesnt look so bad, but it feels like he is just snacking his way through the day. Asking for puddings/treats/snacks all day and not actually eating proper food. Last proper dinner was sunday night when he ate 1/2 a kids portion of roast dinner (ate 1 slice roast parsnip, 5 cubes roast chicken, few bites of broccoli, and 1/2 a potato.)
Dont think it helps that he has a cough and snotbag nose, and last 2 molars are teething too. Maybe i should go easier on the little guy.....
Lilixx
-
Wow lilli, sounds like your lo has a lot to contend with right now with molars and cold. My lo is only 16mo so not sure what to say about a 2.5 yr old but my sid in law has child same age as yours and she eats very little at each meal sitting and asks for snacks thru the day. My sis in law has given ip forcing the issue and just goes with flow and her lo is in good health and growing and very active etc......
-
I'm going to try to contribute to this board every once in a while. Lili - not sure what 'normal' should be, but it does seem like your LO isn't eating very much? I've always considered DD to be a light eater (and picky too), but here is what she ate today (amounts are.. of course, approximate):
B: 1-2 oz rice/oatmeal cereal, 1/2 clementine orange, 3 mini wheats, 1/4 pancake w/honey
L1 (before nap): 4 bites rice/oat cereal, nibbled at carrot, 1/4 banana, 1 bite cheese stick, refused broccoli, cucumber, strawberries
L2 (after nap): 1/2 pancake w/PB&J, 2 oz strawberries, 1 oz kiwi, refused green beans
D: 1 oz green beans, 1 oz broccoli, 5 oz pasta w/parm cheese, 3 oz strawberry yogurt, spinach (raw)
It LOOKS like DD eats a lot.. but in reality she just pecks around and doesn't eat a lot of anything. ::)
-
i know he doesnt eat much! he's on the 8th centile, has followed this from birth so not too worried really.
yesterday was better he had
B: half a teacake with olive spread
S: 1 biscuit and juice
L: 1/4 adult size chicken and bacon club sanwich and about 15 grapes
S: 2 mini gingerbread men (sugar free)
D: 2 vegetable fingers and peas with ketchup (offered dessert, and he said he was full!)
10oz milk through the day.
TBH its the milk i'm trying to cut. In the mornings he has a little beaker of soy milk (been on since 7 months for MPI, now down to 4oz). Not interested in juice or anything else other than "his" milk
In the evenings, he likes a beaker before bed, have dropped this down to 6oz. trying to get it even lower down to 4. But obviously I am aware that with the lack of dairy in his diet, that other sources of calcium etc are sparce.
-
Lili-
Quick questions... b/c I'm curious - what is a teacake and what are vegetable fingers? :)
Also.. as far as the milk goes, my doctor wants Nora to get 12-16 oz per day (that was his recommendation at 1 yr and 15 mo) - that is JUST MILK not including cheese, yogurt, etc. So... IMO, 10 oz doesn't seem excessive.. especially for a kid that doesn't eat much to begin with?
Finally... 8th% isn't bad as long as he's still growing (following his 'own' curve). :D Good luck!
-
teacake is like a fruity bread roll. Also called hot cross buns round easter. Veg fingers are pre made pop in the toaster type breadcrumbed mixed veg shapes. They have about six veggies in but all chopped up. Look like fish fingers or mozzerella sticks
-
Veggie fingers sound interesting... I wonder if there's an American equivalent? :)
Here was today's eating (teething molars pretty bad, using consistent meds to keep her from screaming):
B: shredded wheat, 1/4 orange (refused rice/oat cereal and strawberries)
L: 1/2 PB&J, 6 pieces of kiwi, 4 pieces mango, 1 bite grilled cheese
S: rice chex, couple bites of banana, 2 bites pretzel
D: apple/chix puree (4 oz), oatmeal/rice cereal (2 oz), bites of kiwi - refused broccoli, yogurt, cheesy pasta, fruit
Typically dinner is our big meal of the day.. and she just wasn't interested? Probably had too many rice chex! ::)
-
Been ages - hi everyone! : )
Yesterday..
B - pancake with nutella and banana, yoghurt covered raisins, water
S - white choc buttons, water, grapes
L - vegetable and chickpea curry and rice, 1 sausage, strawberries and mini iced cupcake, water
S - date and banana bar, oatcake, apple juice
Tea - hot X bun, yoghurt, water
Supper - cheerios and milk
-
Been ages for us too. Not so bad yesterday,
b was 4 oz oatmilk plus jam crumpet and small bowl baby museli plus grapes
lunch 1 was half portion of veggie pasta before nap
lunch 2 remaining half portion of veggie pasta plus peach
dinner was corned beef hash and grapes followed by one whole banana 30 mins later
supper - small portion of rice pudding plus 3 oz oat milk
lots of soft foods at mo due to molars I think....
-

rubbish at the moment with us, more teeth i think. He's just grazing at the moment and trying to master the fork !! ::)
-
Hi everyone, DS turned 1 last Thursday so I can "officially" follow along on this board if you don't mind! At the moment, he is being very particular about what he will eat (teething molars). Going to try out some new things today and will post anything interesting we have success with.
-
My LO goes to school during the day, so here's what she had for dinner:
Macaroni and cheese, half a navel orange, green beans, frosted shortbread cookie
A quick story: In the past 7 months, I've picked up frosted cookies from Panera Bread as a treat for Chandler three times. The first time was in October, and it was a pumpkin shape, the next time was Valentine's day, so it was pink. Yesterday was the third time, and it was a yellow easter egg shape. Chandler took one bite into the easter egg cookie, and exclaimed, "Just like pumpkin cookie! Just like pink cookie! Mmmmmm!" I was shocked. I can't believe my child can remember--in the parade of cookies she has eaten since October--the other two cookies she has ever eaten that taste the same as this cookie! It's not like we were at the bakery or there was any other association with the treat. It was purely the taste.
-
Clever Chandler! : )
B - toast and PB, yoghurt and grapes, water
S - oatcakes grapes and 1 banana, water
L - Vegetable and chickpea curry and rice, piece of friends chocolate birthday cake, water
No snack just apple juice
Tea - toasted hot cross bun and butter, 1 ricecake, marmite breadsticks, juice
Refused supper
-

brekkie: few cheerios

-
can i join in..i need ideas snacks
-
I am back on here after a while as DS is losing weight and just seems to want to eat all day so am looking for comparisons/ideas. I am pg at very lazy so really want some easy meals too.
Today
B: few wotsits (he found a half eaten packet and I just said ok - bad mama) and banana pancakes with honey and nutella dip and an apple
S: crunchy nut cornflakes and 1/2 a tracker bar
L: pitta and humous, satsuma
S: 1/2 a pear and 1/2 a banana
D: shepherds pie with peas and carrots, strawberries, then chicken balls and noodles from our takeaway. Diluted OJ.
I realise now I have written it down what a bitty day it has been. I hope it will be better tomorrow.
-
Big eating day (for us anyway) here:
B: banana; two bites whole grain waffle
S: fresh fruit blended with apple juice, water and spinach
L: entire grilled cheese sandwich (on multigrain) with crusts cut off
S: more of above fruit shake
D: chicken noodle soup (with lots of carrots and celery), greek yogurt
-
Okay I am going to jump back on because I need new ideas.
Breakfast: 1 whole pear, refused oatmeal, bits of dh's muffin
Snack: None
Lunch: 5 baby carrots and 1/2 of a peanut butter sandwitch
Snack: goldfish and milk
Dinner: refused meatballs, some spinach pancake and some squash, yogurt, some of a rice crispy treat (out)
-
Brennasmommy - how do you make a spinach pancake? Do you add spinach puree or are there bits of spinach in it? It sounds good! This could be a good way for me to get some greens into DS since he seems to only favor orange veggies at this point (we are in VERY picky period).
Yesterday DS ate (in addition to 16 oz of formula):
Breakfast - strawberry, pear, and cereal puree, some scrambled eggs
Snack - 3 oz veggie/fruit juice
Lunch - container of yogurt mixed with peach and squash puree, bits of meatloaf
Snack - milk and puffs
Dinner - pureed mac and cheese (with carrots and broccoli), 1 1/2 chicken nuggets, a few more bits of meatloaf
Most of our days look like this because he is teething and seems to only be sticking to favorites at this point.
-
Samsmommy the spinach pancake is made by dr. preggors and you can usually find them in the frozen foods section of your grocery store. They are all natural and the make a broccoli one that dd loves also.
-
WE have made spinach pancakes with puree before. I can imagine K not liking whole bits in there.
Today for us.
B: 1 slice jam on toast, few bites of apple
S: few more wotsits (from the same bag as yesterday), 1/2 a hot cross bun with butter, 1/2 a small banana
L: few bites of each - pitta, humous, tomato, turkey breast, 1/3 of a donut (which he has started calling "deedees" because I was trying to spell the word so he wouldn't know what I was talking about!)
S: banana museli with cow's milk
D: beef and mushroom sagg masala with carrots, rice, bombay potatoes (only a few mouthfuls potatoes as I made them too spicy)
S: 3/4 crumpet with marmite
-
beef and mushroom sagg masala
CORRR sounds delish ;D
-
It was yummy!
-
Was it a slow cooked dish or did you use a steak beef?
-
I cooked the beef in stock for an hour before making the main dish so it was lovely and soft. Hmmm.
-
I didn't post yesterday since we went to a 2nd birthday party and so K ate a load of rubbish!
Today: (got up at 10am and in bed by 6.25 so no time for snacks)

L: turkey and brown pickle baguette, few crisps, tuna mayo, few bites victoria sandwich

-
Our weekend was a big mess but here is todays:

Lunch: Peanut butter on raisin bread, squash and strawberries (only thing she finished was the pb on the bread)
Dinner: meatballs (refused), squash (couple bites) spinach pancake (couple bites)
-
It is so frustrating when you prep a nice meal and they bearly touch it isn't it?
-
It is really frustrating! Thats what got me into this mess with her eating b/c I started making only what she would eat b/c I hate wasting food but that doesn't work for real life so we are back to the drawing board :)

Hmmm, thought I'd join in today as am looking for inspiration too - does anyone know how to make a nice rice dish south Asian like rice and potatoes or perhaps palaw (with lamb) or east Asian style with eggs maybe?I try and fail but LO loves them and so do I?

I was reading that at 2yo they can start having more wholemeal stuff and less fat so have switched to 50/50 bread (made with 1/2 wholemeal, 1/2 white flour) and semi-skimmed milk. K is getting quite chunky and whilst there is more rubbish in his diet than is ideal I hope this will also help.
I find it hard that I spend alot of time with my sister and she lets her kids eat lots of things I wouldn't normally let DS eat but feel mean saying no when they are eating it in front of him. I do limit it at home.
-
Hey there girls, I've been off this thread for a while now, but feel I really need to start tracking what ds eats, as I fear he's lacking in the fruits and veggies department, so will be tagging along for encouragement and inspiration :)
-
This helps me to keep on track with healthy eating seeing it in blackand white.
B: Crunchy nut corn flakes and an apple
S: 1/2 a weetabix
L: 1/2 chicken sandwich, some prawn cocktail crisps, cheese and crackers

Snack: more Cheerios and a chocolate chip muffet (out shopping)
Lunch: Pizza (still shopping)
Snack: Yogurt tube
Dinner: Cheese burger pie, broccoli pancake, grapes
She actually tried a bite of the cheeseburger pie but she spit it out. Dh was dissapointed but I was pretty pleased she actually tried it being as she never tries anything new to her. She ate the crust and nothing else for dinner. Baby steps right?
-
So here's what Adam had for the day:
Breakfast : Cheese spread sandwich with a cup of milk
Lunch : Meatballs with pasta
Snack : he was as MIL, so had a variety of things, mainly a few mouthfuls of chicken and pasta, and mangoes

Snack: picked alittle more at leftover lunch

Wow I can't believe how much everyone eats in one meal....my ds had scrambled eggs and apples/banana organic fruit squeeze for breakfast. Planning on turkey o. Wheat bread for lunch and mixed veggie with turkey meatballs for dinner. Where does everyone live? Anyone from the u.s.? Just curious with all the different food choices
-
Yeah my LO is eating loads at the mo but I think it's a growth spurt. Generally though I tend to offer him it all and he doesn't take everything.
-

Curry looks good! What kind of paste did you use for it? Pataks korma or similar??
-
Pataks mild but korma would work.

AH, didn't know they did a mild, that would work great for kiddies then!
-
Yeah it's really tasty too - not too bland!

-
Love reading what everyone feeds their LOs. Melissa don't worry too much about how much your DD eats, C was exactly the same and she has really only just got a decent appetite within the last month. Now I can't fill her up, she finishes her meal/snack and says "more" before her mouth is empty!

The risotto looks good LT. Great tip on making stock in the slow cooker too. I never make my own stock as I don't like the smell or the scum so this would prob be good for me as you say I could just sieve it :)
-
Yeah, works a treat. There is still the smell but I think it smells like Christmas making stock. Come to think of it at Christmas my slow cooker is going to be working overtime. I'll probably make stock on the 23rd for the gravy, maybe red cabbage (to reheat later) on the 24th and then I'll reheat my Christmas Pudding in it on Christmas day, all without using a ring on the cooker! Result!
-
Just jumping in as I wean DD off of her beloved purees :) I make just over half of her purees, and use jars when I am being really lazy.
Wake - bottle
Breakfast - oatmeal and half jar of pears, Cheerios
Snack - Cheerios, Gerber puffs, yogurt drops (she screamed for a snack!)
Snack - cheese, chicken, banana (DH and I were eating lunch and she was starving again!)
Bottle/nap
Lunch - homemade puree of yam/mixed veggies, half of an oat/fruit granola bar
Snack - more Cheerios (this kid must be growing!)
Dinner - scrambled egg with cheese, half jar of apple/plum puree
Bottle/bed
I have no idea what the heck was with her today - she was eating ALL DAY! She is generally a picky eater who doesn't consume much - must be a GS!

-
WOW, this is a great thread. Can I ask how old your lo's are? My little man is 11 months and I've recently been wondering if his diet is a little bland. I'm sticking to the same foods and want to experiment a little...
-
My son is 19 months but he's been eating mild curries and stuff with flavour since around 9 months. At 11 months I'd definitely be more adventurous!
-
Good to see you here BC. My boys are 2.5 and 8.5mo. I have been on this thread since DS1 was 10mo as he was eating very grown up food and I needed some ideas. We were also doing family by then including curry, chilli and lots of strong flavours.
Today:
B: wheatabix and apple sauce and chopped banana.
S: Spelt biscuit
L: Spinach, apples and swede. Tuna and ricotta filled pasta
D: Chicken fried rice, duck pancakes, sweet potato and carrot. Strawberries.
-
Hi BC, My son is 2 next week but as you can see from my profile we are on a fairly restricted diet plus he is very fussy! Why don't you post on the board for some advice and ideas?
-
Thanks Ladies, I think I will post and begin to watch your posts a little more clearly for ideas, if that's okay?
B: Raisin Wheats followed by 2 x Plums
S: Spelt Biscuit
He has currently fallen asleep bf so hasn't had lunch yet!
This is a great thread.
-
B: Rice krispies, clementine, crumpet with unsalted butter
S: Sultanas, clementine (kept saying "orange, orange!"), apple and milk
L: Some bread (couldn't wait), home made chicken tikka (mild) http://mamacook.blogspot.com/2012/01/easy-chicken-tikka-for-babies-and.html, dahl and rice followed by some clementine (on request!), some home made muffins and some dried apricot.
S: Will be some sultanas and maybe something else (we're going out and about)
D: Will be beef stew and vegetables I think followed by more fruit and muffins from the freezer.
-
Hi Lemonthyme, Just making some of your savoury muffins for my little man for tomorrow. Really silly question, how should they be stored? Also if I freeze them, when I want to use them do I just defrost them at room temperature? Thanks ever so!
-
I just put them in an airtight tin or box, they're fine for a couple of days like that, if I'm keeping them longer, I freeze them. If you freeze them, either defrost at room temperature for a couple of hours or defrost in the microwave on defrost setting but be careful as they might need to cool down again for a minute or so afterwards. Hope they're a hit!
-
Given that little man is in bed, I've had to test on his behalf...yum yum yum... I put slightly too much apple in I think but I reckon they'll be a hit! Thank you. I've signed up to your blog - it's fantastic!
-

-
one bite of peanut butter and sweet potato sandwich (it sounds weird, but I have to sneak veggies in however I can, won't touch them otherwise)
I think we all sneak things into sandwiches ;) DD had a yogurt/avocado combo today for lunch ;)
Here is our day so far after being ill for a few days with no appetite -
B: 1/4 cup baby cereal, 3 grapes, 2 small cubes of cheddar cheese, water
S: one bite scrambled egg, a few bites of English muffin with fruit spread (baby fruit pouch), a few grapes
L: small sandwich with avocado/yogurt, a few grapes (see a trend with the grapes?!), 8 oz bottle 30 mins later
S: not awake from her nap, but will be small - maybe a fruit bar/cheese
D: will be chicken/veggies/pasta - she will eat like a horse for the most part at this one meal.
And then a bedtime bottle of 8 ozs.
DD will not take milk from her sippy so we still have a couple bottles of formula each day...
-
I wish I could sneak things into her sandwitches after the first bit she takes it apart if she finds something she doesn't like.
B: Cheerios and milk, 1/2 an apple
S: @ school so probably water and some sort of cracker
L: cup of milk and a peanut butter and jelly sandwitch
S: None as she got up late from nap
D: 4 homemade chicken nuggets, 6 carrots, 1 chocolate chip cookie
-
B. Cornflakes with coconut milk
S. Plum
L. Banana and grapes
S. English muffin with marmite
D. Cereal and some apple.
He was offered a more balanced diet but this is what he ate. Guess he needed carnal today.
-
Yesterday -

S: rest of milk from breakfast
L: yogurt with peach and squash puree, quarter of peanut butter and sweet potato sandwich
S: few sips of fruit smoothie, other quarter of pb and sweet potato sandwich

-
Joining back in ladies as I really need inspiration for lunches. We tend to have the same kind of things over and over and I need some new ideas. Today C has had...
B - Readybrek and bananas
S -Blueberries
L - Cheese on toast, carrot sticks, fruit yogurt.
S - rice cakes, kiwi fruit
T - Fish, mashed potato and peas, chocolate mousse.
-
I feel like we are in a rut with food too... it's just so tiring to make things and her not like them... seems that it's easier to just give her what i know she will eat.. must expose to new things!
B: baby oatmeal and applesauce
S: grapes/cheese
L: avocado/yogurt sandwich and orange segments
S: seems to be skipping this snack now but will offer crackers/fruit
D: will be pasta/veggies tonight
-
That's been one of the great things about having a blog, it encourages me to have more variety and try something new.
My general rule is to introduce something new for the first time at lunchtime to then have something safe in the evenings. Those sleepless nights as a baby still seem alarmingly close.
-
Yesterday:
Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled with pureed cauliflower, piece of turkey bacon, strawberries (breakfast is clearly the best meal of the day), some orange juice
Snack: milk, cheerios
Lunch: half of peanut butter and sweet potato sandwich, fruit/veggie juice
Snack: peach, avocado, and zucchini smoothie (a few sips and then threw it!), crackers - I think the problem with the smoothie was the tiny green specks of zucchini skin. He accepts them in scrambled eggs, but I think was freaked out by them in the smoothie ::)
Dinner: Chicken fingers (WHAT A SURPRISE), bites of potato, blackberries, milk
Kara - I LOVE your idea of avocado and yogurt on a sandwich. I've always paired it with cream cheese and it is hit or miss. Since he loves yogurt, this should be a winner!!
-
Not sure I can keep up with this thread, but DS isn't a super eater...and most of what I'll end up typing will be "attempts" rather than what he actually eats. I am also looking for some inspiration. Also, it's really annoying working and not knowing what DH and my mom feed him during the day.
Today was something like:
Bottle: half formula/half whole milk (dairy trial as per GI) 8 oz.
Breakfast: blueberry waffle
Snack: unsure
Bottle: again half and half (no idea what TIME he had this bottle during the day)
Lunch: baby oatmeal mixed with applesauce? I think or something like that.
Snack: unsure
Dinner: Piece of cheese (ate two bites, then spit out the rest) yogurt with oatmeal mixed in (ate two bites, spit out the rest), leftover "lunch" oatmeal/applesauce mix (took two bites and spit out the rest) --I only kept offering food b/c he was screaming and whining as if hungry, but wasn't keen on anything offered. I was cooking chicken, salsa, corn, black beans, rice and cream cheese one pot dish for me and DD....offered some of that when it was finished....again, took two bites and then refused any more. While he was screaming, I gave those baby PUFF snacks....which he devoured. UGH. Then he continued to fuss until I gave in and gave him a bottle.
He would live on cheerios, puffs, and some fruits ALL day.
He is not very interested in pasta, rice, meats, beans, fish, eggs....tends to try them and then spit them out.
I'm tired of the spitting out. :(
-
Today went like this:
Breakfast: Waffle and Pears
Snack: I don't think anything?
Lunch: Grilled cheese, strawberries, sweet potatoes (only really ate the grilled cheese) Milk
Snack: Cheerios
Dinner: Peanut butter on raisin bread, 1/2 a banana and some carrots, yogurt

so we are back here again after a month of good eating!
Picky toddler has arrived ;) I have heard that there is a big drop in appetite around 18 months...
Breakfast - half a pear and a small handful of Cheerios
Snack - piece of toast and a few mouthful of yogurt
Lunch - three snack crackers with peanut butter (soy based substitute with very similar nutritional profile to the real thing), a few bites of cheddar cheese, two strawberries
Snack - half of a graham wafer, few grapes
Dinner - refused what I made (chicken/yams) had a few bites of broccoli, managed to convince her to have a half serving of baby oatmeal and a half of a baby food pouch of veg/fruit mix.
I hate teething.

I'm so sad because I was so excited that DS was eating new things - ie pizza and mac n cheese, but his BMs have been runny and he has terrible diaper rash so I'm hoping that we're not coming upon yet another food intolerance (ie soy). Unless it's just that his body is used to one set of foods and now that he's eating others it's throwing him off. Also coming off of a virus so it could be that too. Sigh.

Audrey is often not a big breakfast person but she had a couple of spoons of porridge, like 10 Cheerios, a couple bites of banana
Lunch she had a big portion of spinach (wilted in butter), egg-fried rice, a couple of dried apricots and a pear.
For dinner she had a portion of 'egg roll in a bowl' (ground pork cooked up with a ton of fine diced/grated veggies with asian spices) over egg noodles. Ate loads and had a second helping. And then a little bowl of natural yoghurt (full fat) with a squirt of strawberry/peach puree in.

-
well- i wasn't at home today- but yesterday he had:
breakfast: 2 mandarins
Morning tea: 2 weetbix and milk, and half a cup of milk (maybe less) (he requested the weetbix!)
Lunch: piece of toast with vegemite- as offerred cheese but didn't eat it
Afternoon tea: Sandwich with gluten free bread (that's my mum's doing ::) apparently wheat will kill you) mashed banana, chicken and unsalted peanut butter
Late afternoon: yoghurt- natural with some fruit
Dinner- wasn't there... so i THIN?K he ate a sausage with some tomato sauce... but cant be certain.
Then he had a yoghurt iceblock and a small piece of chocolate. :-[ it's easter...
He went to mum's for the afternoon yesterday- hence the sandwich. Usually with me he tends to graze all day. We are often out too so he has little bits here and there. I usually offer fruit, cheese, yoghurt, toast with vegemite cut into shapes like dinosaurs and puzzles.
Another favourite snack to graze on is steamed carrot rounds... they sometimes go down a treat!
-
ooh good ideas for my baby...steamed carrots that's a good one for a snack since they are naturally sweet. DD loves peas too.
i am pretty much running out of food at my house but my DS was home sick last 2 days so not able to run to store.
our day has just begun but so far she has had:
Breakfast: BF, cheerios in milk (trying to get her to use a spoon - somewhat successful!), dried blueberries, hard boiled egg
lunch: i'm going to makes some spinach like anna since i have some i need to use up! thx for that idea! ...the egg roll in a bowl sounds delish!
dinner: we are going out to eat for DH's bday
katy - DD figured out quickly how to open easter eggs and ate a peanut butter egg under her grandad's watch! so i guess no point in me delaying peanut butter anymore! need to give her another taste to make sure she is not allergic (my DS has a tree nut allergy)
-
So far he's had:
B: Dry Rice Krispies multigrain and a cup of milk (he's going through a dry cereal phase)
Refused snack (breakfast was late, he didn't get up till 7!!!)
L: Home made pizza, he chose and put on the toppings (sweetcorn and prawns) http://mamacook.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/wholemeal-pizza-for-whole-family-loads.html
He's gone to a party with his Daddy this afternoon so he'll be filling up on rubbish and I'm not sure if he'll want tea but if he does I'm making him a pork mini meatloaf with pesto in it (recipe soon) as I figure it will probably be good cold tomorrow if he doesn't want it today.

nuala - do you make your own muesli? ive never made it before
ya'lls menus sound good. wish you could fee me!
-
Yes, I do - my mum always did, so I just roughly follow what she did. It's basically (I don't measure) 5-6 parts oats to one part each of wheatgerm and oatbran. We like it toasted, so I mix a little honey in oil, heat it (makes it go further, so you don't need as much) and mix it through the oats etc, then toast in a moderate oven for about 20 -30 mins, stirring every now and again. After it's toasted I add extras: raisins, apricots, chopped almonds and cashews, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, coconut, bran flakes or whatever I have of the above. And I sometimes add flaxseed as I serve it. F loves it!
Today was not such a brilliant day - weekends we're often out and about so not so many veges!
B: muesli, nibble of toast with peanut butter.
s: banana
L: out at an Indian restaurant, so mostly rice and naan ::) A bit of dhal and fish curry.

I feel like F hasn't been eating a lot of veges lately, and I think it's partly my fault for not preparing as complete meals recently when I've been so knackered. Have to be a bit more proactive about offering them in interesting ways, as well as hiding more for insurance!

Going to jump on to see if I can keep things going, and help myself see if I can get a better overall pic of what I am feeding my little man! He is unable to have milk, soy, oatmeal, eggs, and peanuts with varying reactions so there are still often times that he doesn't eat the exact same as the rest of the family but slowly changing that (despite my intense dislike for cooking and baking). As well he is still getting 2 bottles of Neocate formula/day
So yesterday:
B: rice crispies with rice milk, pear and banana chunks
L: steamed cauliflower, bread (only a couple of bites of steamed carrots then tossed them on the floor)
S: rice cracker
D: bean burger, bread, steamed carrots and corn
-
B: pancakes and pear chunks
L: bread with hummus, steamed cauliflower and peas
S: strawberry and blueberries
D: refused chilli (first time having it), so then given a piece of bread and some shreddies
-
B: Shreddies followed by some of my croissant
S: Refused
L: Scrambled eggs on bagel (apple refused)
S: Refused
D: Sausage, roasted sweet potato and peas followed by custard
Not the healthiest day!
-
we have been OOT and my poor DD ate a bunch of junk. makes me feel so awful! she also loves french fries which i dont' give to her she steals them and my MIL will give them to her grrr. my DD is not liking meat much these days. she rarely will eat chicken and never ground beef. i can get her to eat a sandwich with meat though?
anyway, we just got back so i have no groceries. she will prob get oatmeal tomorrow morning. she loves feeding herself with a fork or spoon these days as well.
does anyone feed their LOs green beans? (fresh, not canned) i can not get them cooked enough that she can eat them. she stuff several in her mouth and i will be pulling them out 30 minutes later. she also loves raw carrots but can't chew them obviously! (she is just getting her molars in). i thought i could try to slice them very thin?
she loves all fruit, esp blueberries but it is harder to get veggies in. she does love peas and lima beans (assuming legume, not a veggie!).
i always forget about your blog LT!
-
Yesterday was
B: soft boiled egg, salami, toast. Fruit, can't remember what.
S: half apple, cracker
L: bowl of noodles with egg, prawn and seaweed. Two pieces of sushi.
S: Offered coconut and banana, don't think she ate any though.
D: Falafel wrap w hummus, tomato, carrot, lettuce. Banana custard tart (refined sugar free)
Heather, my LO used to eat green beans - she would have at that age. Ok, so sometimes it was just sucking all the goodness out of them, but she did generally swallow some too. We're going through an on-off phase with vegies atm - sometimes she will eat them, sometimes she'll go several days refusing any. She won't usually touch salad BUT will in a wrap, I have discovered - so long as it's very well wrapped so nothing is falling out! Have you tried grating the carrot? Raw carrot is a complete no-go here unless grated...and in a wrap.
-
Have had a bit of cold over here so don't know if it is that but he didn't really eat much the last few days. Just a couple of bite of this or that. Yesterday was a little more normal.
B: pancakes, banana
L: steamed broccoli, bread with hummus
S: puffed wheat, strawberries
D: bean burgers, mixed veggies
Not the healthiest day!
Your day sounds just fine by my standards, lol ;)
Neither of my LOs have never really eaten green beans. I think it is maybe how I offer them?? It isn't a vegetable that we have often as part of our meals though, and I never had them often as a child so yet another reason? As for carrots what I will do for DS2 is steam them and offer the leftovers cold the next day. They are great for when we have park picnics! DS1 never liked carrots (the only purée he would refuse as a baby!) so not much help there!
-
i will try grated again and also cold steamed carrots - good idea!
today
breakfast: i gave her a blueberry muffin from the store while we were shopping - awful i know. didn't have time to give her breakfast this am as we woke late and had an appt early this am
lunch: flat bread pizza (ww flat bread, cheese, a little pizza sauce)
dinner: gnocchi with squash and ? (new recipe, haven't made it yet!)
-
B: Porridge with cashews, coconut and raisins
S: Half banana; mini muffin
L: Slice of sausage, onion and capsicum pizza; piece of sweetcorn
S: Coconut water; didn't want anything to eat
D: Stir-fry chicken and veg with rice (she ate the carrot and cauliflower). Custard tart. Watermelon.
-
breakfast: greek yogurt, honey, fruit, 1/2 frozen whole grain waffle
lunch: half a turkey/cheese sandwich; sweet potato chips, 1/2 banana
dinner: (will be) pork chops, broccoli, and ?
-
B: scrambled egg, strawberries
L: 2 sausages, cauliflower mash
D: slow cooker beef and broccoli
I don't give snacks unless dd specifically asks b/c it sometimes makes her picky for meals, but today she seemed extra hungry so she also had a yoghurt, some applesauce and some cherry tomatoes
-
DD eats a ton here lately. like more than my 6.5 year old DS! i do give snacks, esp after her nap, bc she can not wait until my DH gets home for dinner. sometimes what we are having is not very toddler friendly so it ends up working out OK
-
B: soft boiled egg, toast, jackfruit
S: cashew nuts
L: veg fried rice with fish, pappad
S: apple
D: make-your own pizza, so not sure what she had on hers - definitely loads of olives! Cucumber sticks.
-
Do other people's LOs do ok with repetition or do they like variety? DD basically had the same lunch and dinner as yesterday (same meat but different fruit/veg) just because I still had some that needed eating. She doesn't mind having the same thing 2 days running (but also willingly tries most new foods), but I have noticed sometimes she gets fixed on a certain food and then refuses it. For a while she was crazy about avocado and I gave her one pretty much every day since it's so healthy. Now she won't touch them, I think it was overkill!
-
i don't like repeating much myself so we rarely have something more than 2 days in a row!
breakfast: PBJ on WW, orange slices & blueberries
snack: cheerios & milk
lunch: TBD
dinner: TBD
-
We often have dinner leftovers for lunch the next day - and once a week, dinner is generally finishing up whatever needs to be eaten from the fridge, so a variety of leftovers. F never seems to mind - and I don't think we need 21 different meals a week, yk? Breakfast is usually the same muesli, we have something different a couple of times a week.
Yesterday was
B: muesli, mango
S: banana muffin
L: egg dosai, bit of sardine murtabak
D: couscous with chicken and veg; mango and coconut sorbet ice-block, grapes
-
today so far:
breakfast: blueberry whole grain waffle w/ butter, fresh blueberries & milk
snack: a small cereal bar (while running an errand)
lunch: cheddar cheese, apple slices, leftover mac & cheese, hummus /pretzels, milk
-
Yesterday, my 26month DS had:
Breakfast: muesli and almond milk, green smoothie
Snack: apple sauce
Lunch: stir fry with beef, broccoli, carrots and beans; blueberries
Snack: cashews and rice crackers
Dinner: fresh sardines, avocado, GF bread, carrots (refused the other veges and only had a few bites of fish)
-
Today he had:
Breakfast- dry muesli and green smoothie
Snack-grapes, turkey breast, rice crackers and guacamole
Lunch-chicken, potato, mushrooms, carrots and cherries
Dinner -ham, broccoli, carrots, coconut yoghurt
-
B: GF oatmeal with puréed nectarine stirred through
S: cauliflower (dd has always loved cauliflower and will eat it just boiled and cold!)
L: roast chicken with apple and spinach
D: meatloaf
-
Yesterday was my birthday so not the healthiest eating day:
B: Croissant with bacon and cheese; jackfruit
S: banana
L: peanut butter and grated carrot sandwich
afternoon tea: I don't even know. Cake, cupcakes, cookies (at least they were sugar-free!), some fruit, maybe a home-made sausage roll or two
D: not much. Piece of zucchini slice, some watermelon and pineapple
Today:
B: muesli
S: banana, dry cornflakes
L: Noodle soup with tomato and egg; broccoli; cucumber
S: Grapes
D: Tofu and veg with rice; Jackfruit, watermelon
-
Wow, your toddlers eat really well :) and their menus are really varied. My DD tends to eat the same things over and over, especially for breakfast and lunch. She goes to daycare and they offer breakfast (usually a starch like pancakes, fruit, and milk). I pack lunches and snacks. I try to give a starch, a meat, and fruit for lunches. Since she is so picky, daycare puts out only the meat first :( and by the time she finishes that she is hardly interested in the rest of her lunch, or worse yet they don't offer anything else because she hasn't finish her meat. I don't pack a large portion of meat either.
My question to you ladies is how do you get your toddlers to accept such a varied diet? Dinner time is the only time I get to experiment new foods. Usually she will take a bite of the new food and spit it out and starts crying if she doesn't see something else familiar :(. So I feel like we're stuck with the usual mac n cheese, rice, deli meat, fruits, sweet potatoes, string cheese, etc.
-
Mama2athena, I think part of it is I'm just lucky to have a kid who likes his food. We do baby led weaning so hes always eaten what we eat, and we are adventurous eaters. But I also have a few tricks
I usually give him veges first, then meat, then starch. Otherwise he'd just fill up on potato and not eat anything else. I don't actually give him much carbs at all.
If he's going through a picky stage, I don't give him snacks so he is ravenous at meal times.
I will often cook veges in stock or broth to give them a meaty flavour- he loves his meat!
He is getting pickier, and I now ask him to have one bite of everything on his plate. If he doesn't want any more, that's okay, but he knows he won't get anything else.
Remember though it is natural for toddlers to be picky, my doctor told me it's a safety feature for them. when they are little they can only eat what we give them or place nea them. But when they become mobile and can run off and eat whatever they might find, they get pickier to reduce the chances of them eating something poisonous. If it is an unfamiliar food, they are unlikely to accept it in toddlerhood. Don't give up though!
-
Yesterday he had
B bacon, sausage, potatoes, watermelon, orange and pineapple. Green smoothie
L Korean bulgogi beef, rice, capsicum, broccoli (refused to capsicum and only had a few mouthfuls of beef)
D at restaurant mini burger, fries, carrot sticks, apple and apple juice
Today
B porridge with GF oats, flax meal, coconut and rice milk, coconut yoghurt
MT applesauce
L PB sandwich, banana, pear
D Teriyaki salmon, purple potatoes, broccoli, carrots, chocolate almond milk, grapes
-
We did BLW as well, and F has always just been offered the same as us since she was about 8 months old. She doesn't have to eat anything but she knows that she doesn't get more of one thing unless she's tried the other things on her plate - and I don't offer an alternative (although might tone down a curry for her, etc). She goes through phases of not eating stuff, but generally eats a decent variety so I do feel pretty lucky that I've never had to worry about what she eats!
Today was
B: practically nothing, not sure why. A teaspoon of porridge.
S: apple
L: was ravenous, of course. Huge bowl of noodle soup with wantons, tofu and seaweed.
D: corn chips w guacamole, salmon coulibiac, cucumber sticks. Watermelon, grapes and rambutan.
-
I've just been reading recommendations with amounts for DD's age and some sample meals. I must say I am a bit worried she's not eating enough.
What do you ladies think about this:
Yesterday
WU milk 150ml
B: 3 tblsp cereal, 5 berries
S: 1 slice cheese, 1 strawberry, 80ml jog, 2 bites of eggy bread
L: 1 tblsp mince, 1tblsp potato, 1tbs pumpkin, 1 slice ham, 3 cauliflower florets - wouldn't eat more
S: 1 cracker
D: 1 tbsp mince, 1tbsp potato (left from her lunch), 1/4 slice bread, 3 cherry tomatoes, 40ml jog
BT milk: 160ml
Today
WU milk 150ml
B: 1tblsp cereal 3 berries - wasn't interested in more
S: 2 tblsp cereal (finished off her B 2h later)
S: 50ml pumpkin-ginger soup
L: 2 tblsp chicken, 1/4 slice bread with cream cheese, 2 cherry tomatos, 60ml milk
S: 1/2 segment orange, 2 sticks watermelon, 3 florets cauliflower
D: 1/2 cup pumpkin-ginger soup
BT milk: 160ml
-
^^ I think this looks ok :) Seems like a decent mix of things, and I wouldn't worry too much about amounts as toddlers still have small stomachs and it doesn't take much to fill them up! Mine has days (like today) where she hardly eats anything, but over the course of a week I think she gets a good balance and quantity. Today she only had a yogurt for breakfast, 2 bites of chicken for lunch (ignored the veg), and so far she's only gone for a few cherries this afternoon. Yesterday was a good day:
B: homemade fruit smoothie with coconut milk and coconut oil
L: omelette with bacon, kale, onion and red pepper
D: vegetable soup, banana bread
No snacks, water throughout the day, milk first thing and with dinner
-
I think it looks fine too - the snacks are pretty substantial so if you wanted to scale back on them a little she might eat more for her main meals, but that said the snacks are balanced so it's probably all fine. LOs are really good at self regulating how much they need and of what, so long as we provide them with healthy options of course ;) Like pp says, it's better to look at what they eat over the course of a week or so, rather than day by day.
-
Yaay, thanks:) The amounts on some websites are double what DD eats.
Today was ok so far, she had most of her breakfast porridge with 1/2 a nectarine ans I got her to drink half a cup of veg soup. But I think that's because I let her drink it out of a wine glass instead of a bowl, lol.
-
Lol, imagining a 17mo drinking soup out of a wine glass! ;D
Today was a good food day here :)
B: banana pudding (made with banana, coconut oil, coconut milk, egg yolk, almond butter, vanilla, cinnamon)
L: bowl of mince (beef) with tomatoes and cheese
D: veggie stir fry to get rid of some that needed using up
S: frozen blueberries
-
my DD ate complete cr@p this past week bc we were visiting family. i mean one day they were giving her fruit loops as a snack. i about died but we are back home now.
anyway, we are home and don't have many groceries so slim pickings around here.
eva - my DD often eats more than my 6 year old and then other times she doesn't eat much. i wouldn't worry about. she shd let you know if she is still hungry or not.
emma - wow that banana pudding sounds delish! my DD wont' eat ground beef :(
i am thankful my DD will eat veggies and fruit. she loves blueberries & peaches!
-
The ground beef is a recent thing here. I know she likes beef because she'll eat it roasted or in meatloaf, burger etc but always spat out mince, maybe a texture thing? But I've offered it every once in a while and the last couple of months she's started enjoying it.
Today has been -
B: the rest of the banana pudding (yes it is yummy!)
L: scrambled egg and asparagus
D: some grapes ::) wouldn't touch her turkey burger and also refused a yogurt
She's having some BT milk now and I guess that'll be it!
-
Mine is the opposite, she'll eat anything out of mince but isn't mad about whole bits of meat, spits them out.
I am definitely more relaxed about her eating though. Good to know how others compare.
Yesterday:
B: Porridge with blackberries and milk
S: Slice of cheese and a bit of broccoli
L1: Baked beans, mini meatball, pasta and broccoli again (ate half)
L2: Finished off her lunch
S: peach, cucumber, watermelon
D: yoghurt
The whole recent discovery of utensils helps a lot, she eats so much more with a fork than she did with her hand. Wonder how long it will take for the novelty to wear off.
-
Lol, imagining a 17mo drinking soup out of a wine glass! ;D
Today was a good food day here :)
B: banana pudding (made with banana, coconut oil, coconut milk, egg yolk, almond butter, vanilla, cinnamon)
L: bowl of mince (beef) with tomatoes and cheese
D: veggie stir fry to get rid of some that needed using up
S: frozen blueberries
I'd love the recipe for the banana pudding if you could post it!
-
Here is the recipe (can't take any credit for it myself!):
http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=2115041

-

S: homemade vanilla sponge
D: lamb and veg moussaka with carrots and potato. Raspberries, blueberries and grapes

B: Has been skipped a lot recently. Refused some (delicious!) homemade healthy banana bread
S: yogurt
L: meatloaf, fried mushrooms, an apple
D: 3 bites of the banana bread from breakfast, LOADS of cherry tomatoes!
So only one full meal but at least it was a good one!
-
eva - goldfish ---sorry, goldfish crackers - very popular kid's snack in the US - little cheezy crackers shaped like goldfish
let's see if i remember from today..

lunch: bites of spinach ravioli, bites of my lunch (egg scramble w/ tortilla), cherry tomatoes, strawberries

snack (after nap): i'm going to feed her some chick parmesan & noodles (my dinner) so she doesn't eat much junk later w/ DH
dinner: DH is taking kids out to eat so it won't be particular healthy (prob Chick-fil-a); hopefully he will get her fruit and grilled chicken but i'm sure she will eat the nuggets and fries....
-
bump for update later today :)
-
emma - love your daughter's name!
Thank you :) DH picked the first name, I picked the middle name.
Here was yesterday for us:
B: slice of watermelon, half a banana
S: homemade fudge (healthy with loads of good fats since she never wants much breakfast these days!)

Mmmm have you got a recipe for that fudge?
B. weetabix
L. Tuna pickle sandwich, mini cheddars, Pear, plum
D. Roast potatoes, sweet potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, sausage. Grapes, frozen yoghurt
-
D. Roast potatoes, sweet potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, sausage.
Mmm... Sounds so good! I miss my Sunday roast. I always used to go to my mums for that even after I left home, but now I'm 4000 miles away and it seems like too much effort to cook it for the 2 of us :-\
The fudge is really easy:
1 cup nut butter (you can use any but I like cashew butter best)
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
That's the basic recipe but you can also add fruit (mine had banana in it), cocoa powder, coconut flakes, or anything really. Just whizz it in the food processor until it's smooth, pour it into a pan and stick it in the freezer so it sets. You eat it straight out of the freezer as it's a bit runny / gooey at room temperature. It's so good!
-
B: Ella's Kitchen smoothie pouch, Nutrios
L: Yellow rice (turmeric), avocado, black bean & diced tomato salad, apricot & guava soy dessert
S: cereal bar (apple and cinnamon)
D: Broccoli pesto pasta
-
Yum will need to shop for some of that recipe but can't wait.
I loved a Sunday roast when I was young and have recently made an effort to cook one regularly. That was left overs and I just added the sausage.
-
B: pumpkin banana bread / milk
S: scrambled egg, strawberries, mandarin orange
L: 1/2 PBJ, chips, and banana
S: milk & rest of banana/choc pudding

I'm sorry, I'm going to resurrect this thread and be *that* parent who is smug about their kids eating veggies. DD is still barely acknowledging breakfast and usually has a decent lunch, but omg I am SO happy with her dinners! I don't know if she just gets hungrier as the day goes on or what but she basically has been eating anything I put in front of her. Tonight she had spaghetti squash stirred through with onion, garlic, spinach, tomatoes and sardines(!!!). I can't believe she ate sardines! I've never been able to get her to eat fish except the occasional bit of salmon. Hooray brain food!
-
sardines, that's impressive. can't get myself to eat them much less DD;)
DD has been feeling a bit ill and is living on air of late.
Today breakfast: 4 tsp cereal, 1/3 sausage
snack: 10 corn chips (kiddies version, no fat or salt)
Lunch: 2 cherry tomatoes and the rest of her breakfast sausage, refused everything else I gave her
Dinner: I have cooked some spaghetti and told her it was snakes so she is having some of that, hissing with every mouthful. Doesn't want anything on it though
Grrr hate it when she's like this
-
Mostly hummus and guacamole, with a spoon ::)
-
Some good nutrients in there Anna.
B: wheatabix, toast and honey
L: egg, beans, banana and peanut butter pancake
D: Turkey mince and bean chilli con carne peas sweet corn, mince pie
-
B Muesli with milk, toast and lemon curd
L (didn't ask for snack) just cheese. That was his Dad's fault.
Snack Dried apple
D Vegetarian pasta bake and cucumber wedges - ate a HUGE amount and made me feel better about the rest of the day's lack of nutrition!
-
B banana, toast
S cereal bar, fruit leather
L beans and rice
D meatloaf, mashed potatoes, veggies
S cream filled graham cracker
-
B: bits of yogurt , cereal, milk (which she threw up later, not sure why)
S: PButter toast and banana
L: leftover carbonara, PButter, cheese, crackers, orange slices, water, fruit leather
D: leftover carbonara (LOL), miilk, bread, ice cream & cherry cobbler w/ her daddy

-
Breakfast: cereal with prunes (constipated again, grrr)
Lunch part one: tomato soup
Lunch part two after nap: Veg soup with chicken
Snack: tangerine
Supper: Baked beans
In a phase when she'll eat anything - as long as its soup or looks like soup. Sick of soup:(
-
i blanking on what all she ate today...
B: oatmeal w/ almonds & strawberries, goldfish (she found the bag)
snack: cheesestick - can't remember what else
lunch: egg w/ cheese, ham and spinach in a pita, hummus
snack: graham cracker w/ PB
dinner: grilled pork, veggies, rice
-
Thought I might try to get this going again. My DD eats terribly so it nice to see what everyone else is doing (and get a few ideas).
So I'll start with yesterday, that was terrible pretty much refused all meals and just ate her snacks.
Breakfast: 2 slice seeded wholemeal toast with butter (fed most to the dogs)
Snack: watermelon, raisins, rice cakes
Lunch: Ham sandwich (2 bites), tangerine, yoghurt
Snack: Breadsticks, grapes
Dinner: Sausages, scrambled egg, toast (ate a small bit of toast)
-
How funny - I am just going through a pile of paperwork in the kitchen and among the papers I found a recipe written on a scrap of paper - the other side was a list of what DD had eaten for the day, noted down for me to post on here! Funny thing is it must be about 4yrs old as she's 7.5 now LOL! This used to be one of my favourite threads when DD was little (along with the menu planning thread - can you see a theme there?! I'm all about the food :P ::)) For some reason I haven't done it with DS - probably lack of time with two! - but will make an effort to do it (at least once in a while!) as I always found it helpful to see what everyone else was eating and get ideas (as you said) and even pinch some recipes! ;) DS eats fairly well - though does refuse dinner quite often if it's not what he fancies - I don't worry too much though cos he eats a varied diet and I remember DD used to do it around this age.
Going to try and remember what DS had yesterday:
B: Juicy water (watered down OJ), slice of toast and butter, blueberries and grapes
S: Half a toasted fruit teacake and milk
S: (post swimming) few crackers
L: Cheese sandwich, half an avocado, couple of cucumber slices, couple of cherry toms, couple of green and black olives, fruit pot, handful of blueberries, water
S: milk
D: pasta with pesto, s-d toms, green & black olives, capers, topped with grated cheese (his favourite tea - he cheered when he came into the kitchen!), yoghurt, pack of yoghurt raisins
I wouldn't say it was a typical day really - seems to be quite a lot, but it was his favourite meal which I think he would eat every day given half the chance! ::)
-
well i'll go ahead and post for my almost 3 yo
b: yogurt parfait (greek yogurt, granola, berries, chia seeds), 1/2 banana, OJ
L: 1/2 Pb/banana/honey sandwich, the remainder of the parfait from breakfast, guacamole/chips, carrots, (can't remember the last thing in her box) apple juice (she can't drink milk)
Snack: mini lara bar and i'll prob slice an apple/goldfish
Dinner: chicken tortilla soup, avocado, salad
-
@2y3m
B: Toast with Sun Butter, coconut yogurt, 6oz rice milk
S: Pineapple muffin
L: ½ avocado, 2 slices of deli ham, grapes, quinoa cracker
S: Pumpkin & Pear sauce

And we still BF throughout the day/night...

Doesn't sound terrible at all me dear ;) I remember someone telling me when DD was little not to look at what a LO has eaten in a day, to look at a whole week instead - you usually find that they have 'averaged' out the calories: somedays eating more than others (def true of DS this week! ;)) and also that a LO will not starve - they self regulate way better than we do. I don't want to start a thread for us cos then I'd realise how much I actually eat :P
Yesterday:
B: 2 bowls of porridge with mixed dried fruit topped with cheerios and drizzle of honey, lots of melon, juicy water
S: none - breakfast was late
L: spicy cabbage & butter bean soup, crusty bread roll with cream cheese, fruit pot, sesame/cranberry bite, water
S: milk (not sure if he had anything to eat - was out with DD and he was at home with DH)
D: sloppy joe in bread bun, potato wedges - couple of bites of sloppy joe, one potato wedge ::)
-
Also helpful to remember their stomachs are darn tiny...DH was feeding E a snack at 4 pm and then surprised that when supper came at 5:30 pm she was not hungry.
So supper last night ended up being garlic toast and banana as she rejected the mac & cheese. A few choc covered raisins for dessert rounded out the meal :P. E is a total chocoholic, when she was sick she only wanted formula & chocolate (we hadfound a stash from last easter that was still good!).
-
Dd1 loves chocolate, I swear she can smell it a mile away.
B cereal ( refused)
L 2 sausages and toast
S watermelon, raisins banana
D spag bols ( 2 spoons) 2 maltesers
Do you all sit down and eat together?
-
Yes we mostly do...exception being breakfast on sat/sun...DH & are up first, he eats then, then he feeds the kids and once they are done I eat (I cannot stomach food right when I wake up). If it is just me and E I try to at least have a snack while she eats and sit with her.
Today so far:
B - toast with hummus & formula
S - was a run on affair as she found the crackers - probably had 6
L - garlic toast, 1/2 banana, oatmeal (ate hers and DD2's leftovers!)
S - baby puff snacks, 2 pretzels
S (supper...I don't call it dinner!) - plan is spaghetti, which usually she loves. And leftover choc cake.
-
Oh and I am purposely feeding her a lot of binding foods as she had the runs at daycare friday (yeah they fed her too much fruit and then gave her raisins) so that is why her diet is mostly rice crackers, bananas and oatmeal! Usually she has fruit & veg too (though she is not big on her veg at all). I have to work mon/tue and she will get sent home if she has diarrhea again.
-
I have a food monster DS 33 months
B huge bowl porridge
S rice cake covered in yoghurt
L beans on 2 slices of toast

Great thread x

I have a food monster DS 33 months
I love a food monster ;)
Also helpful to remember their stomachs are darn tiny...
Yes I always forget that your stomach is the size of your fist - saw it on a TV programme yrs ago - and that your portion size shouldn't be any bigger than that . . . I am guilty of eating way more than my fist sized portion :-[ And also probably overload the LOs plates too.
Yesterday:
B: slice of toast, lots of melon, juicy water, milk
S: none - had a late breakfast
L: 'pick & mix' plate - half an avocado, salami, cheese, hummus, breadsticks, green & black olives, cherry toms & cucumber, chocolate/orange pudding (pot), mini hot chocolate with cream & marshmallows, tangerine
S: milk
D: 'sausage' pasta bake (made with pork mince, passata, grated courgette, topped with cheese), plum clafoutis with custard, bit of chocolate (another chocoholic here I think!), tangerine
-
Berni I am the same way with my own eating! I am also guilty of not buying things DH and I don't eat for the kids to at least try (like olives!). I hate food waste so I serve really small portions and then they get seconds if they want. Will be back tonight to report the day!
-
Berni I am the same way with my own eating!
Pleased to hear that I'm not the only one! ;)
I am also guilty of not buying things DH and I don't eat for the kids to at least try (like olives!).
I think most people are probably guilty of this - as both DH and I love olives the LOs have always been 'exposed' to them - they both rejected them at first - can't remember exactly at what age they were offered but both LOs signed 'grapes' when they saw them - bit of a shocker if you think you're going to taste a sweet grape and you get the salty taste of olive LOL!
DD always likes to have 'olives and pickle (gherkin) on the side' of her lunch and will often ask where they are if I don't put them on! When she takes packed lunch to school she has a 'veg box' which consists of: 2 cherry toms, couple of slices of cucumber, 2 green olives, 2 black olives, 1 pickle. Some of the other LOs have 'commented' on her veg box (and by commented I'm being polite >:() and she was a bit upset - I did say that if she was bothered I would stop putting things in that were 'different from the norm' but she said she wanted to carry on taking them cos she loves them ;D I was very proud as I explained that they were the ones missing out! ;) DS still hasn't quite got to the pickle stage yet - has a bite or small piece but that's as far as it goes - we're on a mission to convert him LOL!
I hate food waste so I serve really small portions and then they get seconds if they want.
I'm the same - TBH we have very little food waste as it's something I try to be conscious of. Though you have pointed out the obvious there - I should put out smaller portions and then they can ask for more rather than overloading their plates. I miss having the dogs as they were very good at consuming any waste! ;) DH quite often has 'seconds' now - which basically means that he eats whatever DS has refused ;) DD is pretty good at eating whatever is put in front of her - in fact this past couple of weeks she is permanently hungry so I'm wondering if she is in a GS (do they get them at 7.5yo ???) as I can't seem to fill her.
Anyway - I veered slightly OT there . . . could talk about food all day LOL!!
Here's what DS had today:
B: slice of toast, few handfuls of blueberries, banana, juicy water, milk
S: cup of milk on way to playgroup - said he had a biscuit at playgroup but he could have had more
L: leftover sausage pasta bake, yoghurt, water
S: milk, organix cheese crackers
D: pick & mix plate: half an avocado, salami, cheese, hummus, breadsticks, green & black olives, cherry toms & cucumber, fruit in jelly pot, yoghurt raisins, water

Growth spurst happen still for my older two every birthday & half birthday! Fun times as they all three have birthdays within 3 weeks of each other! Our dogs have allergies and irritable bowel so no scraps for those big guys no matter how cute they look!

My kids get made fun of for bringing tuna for lunch, but they love it so they don't care!
-
Growth spurst happen still for my older two every birthday & half birthday!
That makes sense now then - half birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. Haven't ever really noticed such an increase though - ATM all I seem to hear is 'I'm still hungry' - and that's after she's eaten as much (if not more!) than me!
Fun times as they all three have birthdays within 3 weeks of each other!
Your food bill must increase substantially LOL!
My kids get made fun of for bringing tuna for lunch, but they love it so they don't care!

Haribo - your DS is a food monster! I LOVE that he was hungry at 6am and had a 'snack' before his breakfast! (thought TBH I would be mortified if DS told me he was hungry at that time - Mr Sunshine doesn't get up til 7am so neither does DS! ;))

*DS was asking for an apple this morning after breakfast (when he'd finished all the other fruits in the bowl!) but we just didn't have time before the school run - and he doesn't really eat them much anyway. He reminded me this afternoon that he'd been asking for an apple (cos 'they are so lovely and crunchy' apparently!) so I said I'd chop it up for him and put it in his snack bowl - he said 'No, I want to do big bites'. I took a bite out of it to get him started and was half expecting him to bring it back a couple of minutes later saying he was 'finished'. He sat himself on the sofa watching an episode on Thomas and when it ended he did bring what was left of the apple to me . . . pretty much just the stalk!!! I couldn't believe it but he had eaten all the 'core' :o I wouldn't even eat that myself! It wouldn't be so shocking if he loved apples - but if I slice one up he only has a couple of bits and I eat the rest. They are funny these LOs!
