What did your toddler eat today? Part Two!

[Vicku]

Hi!
I also find that snacks can ruin Lois' appetite for lunch/dinner, so try keep them small. More often than not hough, we'll end up with a huge fruit snack cos she keeps asking for more, and hardly anything for dinner 
I also find that I end up feeding her the same things over and over... it's annoying me that she won't try new things, so I've almost given up on preparing new things for her meals, just offer a bit of something we're having to try get her to try new stuff, but she always refuse to taste it   

Hope all poorly bubs get better! Hugs to them!

Nello's appetite resembles mine LOL I'm also always hungry and love food! Lois eats lots too I guess, but mostly fruit so not very calorific. Weird thing is she won't have juice either, only water, no cow's milk either, only formula still... they have a toddler version though here so guess that's ok.

today she didn't eat much though, she had:
breakfast - formula, few bites of toast
snack - 1/2 apple
lunch - 2 fish fingers, refused the rice, refused cheese, had a few bites of bread with caviar spread
snack - 1 1/2 banana, small packet of raisins (wanted to fill her up for swimming)
snack 2 - 1/2 banana & more raisins...  (after swimmin)
dinner - 1/2 bowl of porridge as it was too late for anything else and she wasn't hungry after all those bananas and raisins 
bedtime milk

Hope tomorrow will be a bit better balanced

Today she ate well for her

Breakfast - bowl of cereal and cup of milk
snack - banana
lunch - chicken sandwich and apple with milk
snack - orange
tea - spaghetti bolognese with carrots and peas and yoghurt

[Grace's Mom]

Since Grace wakes so early, breakfast is early thus lunch is at 10:30 or 11am here.
She may or may not eat a lot.
Thus we have lunch part 2 when she wakes are around 2pm
Dinners always at 5pm(ish).
She eats so little that both lunches really should be called snacks 

[Mom to M&M]

I have no problem with snacks as long as they are healthy (and only less healthy ones occasionally and if she has eaten well). I'm the same way - I tend to eat 5-6 times throughout the day and get really cranky otherwise.

So today DD has had milk and nutrigrain pancakes for breakast, raisins for snack, turkey breast and yogurt for lunch (with some milk too), all-bran crackers and also baby carrots dipped in hummus for snack and some very diluted juice. Dinner offered will be crusted fish, baked potato, salad and garlic bread. Probably pineapple chunks or other fruit for dessert.

Today Oscar had similar day...

Milk am on waking around 7- 210ml toddler formula
Breakfast wth childminder around 8.30 - 2 weetabix with full fat whole milk, mandarin on side
snack - raisins, water and half small bread roll which he begged for around 10.30 or 11
lunch - 1pm was mu mo in laws defrosted veal stew (he loves it!) with potats, carrots etc, then a fromage frais and another mandarin
after waking we wet straight outside and he begged for another bread roll in the local shop as I was stocking up on milk and eggs (a real Polish kids thing - you forever see them eating these plain bread rolls... its the Pole in him)
so when we got home I made us some whole wheat organic pasta (hard to find in this country) with mu own tomato and mascarpone sauce which he refused point blank so he had a choice of either shreddies with milk (to break the cheerios habit) or dreied cranberries(craisins) and fromage frais and he chose the latter...about an adult handful of craisins and two small tubs of fromagr frais, some of which was smeared over the table...
then his nighttime milk...again toddler formula 210ml. He will drink cow's milk and eat it on cereal but onlu cold and only as part of a meal... if he doesn't have his milk with evening meal then it has to be warm toddler formula during book and snuggle time....

that was it today!

Thats funny someone mentioned raisins as a treat snack, I see it as a way to the 5 a day and Ryan loves them, especially the Lemon and Cherry flavoured ones you can get (they are very yummy!).

You have inspired me though to try some other snacks but like a lot of you I have to be careful how much he has so as to not spoil his appetite.  He actually asks for very little during the day, lunch is the main struggle to get him to eat but most of the time he is agood eater.  He weighs around 30lbs.

He ate something tonight

We had a lovely afternoon snuggled together on the sofa, snoozing away, so he had a late night - spent the evening making homemade pizza. He was sooooooooo proud of his (wasn't bad actually ), he actually ate about 4 slices. We are in the habit of thanking the person who made the food before we eat it, so, before he started, he said "Charlie cooked it, thank you Charlie". So cute

[Mom to M&M]

That is too cute Caroline!

DD refused the fish (which she used to like) and the baked potato tonight. Ate some salad (lettuce and cabbage), some garlic bread and then cheerios and milk and some pineapple.

[Grace's Mom]

Almost a zero food day 
-teething
-and a cold 

Breakfast: raisins, eggs w/cheese and ketchup (the biggest meal of the day)

Lunch: Nothing at the sitters (would not eat)

Snack: Nothing at the sitters ( would not eat)

Snack try #2: ate a few bites of chicken lunch meat dipped in ranch  and a few raw carrots.
Also, the sitter made PB cookies and I gave her a few small bites.  Hey, PB's good for you right 

Then she stuck a toy in her mouth which tickled the back of her throat and threw it all up 

Dinner:
4 sips of a strawberry/banana smoothie, 1/4 bagel plain.

That's it. Poor Girl.

DS ate like you wouldn't believe today-

He had a bowl of Rice Krispies, a slice of toast, a cup of milk and a banana for breakfast..

...got to daycare, made big eyes at the leaders and begged for more "bisties" (Krispies in his language)..ate another bowl of those and another slice of toast midmorning..

Had lunch at daycare, lamb, veg and potatoes, scoffed the lot plus yoghurt for pudding, managed a cheese scone at afternoon snack time

Home for a dinner of spaghetti bolognese, plus Petit Filous, plus grapes and a few chocolate buttons...

I have no idea where he puts it!  He turned 2yo three weeks ago and is 3ft tall and approx 37lbs.

Some days he eats loads, others next to nothing, but this took the biscuit!

Wow, that was a good day for Zara.  Way to go.
What is rockmelon?  Is it a hard fruit? 
Sorry for being clueless. 

[TERESA-E&C's Mommy]

Emily is right at 30 pounds with very chubby cheeks. Maybe I should not worry as much when she is on the food strikes.     

I have already posted for today except dinner.
3 bites of Gerber pasta
1/2 small box of raisins
(We were at a friends house who has a new baby, no time to eat)
Big handful of Cheerios before bed
Oh and she usually drinks 8-10 oz of milk after bath.
