What did your toddler eat today? Part 5

[mumofalice]

Khalam's Mama - thought of you this morning as I walked down the meat isles in Morrisons and saw a pack of minced turkey 

Not sure there's a turkey section as such - more just a couple of shelves where they group turkey products (mince, sausages, breast, diced, etc) kwim?

Hope you manage to find some - if not, you might have to talk your butcher into mincing some for you.

[Mom to M&M]

DS doing pretty well today. So far:

B: oatmeal with applesauce, about half a natural cereal bar with Fig puree (Trader Joe's), few bites toasted whole wheat bagel with cream cheese
L: mixed berry yogurt, fed self bunch of pieces of roasted carrot and some cheerios
D: probably pizza and a broccoli pancake OR barley with zucchini

Also - we started giving him a straw cup today as he loves drinking water from it. He's definitely had less than he does from his bottle but isn't doing badly.

Khalam's mama, i will try more varieties but if DS wants our food that's seasoned, I won't hesitate anymore.  Just give other foods that aren't seasoned also.  thanks

Seems like DS is like big people food and he just chewed on meat, i don't need to peel pears anymore.  I guess coz he can use his molars now?  Do you cut up food for your LO's or just let them bite off them?

awwww how cute!!!  hehe  our stash of food is all way beyond reach for DS but occasionally he sees the bread or crackers he dropped earlier and put in his mouth       

[Khalam's Mama]

MY chocolate is out of reach but my neice was here for dinner and had left it half eaten on the coffee table. My nephew (10YO) was supposed to be watching him while I emptied his (DS's not 10YO nephew's) potty but he was distracted with the tv apparently!

[banu]

my lo still cant eat himself. our caregiver refuse to let him feed himself and she insists on feed him with mashed food. i am too upset. i try to teach him at weekends but he does not show interest.

[squeakersmum]

Banu - can you ask your caregiver to make sure he has his own spoon even if he doesn't use it?  That's how my DS learnt really, he had his own spoon for every meal and eventually he used it to feed himself.  He doesn't do it all the time, he uses his fingers a lot and when he gets bored I take over still!

With him having mashed food - can you introduce finger foods for him to have or provide finger foods for your caregiver to give him at snack time?  Then he can get used to some different textures too. 

On a different note, so wrong that your caregiver is refusing to do what you ask of her.  I'm cross for you!!
