What did your toddler eat today? Part 5

[Khalam's Mama]

Who is your care giver Banu? Surely if you are paying her she should do as you ask in how to feed him?

Today:
B: Muesli with apple and pear puree in, raisins
L: Meatball, veggie pasta sauce, pasta, cheese, grapes
D: Roast Duck, sweet pots, potatoes, carrot, spinage, strawberries (really wanted my choc cake but not yet!)

[Mom to M&M]

He seems to be getting pickier/having some texture issues. Refused homemade blueberry muffin today and toast with cream cheese tonight. Today had:

B: baby oatmeal with peaches, cheerios (refused blueberry muffin)
L: broccoli pancake with bit of cheese melted on top, few grapes
S: two arrowroot cookies
D: apple yogurt, couple bites chicken/apple "sausage", couple bites turkey patty, few cheerios

I'm running out of ideas of what to give him!

[mumofalice]

Banu - agree with PPs. Your caregiver should really be following your instructions IMO. My CM followed my BLW rules with DD even tho she was 'different' to all the other LOs. My DD has always fed herself - TBH she quite often reverts to her hands when she can't get enough food on her spoon or fork, or if she can't do it quick enough!

Yesterday:
B: Rice crispies, banana, satsuma, OJ
S: home-made cheese snack
L: pita stuffed with chickpeas in tomato sauce, sweet potato (tho picked it out!), rice and cheese
S: yoghurt coated fruit flakes, water
D: (out) loads of olives, bit of bread dipped in balsamic/oil, shared pizza with me (roasted veg & goats cheese - tho picked off the veg!), some bits of salami from my friend's plate. Late home so cup of milk and 2 chocolate animals - no time for hot choc!

B - we tried a new 'Plum' muesli...which he hated, so I tasted, and I have to say it was similar to wallpaper paste!! So he had strawberries and toast with marmalade instead!

S - on and off all morning as I was out shopping with a friend...organix snacks, an apple, an orange oat bar, yog coated raisins, caramel rice cake, cheese and marmite sandwich

S - after nap - cheese biscuits

D - fish fingers, peas and tomatoey pasta, pear and yoghurt fruit pot

[mumofalice]

Today . . .

B: rice crispies and milk, banana, satsuma, OJ
S: couple of organix 'carrot stick' snacks
L: (at soft play) cheese on toast (dipped in brown sauce!) bit of my tuna melt, juice
S: none as we had early dinner with DH before nightshift
D: on the plate: chicken breast baked with bacon, vine tomatoes and garlic served with boiled baby pots in skins, green beans - DD ate all the pots, couple of bites of chicken and a few of the green beans once she'd removed the 'skins' (so the teeniest bit of bean possible  ), yoghurt, banana, water, warm milk and biscuit

How funny - I assumed as I can buy it in Morrisons or ASDA that it was in all the supermarkets - I just haven't bought it from there iykwim? The only other explanation is that it's a regional thing and they only sell it up north where we are poor 

[Khalam's Mama]

LOL. Maybe. i will let you know! But we are also poor!

[Mom to M&M]

Today we did:

B: half a scrambled egg with cheese (yay), some baby muesli with whole milk, few cheerios
S: couple arrowroot cookies while shopping
L: yogurt, small amount whole wheat fusili with carrot/cheese/tomato sauce
D: barley with zucchini, few bites roasted broccoli, fair amount chicken marsala, at least 15 blueberries

[Mom to M&M]

Yesterday was:

B: baby oatmeal, Just Apricots, cheerios
L: one salmon stix (with wild salmon, cod, haddock, cauliflower and chickpeas inside), few sweet potato "fries", couple cut up strawberries
S: yogurt melts
D: some whole wheat fusili pasta, homemade meatball, blueberries, dry cheerios

Today is looking like:

B: Had baby oatmeal, few bites homemade whole wheat pancake, few bites TJ's fig cereal bar
L: Thinking berry yogurt, broccoli pancake - will also put down few small pieces cheese but he usually refuses
D: Thinking barley with zucchini, turkey patty, blueberries

Am making the rest of us stir fry tonight. Any way I can alter it so DS can have the chicken from it? There is some reduced sodium soy sauce in the sauce I make for it - so to much sodium, right?

[mumofalice]

I'm never really sure how much is too much - however I think if in doubt then probably best to avoid it - better safe than sorry.

Yesterday:
B: rice crispies and milk, banana, OJ
At CM
S: raisins, cheese cubes, milk
L: chicken sandwich, crisps, grapes, yoghurt, water
S: chocolate bun, water
D: 'crustless' quiche (with courgette, carrot, bacon, onion, potato) - only ate one or two bites, satsuma - didn't offer anything else 

Today:
B: rice crispies and milk, OJ
S: 'nakd' mixed berry fruit bar
L: WM pita with ham and cheese, satsuma, some gingerbread man, water
S: raisins, water
D: (IKEA) meatballs with boiled potatoes and gravy, mixed fruit juice pouch, biscuit

[nelliestar]

Nursey day...

B - Cheerios and milk, humzinger, pear fruit pot, water
S - raisins, oatcakes, milk
L - 1 and a half bowls of veg curry and rice, millet cake topped with fruit spread, water
Tea - toast and apricot jam, grapes, apple juice
Humzinger on way home
Supper - weetabix and milk

Khalam's Mama - could you ask a butcher to mince you up some turkey breasts?

[Mom to M&M]

Today ended up:

B: baby oatmeal, few bites pancake (homemade whole grain) with butter, few bites TJ's fig cereal bar
L: most of a strawberry/banana yogurt, about 15 blueberries, good amount roasted carrot pieces, refused cheese (as usual)
S: about 1/4 toasted whole wheat bagel with butter
D: small amount of broccoli pancake, even smaller amount chicken

Think the bagel snack was too late and filled him up too much for dinner! Plus lately he's wanting to self feed less - not sure what's up with that.

[Khalam's Mama]

Today:
B: 1/2 toast and butter, raisins, refused semolina cereal.
S: Blueberries, some of daddy's omlette and beans
L: pitta, houmous, banana bread, slice of cheese
S: Raisins and grapes (4)
D: refused meatballs and pasta in sauce - I think because he needed the loo but wouldn't go back after it either. Yoghurt and few spoons of my custard (but no pie for him!)

Will definitely ask the butchers about mincing some turkey if I have no joy at asda when I shop next time.
