What did your toddler eat today? Part 5

[Khalam's Mama]

Thanks for the reassurance re breakfast.

Today:
B: Omlette and toast and baked beans
L: 1/4 cheese sandwich, 1/4 pink lady apple and 1/2 nectarine
At his aunt's
S: few doritos, 1/3 butter biscuit
D: from BBQ, 1/4 beef burger, 1/4 lamb skewer, 2 cherry tomatoes, few bites red pepper, chunk of crusty roll
S: swig of coke (his 1st - helped himself from someone's glass on low table in my absence- opps) prune juice and few Cheerios

Not my proudest day foodwise but it's so hard to say no when it is there and everyone else is eating it!

Yesterday, main meals near enough refused - definitely teeth.

B - 1 weetabix and some of his sister's cornflakes
S - Sweetcorn rings
L - Few mouthfuls of cottage pie, pot of pureed fruit
S - Some of Dh's yogurt, some of his sister's banana, more sweetcorn rings
D - Refused, had pot of fruit, and yogurt

sweetcorn rings?

[<Catherine>]

Not as fantastic as they sound.....baked organic corn snack coated in sweetcorn (in a ring shape!)

DD used to love sweetcorn rings - tho she's not so fussed on 'crisp type' snacks anymore - she's got a sweet tooth like Daddy 

Yesterday
B: rice crispies, few shreddies, few CN cornflakes & milk, bit of milk to drink, cherries, apple juice
S: pack of yoghurt coated sesame snaps (3), flavoured water
L: courgette / zucchini slice with tuna rice salad (again mainly picked out the olives  ), grapes, juice
S: mini kabanos (salami), more grapes, water
D: nothing - refused sausage risotto so I explained that there was nothing else on offer and she was happy with that 

Today
B: rice crispies, few shreddies, few CN cornflakes & milk, mixed dried fruit pieces (large pieces of apple, pear and whole dates - DH got them from M&S - it's the posh-est dried fruit I've ever had  ), OJ
S: mixed dried berries (the more common variety - cranberries, raisins, apricot, etc) in supermarket, water
L: home-made spicy cabbage, potato & butterbean soup, babybel cheese, bread and garlic soft cheese
S: humzinger, piece of licorice, water
D: few mouthfuls of sausage risotto (still not happy about it tho  ), yoghurt, fruit pot (peaches in juice), bit of gingerbread biscuit, milk

[Khalam's Mama]

Ah I have seen them in the supermarket actually, the sweetcorn rings.

Today (got better as the day went on):
B: few bites omlette and toast and few spoons weetabix
L: few bites each chicken, lamb kebab, carrot, 1/4 cheese sandwich
D: rest of chicken from lunch, pasta in humous/pesto, peas, sweetcorn, blueberries x10, raspberries x 4, 1/2 a large strawberry. few spoons yoghurt and multigrain cereal

[<Catherine>]

Today wasn't so good, teeth definitely causing some problems!

B - Weetabix (surprise, surprise! Really need to find an alternative here!!)

His snacks, luch and dinner kind of turned into 'bits of food here and there' as he just would not have his main meals, so overall he had:-

Lots of carrot stick crisps (I figured this was better than eating nothing at all!!), some of a banana, a yogurt, pot of pureed fruit, some of a ginger bread man, a bread stick.

The carrot sticks and sweetcorn rings are geat as snacks for DS as he can be fussy about textures, it's the only snack he'll eat plenty of, anything else tends to get a few nibbles but not much more!!

B - cheerios, strawberries, 1/2 bread roll with pb
S - few raisins, few rice snacks
L - shepherd's pie, peas and carrots followed by Eton Mess (!) at great grandma's house
S - corn snacks
D - Sausages and beans on toast, yoghurt

DS used to love those sweetcorn rings too - bizarrely they really do taste like sweetcorn!

[Mom to M&M]

DS is also having teething affect his eating - so he's not eating unless he's REALLY hungry. So I didn't give him any afternoon snack and he was starving for dinner. Felt badly and he was clamoring on me while I was cooking but he did eat a really good dinner... Poor guy

B: fruit. really nothing else. and not a lot of that either
S: animal crackers in shopping cart
L: a bit of yogurt, scrambled egg with cheese and spinach (took some distracting though), few pieces cut up strawberry
D: chicken marsala, sweet potato "fries", few multigrain cheerios

Will also see if he wants any toasted whole wheat bagel with butter while big sister takes a bath (so I can keep him in stroller really)

Never heard of sweetcorn rings; they must be a UK thing?

Nathan ate lots today...

B: whole wheat toast with butter, peanut butter, and blueberry jam
S: toddler's cereal bar
L: corn, peas, and sweet potato (which he carefully picked out and refused to eat!)
S: cheese cubes, animal crackers
D: whole wheat penne in pesto with onions, turkey, peas, and red pepper mixed in and extra parmesan on top

[~Sara~]

Today was a big day for DS--he had his first taste of Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets!

B: mixed-grain cereal with applesauce and strawberries (I have to flavor his cereal with fruit or he just spits it out)
S: yogurt melts
L: chicken nuggets and some french fries...he didn't eat much of it, though he LOOOOOOVED it!  He's storing everything in his cheeks, which kind of limits quantity since I don't want him to choke
S: whole grain cheese puffs & a Mum-Mum
D: fettuccine with parmesan marinara; avocado; peaches...and a little taste of my vanilla ice cream

Overall not a very healthy day, but I'm just happy to see him eating different things!

They're from the Organix range of snacks / foods - think they are UK based . . .

They do too! I tried one yesterday, and the carrot sticks - they taste of carrots too! I was stuck in traffic and was starving so we shared his carrot sticks!

[teilvnav]

(I have to flavor his cereal with fruit or he just spits it out)

Have you ever tasted the stuff? I did, it is gross! I didn't blame Nathan for spitting it out after that! I can't really spoon feed him anymore anyway, so I am waiting to re-add cereal like that until he can use a spoon himself. He just pushes my hand away or tried to grab the food off the spoon when I try; we are sticking to finger foods for now, with the occassional sneaky help from me.

Thanks for the link, Bernie... I know what you guys mean, now. They have similar stuff here, although not that specific kind (that I have seen). Nathan used to like these little star puffs by Graduates that disintigrated immediately in his mouth; they come in peach, apple cinnamon, and sweet potato flavours.

Ugh...so we're not doing too great with food still, PLUS I still don't always know what she ate at the sitter's....she usually sends a paper home but sometimes forgets.

Yesterday (what I know if anyway)

B-granola bar and milk (think she had more at sitter's)
S-?
L-chicken sticks (shaped like mini hot dogs) (also sent spaghetti o type things but they weren't eaten so maybe she'll eat them today)
S-?
D-Gen. Tso's chicken, white rice, broccoli (not fan of the chicken, was a bit spicy), mei fun with pork (liked these noodles better)....kinda picked at DH and I's food and didn't eat much....had diluted juice
