For breakfast I give toast or ready brek or weetabix. For lunch I give so many different things that i'd be too many to list. Things like pasta, sausages mash and veg, potato waffles and fish fingers etc. I tend to keep the food as healthy as posible though

i do 2 main meals a day. If they don't eat it at lunch time I will cook another main meal at 5-6pm. I know i'm mad but I want to catch them while they're hungry. Sometimes they are ready for their main meal at 1pm, sometimes at 6pm.

Thanks beck! More replies plz????

When tre was a toddler age 2 & up, for breakfast I gave him things like oatmeal, campbells soup, cold cereals and every once in a while pancakes....Along with some very warm hot chocolate.

But when he was around one, his breakfast consisted of a hot cereal, like rice/oatmeal/mixed grain (the baby cereal in the box) flavored with the apple/banana/ tropical fruit baby food.

For lunch it could be anything like kraft macaroni and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, a tuna sandwich, pasta with veggies... And a juice orange/apple/grape which was his only juice for the day.

Also throughout the day he had his snacks like apples & cheese, or a handful of seedless grapes etc...Healthy snacks and a junk food treat every once in a while. And I always had a sippy cup full of water on the table for when ever he got thirsty he could just get it himself.

I usually cut up apple and dry cereal for breakfast, I try waffles or make scrambled eggs but he tends to hardly eat that when imake it, lunch I make diff things, chicken fingers, rice and veggies, hot dog cut up with fruit etc , dinner is usualyl what we eat just cut up to suit him I try and do the same for lunch but they are such picky eaters but he loves fruit and most veggies.

Breakfast on a work day: yogurt, cereal and/or a banana or eggos, on a weekend: oatmeal, eggs and sausage, waflles

lunch: tons of stuff: grilled cheese, stew, cottage cheese, humus and pita... Whatever

supper: same as lunch: tons of diff stuff. Indian food, meatloaf, chicken, pasta, sloppy joes, veggies everything!! He's a pig.

My son is quite a picky eater and I don't know why because I have always made sure to try him on a wide range of foods and textures. For breakfast he usually has porridge and a banana but the rest of the day is a bit of a nightmare. He won't et any other fruit at all so I give him the pureed 'fruit pots' instead. He loves them with greek yoghurt. He lives on toast and marmite, cheese on toast, pasta, chicken mayo or egg mayo sandwiches, breadsticks, shreddies (dry) and naan bread. That's about it.

It really bugs me because I want him to be healthy but I don't want to make a big issue out of food so he gets a complex or anything.

caca lol I give .Jacob whatever because hes such a picky eater sometimes its hard to get him to eat. But lately he's been eating pretty good.. Like for breakfast he'll eat an egg with cheddar cheese melted on it for protein and dairy with a glass of apple juice, and lunch he usually eats pasta and dinner he eats whatever we eat.

Haha.. I give her a boob.. Or two

lmao!!!!

I normally give .Adriana baby cereal with fruit...But now .I've started rotating and giving her toast and yogurt also some sort of real fruit. Soon .I will introduce eggs.

For lunch she used to eat the baby food meals....Tho she's seemed to outgrow the taste for them (can you blame her?) so .I share my lunch with her and she eats pretty much everything .I eat unless it's greasy or spicy. Same with dinner, she likes what we have. She .L.O.V.E.S avacado, and tortillas.....Flour or corn.

As for a drink she sometimes gets juice, but she mainly gets formula or water. She doesn't care for a lot of juice.

Trey hates juice. Still won't drink it. He looooves water though. The dentist loves us.

I bet. She drinks juice now better than she did before. She doesn't even get juice everyday. Tho .I did just get some cranberry/apple juice and she seems to like that alright. I got cranberry because of her recent .U.T.I

good idea, god poor babies, wonder if it's as painfull as our utis.

I believe so, maybe even worse because they have to wear a diaper (even tho we change her *all* the time)

hmm....She's discovered .Chavo (our chihuahau) likes her leftovers, so now she intentionally throws her food on the floor lol.

I was told not to take .Jacob to the dentist until age 2 or 3..

what?!?!?!??!!

Oni has an appt for right after .Christmas.

My mom's a dental hygientist and says that as soon as baba's get teeth,you can send them. It also helps with anxiety of Dr./.Dentist offices as they grow.

Determining if decay has began is important. Let's say, you have well water, it contains *no* flouride...Which leads to decay early on.

Since solids were stablished...

Breakfast-
1 year old- weetabix (1)
4 year old-same, or porridge (she likes porridge)

lunch-
usually dinner left-overs!
If no left overs- at the moment they are both liking pita and hommus with tomato (with olives for the 4 year old), or toasted sandwiches (chese tomato) um, brown rice and vegetables.

Dinner- whatever we are having.
Favorites for both kids are spaghetti bolognaise, fish, rice, crumbed chicken, sausages (shudder), curry, etc.

Snacks are usually sultanas, nuts for the older one, rice cakes, fruit (especially pears and oranges) raw vegetables.
Treats are usually
strawberries, rasberries, pineapple or melon slices, home-made ice-pops, biscuits and ocassionally (blue moon!) ice cream or chocolate for the older child, yoghurt.

We all eat the same foods.
We don't buy any processed or pre-packaged food at all except our meat, hommus, tomato paste, natural yogurt, coconut milk, bread (whole-grain or pida) canned tomatoes, olive oil, eggs and ocaasionally bacon.

Very occasionally we do get burgers or pizza delivery or whatever, we're not millitants!! But our regular day-to-day diet does'nt include these foods.
I like carbonated water, but my husband and my kids don't drink fizzy soft drinks at all.
We do our best to eat well 'cos we eat as a family- whatever we're having, you can bet the children will be having that too.

yeah his pediatrician said it wasnt necessary til then.

Although I disagreed, I followed her advice.

Hm.

They had a pediatric dentist come to moms and tots when we were in it and as trey had all his teeth by 14 months, she said we should go. Haven't gone yet to an office yet but he was seen by her twice more.

a new study shows that if you're formula feeding you don't want to use water with fluoride in it because the formula has enough. Too much fluoride isn't good, they're even trying to get that bottled "nursery water" off the shelves.


I know that has nothing to do with this, you just reminded me.
