[krissie1234uk]

I wish my LO ate as good at this! He is seriously disinterested in food. He loves fruit and will eat it all day long, but is so fussy with everything else.

Yesterday for instance, he had:

Br - Oat Puff cereal and whole milk with a cup of milk.
Sn - A Handful of grapes, a cup of juice
Sn 2 - Some hula hoops (we were shopping and lunch was running late)
L - Half a sausage roll, a banana. A bit of home made cake.
Tea - Two mouthfuls of spag bol, followed by about 10 strands of spaghetti. A tiny mouthful of grated cheese. An apple.
Bed - A cup of milk

And that was a good day! I am keeping an eye on this thread for inspiration for tempting toddler food.

 

[labydird]

I think my kids tend to eat rather well because they are not milk drinkers. The eldest stopped breastfeeding at 19 months and the second at 18 months and both never took to milk as a drink after that (in a bottle or cup!)

So perhaps because there is not that 'promise' of a bottle/cup of milk at the end of the day they just eat more?

*my theory anyway! *

 

[Mama627]

Ella is almost 18 months and she just eats whatever we eat plus snacks in between. She's also somehow miraculously on the thin side, so her pediatrician has us pushing the food. So for example, yesterday she had this:

Breakfast #1 (as soon as she wakes up pretty much) - a sippy of milk, some cut fruit, and a handful of cheerios.
Breakfast #2 (with us) - pancakes with peanut butter and breakfast sausage.
Snack - banana **We only have a real breakfast on the weekends, usually it's just toast or something like that.
Lunch - leftovers from dinner the night before -- steak dipped in A-1 sauce, pasta, and peas. She drank juice with this meal.
Dinner - Salad (the majority of what she ate), eggplant parmesan, shells with meatballs and she drank milk.
Desert - Cut fruit and 1/2 a brownie
Post dinner snack - teddy grahams, cheeze-it's and milk

She also has a sippy cup of something to drink available to her all day long. During the peak heat of the day it's usually watered down juice or plain water because milk spoils too easily. She usually drinks milk with 2 of her 3 meals.

Isabella has got really bad teething pain and has been having tantrums at mealtimes (but childminder said she didn't do that today for her!). She is dribbling, rubbing her face, rosy-cheeked. Not sure which tooth/teeth it is tbh, but it is also making her spit food out that she would usually gulp down in seconds! She is still eating OK really, but just being a bit temperamental with food.

Today she has been at the childminder's most of the day and the childminder very helpfully didn't send her little book home, so am unsure what she had for lunch but my husband has made some kind of attempt at remembering what he was told she had! She was at home for breakfast and dinner.
