What did your toddler have to eat today?

[craftymum]

Today was a bit of a lazy day for me as I wasn't feeling too well, this is what Jacob had today
Breakfast: bite size weetabix
Snack: a few organix crisps
Lunch: toasted crusty, spaghetti hoops - mini muller rice, though he wasn't too keen on this.
Snack: Kiddylicious apple crisps
Dinner: butternut squash risotto, garlic bread, yoghurt, slice of pineapple, then he asked for a banana and ate about half of it!

My main problem is yoghurts, he loves the things so much that as soon as he's in his highchair he takes one bite of his food and starts pointing at the fridge asking for yoghurt, he then wont settle until he gets one, which he will eat and then go back to his food, but I want to try to stop this, just not sure how without a full blown screaming tantrum, any tips ladies? It only happens at lunch and dinner, never breakfast and never if we eat out or at someone else's house, so I guess he's manipulating us!

On the way to nursery Chloe had a yoghurt and a banana. She had weetabix and toast for breakfast, peppers and cucumber as a snack and I can't remember for lunch and dinner We are told what she eats at nursery each day but I don't have the book each day. When she got home she shared an easter bun treat then for supper had a few potato wedges and some fish, oh and another yoghurt. She is having a hungry day today.

Craftymum - I guess just stick through the tantrums, try and distract him. At Christmas Chloe got used to having chocolate coins and would for a while still point to where they used to be and would cry and moan for them. We just had to stick it out after a short while she realised it wasn't doing her any good - she wasn't getting any more coins.

today so far Faith has had ...
breakfast.
her 10oz of 1 year plus milk a piece of seeded toast with a teaspoon of nutella (or chocolate jam as she calls it!) a petit filous, a handful of strawberries.

mid morning snack.
half an apple, half a banana, and some grapes all chopped up with 2 goodies moon biscuits.

lunch.
shes not a big lunch eater as she is very tired by this time!
but she had a few slices of roast chicken, a big slice of cheese cut into cubes, some broccoli and about a quarter of a slice of bread (she will only eat 1 cut out piece of bread at lunch, today she wanted a star)

her afternoon snack.
will be some more fruit, its usually what she asks for i sit her on the worktop and she chooses it from the fruit bowl and helps me prepare it for her, it will probably be some kiwi and mango, as she loves them but they were in the fridge this morning and i have just moved them to the fruit bowl!

her dinner tonight will be
grilled salmon with some coconut rice and stir fried vegetables
(she eats the smae meal as me and OH of an evening as i like her to have a nice dining experience and learn her table manners)
tho she will probably just pick at dinner as she doesn't like to eat alot again at dinner because she is tired, but as long as she drinks her milk in the morning and her fruit then i dont mind as much if she doesnt eat alot.

DD also gets very weak squash to drink through the day as she hates water and sometimes she will get a hot chocolate (made with milk and chocolate not instant) as a treat after a long cold day.
we stick to certain meal times as best we can as i know with these timings that i can get as much ood into DD as possible!
