Typical eating day for your toddler

posted 14th Nov
What does your toddler eat on a normal basis? I find my LO (1 1/2) eats very little but seems to be in a good weight range according to her doctor. What type of meals do you feed them?

My LO usually eat yogurt & a banana for breakfast with a sippy of water and then a peanut butter sandwich for lunch with a sippy of milk and then dinner is usually whatever I cook. She has animal crackers between breakfast and lunch and some vegetables between lunch and dinner.

So just trying to see what your kids eat like.

LO is 13 months and isn't a real big eater. He nurses throughout the day and eats bites of whatever I'm eating. He will also drink milk from a sippy and bottled water.

Lin eats everything in sight  

Breakfast - a bowl of cereal or yogurt or 2 eggs and toast and a cup of milk.
Lunch - grilled cheese or any sandwich with soup, sometimes some pasta in sauce along with some milk.
Supper - Whatever we eat for supper that evening.

She has one snack in the morning and one in the afternoon and will have a bowl of cereal before bed.

Breakfast is usually either eggs or oatmeal (two days a week usually pancakes or french toast or sometyhing special) and fruit.

Snack is yogurt or fruit/veggies.

Lunch is generally a sandwich of some sort

Dinner is whatever I cook. They only drink water, no milk.

Zeke is constantly moving so he's burning so much energy all day long and that means he just eats like there is no tomorrow...

breakfast is either cheerios and milk or fried rice and on random days I'll make a big breakfast and he'll devour most of it himself with some eggs and rice(so bacon/sausage/spam..what ever I'm making)

lunch is either a sandwich(grilled cheese. ham and cheese) or left overs if he really liked dinner the night before(usually pastas or chicken)

and then dinner he eats what ever I cook...
he snacks on fruits or crackers(animal/gold fish) and if we have chips he'll eat those but we usually don't have those in the house...

i am SO glad to see this thread. Seriously!!!

my 15 month old is a pain in the ass with eating. My dr. tried to make it seem like it was my fault, or that she's going to need some kind of texture therapy.

She was eating much better but still doesn't like very much. She was eating sandwiches of peanut butter and jelly, and now? won't touch those (think it's the eye teeth)

But when she's normal, she eats almost half an english muffin, sometimes the full half, with peanut butter on it (she was borderline anemic so trying to boost that iron).
then she'd get a banana snack right before nap time around 10ish. Then for lunch she was having half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich & some kind of fruit. Snack time at 330-4, and then for dinner she would have more sandwich, sometimes a different kind, sometimes a pickle, and offered anything we have. she doesn't ever eat it though. usually cries when offered.

But now ? she's hardly touching anything. It's very stressful to me!!

For breakfast Bruce will have a bottle of milk with pancakes or waffles. Sometimes he will get toast with jelly. Lunch he will eat a grilled cheese (for the past 2 days we've had mexican) or left over dinner from the night before. Dinner is usually w/e we make. Then for bed he gets rocked to sleep with a bottle of milk.

He gets snacks and such in between meals also
