What does your 1 year old toddler eat in a day? What kind of meals do you give them?

Answer 1

My 14 month old son is sooo picky when it comes to eating... he's also teething, so he doesn't eat much at one time, but picks at stuff throughout the day. For breakfast, I give him toast and a banana, and sometimes those mini pancakes. He loves cherry mixed fruit cups, so he gets those throughout the day. For lunches, I'll do eggs, hot dogs (cut up into small pieces), shredded lunch meat, mac and cheese, ravioli, avocado pieces, jelly and butter sandwiches cut into small pieces, and for dinner he eats the same things, although I try and give him what we're eating. He LOVES spaghetti and meatballs! Also, for snacks he has goldfish crackers, fruit, pudding, or gerber cereal bars. I'm always looking for new food ideas myself!

Answer 2

Unfortunately I'm not good at regular meals so I do a lot of "quick foods" during the day. He eats about anything so thats not a problem. It's easy to do Eggos for breakfast (no syrup) cheerios that stuff so I make sure to add some protien to lunch even if its just shredded lunchmeat which he loves. Dinner is always a meal I give a little of everything and more of whatever he likes veggies and such. Things kids love one day they might not touch two days later so try not to worry or plan to far ahead. Have fun

Answer 3

my son is 16 months old and he has just about all his teeth already so I give him just about anything. Breakfast: he gets dry cereal, and sippy cup of milk, Lunch: he eats a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or some chicken nuggets and a few cheetos, and some juice. Dinner: he eats whatever I cook. Chicken, spegetti, vegtables, mashed potoes and gravy, hamburger, for desert usually a fresh fruit that I cut up for him a peach, plum. I give him one cookie as a snack between lunch and dinner and water or juice. He would eat more if I would let him but since he already weighs over 28 lbs, I try to limit what he eats.

Answer 4

I am raising 2 grandchildren and basically, I feed them whatever I am eating. Except in instances like last night where I made curry beef. I thought it may be a little too spicy for them so I made them mashed potatoes, green beans and hot dogs. But usually they eat pretty much whatever I am having and have since they were 10 or 11 months old.

Answer 5

Answer 6

One year olds can at most things, although there are some exceptions such as nuts. Also, please remember not to put salt in childrens' food. I think it's pretty obvious that now is the time to introduce your child to healthy eating, low in saturated fat and sugar. I don't think children should be given sweets until they are much older, did you know that childrens' teeth can rot in the gums before they actually come through.

Answer 7

I give my 1 year old the gerber snack foods throughout the day...I give her the biter biscuits, the zwieback toast, the animals crackers,wagon wheels...the gerber items like that. For her meals, I give her the gerber graduates meals...the little tv dinner one's, and the bowls of stuff, like that pasta shells and cheese...
and for dinner, we feed her what we eat. I bought a manual food grinder (I got it at K-mart)...you fill it with whatever you want, and grind it up yourself. So she eats what we eat for dinner.

Answer 8

They need a good balance of the food groups. For example, for breakfast they could have pancakes and applesauce, lunch they could have chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes, green beans and milk, snack they could have cheese and crackers and juice and for dinner they could have corn dogs, mixed veg., pineapple and milk. If you google 'sample daycare menus' you can find lots of good ideas.
