After dinner deserts for 1 and 2 year olds?

Question

What do you give them for desert, how much of it, and how often?

Answer 1

okay we all know we don't always feed our kids what is good for them some times you can give them a little junk let them taste everything its a new exsperience for them, just don't go over board with it, fruit is always great give them some yogurt, make jello in some cool shapes let them feel the jigglly stuff and when you want to give them some junk, my little boy(23mo.) loves ice cream sandwhiches,or just plain ice cream, put some fruit in a milk shake so that it's a little mixture of both. Cookies all kinds,fig newtons are a good snack, get some fruit cups that will save time on trying to clean the kitchen while the kids are finishing with desert, although fresh fruit is better just becareful that they don't choke. Bake a cake everyone enjoy a piece of cake for desert,Brownies and milk, okay well hope some of this helps you good luck!

Answer 2

Fresh fruit, whole grain muffins, etc. I would cut up a normal (cupcake) size muffin in 1/2, then 1/4 and give them each a 1/4 to 1/2. As for the fruit, just a little so they don't get a tummy ache. Also good is cheerios.

Answer 3

jello, pudding, fruit, low fat ice cream, NOT every day of the week we tend to have desert maybe 2-3 times a week. my kids are 8 1/2 and 10 1/2.

Answer 4

Any kind of pudding! Then theres apple sauce- they even come in flavors now like peach and strawberry applesauce! They can eat pumpkin pie! Cake is always a favorite but let him eat that in the tub- easier clean up! lol Anything smooth without alot of lumps and things a baby cant chew really well! Short bread cookies- those melt right in your mouth !

Answer 5

We dont normal do do desert, we do have fruit as part of our meal but no desert. My 2 year old eats healhier than I do or most adults I know, by choice. She would take fruit over candy and veggies over chips

Answer 6

I usually do some kind of fruit. Maybe a mixed fruit. Every now and then I will give them a fruit fluff type thing - fruit mixed with whipped cream. Jello with fruit pieces in it is good too. You don't have to be too creative when they are this young. God bless.

Answer 7

Since they are young junk food might not be the best. Cut up fruit (strawberries, grapes, watermelon etc) And maybe give them a little bit of cool whip to dip it in. Fun, yummy, and still pretty good for them.

Answer 8

yogurt, apple sauce or fruit is your best bet. You don't want to start them off on cookies are puddings because that leads to a great big sweet tooth. But be careful with giving grapes to children that young. They may choke

Answer 9

whatever you want ,and whatever the toddler will eat,like a dessert in my house is a ''sunday''treat dat way its appreciated more but i do whole fruit in a big bowl for the family left in da table for an hour or two dat way my toddlers gets a taste of fruits all together at da same time im sure they eat some thing out of da bowl as well as the rest of us

Answer 10

Fruit is good. We always cut grapes in half to eliminate choking problems, and she really liked them. Any kind of pudding is good--rice pudding, tapioca, rennet custard (Junket is the brand name).
