what are your toddlers eating habits like?

Question

Just wondering what and when (ish) they eat thank you x

just wondered cause my daughter will eat breakfast not much at all for lunch and her dinner then milk before bed.She will probably just have fruit for lunch

Answer 1

They change daily........

she gets morning meds at 7am
breakfast at 8am (no sugar cereal, toast, oatmeal, or the like. about 1 or 2 times per week she has eggs)
snack around 10am (something little. friut bar, puffs, etc)
lunch at 12:00 (Graduates meal, PBJ, leftovers from dinner thenight before)
snack at 3pm (again, something little)
dinner at 5 (whatever we are eating)
snack at 8:00pm (4oz Pediasure, grapes, puffs, 40z whole milk - in that order!)

She is REALLY finicky some days. there are days where she will eat anything we put in front of her, and other days where she will just pick. some days she eats every bite of her bedtime snack, other days she willl barely touch it.....but she wants it in the exact same order every night, which is more funny than annoying. she drinks whole milk with lunch and dinner and water with snacks. she was on 4oz Pediasure three times per day because of her severe reflux, but is now off of that.......we just give it to her at night because #1 we have a lot left and #2 she expects it.

Answer 2

My 16 mos old daughter is a very good eater. She gets up around 9 ish and has breakfast-some cheerios, sippy of milk, and a banana. Around 11-12 ish we have lunch--could be a half a sandwich with some fruit or veggies and watered down juice. Then its naptime. She gets up around 3 ish and its snack time--perhaps a graham cracker with soynut butter (allergic to peanuts) or some fruit with yogurt and milk. Then dinner is what we eat with water. Then she has a sippy of milk before bedtime. Hope that helped!

Answer 3

Right now my daughter doesn't really eat a lot but I try to have her eat 5 times a day.
Cereal (or whatever my husband makes)-7:00-8:00
Any type of fruit-10:00-11:00
Usually a sandwich- 12:30-2:00
Snack bar- 3:00-4:30
Dinner-5:00-6:00
"Special" Milk- 7:30-8:00 (right before bed)
I think that she is on a pretty healthy diet.

Answer 4

My daughter usually has cereal and toast for breakfast. Or sometimes just fruit(depends how hungry she is). For lunch it is usually either soup and bread or a sandwich. This comes with more fruit and some jelly. For tea she usually has say potatoes with meat and veg or a spaghetti bolonaise. For supper she likes a crumpet and milk. But sometimes it seems she hardly eats anything i give her, but other days she eats like she wont stop. I also give her the odd treat of biscuits or chocolate. Depends how well she is eating. She eats every fruit and veg even sprouts so her eating cant be that bad

Answer 5

My older son was an ok eater, he ate most things I gave him but had a love for sweetcorn, broccoli and mushrooms.

My 2year old however will not eat anything apart from chips. He's not interested in sweeties and ice-cream much, but chips are the only thing I can guarantee he will eat. I do try make sure he gets lots of milk to drink throughout the day, I still give him progress milk. He eats anything they give him at nursery with all the other babies, it's very much a social thing for him!! But outwith nursery, he hardly eats anything apart from chips. Don't think my grill has ever worked so hard before!

Answer 6

My son hardly eats at all. He'll eat maybe eat yogurt for breakfast (occasionally a whole container), just fruit or veggies for lunch, and maybe some dinner. He usually does eat snacks. I'm always amazed that eating as little as he does that he gains any weight.

Answer 7

mine was ripping apart steak since before he had teeth. He ate anything and everything. when his jaws seemed strong enough and he was mashing with them, I would give him anything i could mash easily between my fingers like well cooked veggies or soft fruits. Once he was good with that Id give him things like cheerios, but at first i would make sure i smashed them too. He never liked baby foods though. Only try one type of food at a time in case he has any allergies you'll know what caused it.Always keep a close eye and let your child's reaction to each bite guide you. wish i could get him to eat like that now, hes 3. He only wants pizza and chicken nuggets.

Answer 8

Well one eats everything besides mashed potatoes and mac and cheese I know it's weird but he would rather eat green beans lol. My daughter hardly eats at all and I wonder sometimes if she is healthy but every time i ask the Dr. they say it's normal she does love some pizza though.

Answer 9

My girls ate very small amounts very often when they were toddlers. Not much room in those little stomachs. I just tried to always keep healthy things ready-made and available, so it wasn't a big deal. When we were going out I'd bring a little lunchbox with healthy snacks because they were bound to want something every half hour or so.

Answer 10
