Julianne is fussy lately- ( ugh never was before!)..and doesnt eat as much as she use to . I know that once they are over a yr, all toddlers eat less. They do not need to gain as much weight after a year.. plus, with 2 new teeth coming in, her fever just broke sunday..so she is still a cranky baby
Rob mentioned last night that we dont give her a lot of chewy food to eat.
she will eat: cereal bananas, apples, strawberries, green grapes (some days) applesauce rice pudding american cheese/cheese sticks miso soup- especially the tofu (thank godness- its a protein) scrambled eggs sometimes pieces of chicken sometimes some steak mac and cheese sometimes homemade veg soup sometimes: mini pancakes bread- yes
wont eat cold cuts: turkey wont eat chicken fingers i bought sometimes will eat some green beans, broccoli string beans
what do you guys feed your little ones? I am getting tired of being a short order cook

Re: what do u give your toddler to eat?
My son is almost a vegeteren. He refuses to eat most meats except chicken. And he only eat the ground beef in a shepards pie.
He LIVES on potatoes!!! I mix veg into it so he doesn't realize to much. His favorite at this point is potatoes w/ carrots & parsnips. I mash them up together & add butter, a drop of milk & a drop of garlic powder.
He loves: pizza Grilled cheese pasta (on a good day) cereal waffles (the frozen kind) pancakes toast chicken nuggets french fries He is not a big fruit fan (he doesn't like the texture) yogurt

Re: what do u give your toddler to eat?
My daughter won't eat anything unless she can feed it to herself. SO....we are limited to finger foods! This is a typical days menu for her: BREAK> Scram egg w/ cheese *every other day* ---or cream of wheat cooked enough to pick-up Strawberries Wheat toast
SNACK> 1/2 Banana Goldfish crackers
LUNCH> Chicken Pasta (or Gerber pasta pick-ups) carrots 1/2 slice cheese
SNACK> Apple slices
DINNER> Diced pork Cottage cheese Green beans
SNACK> Graham crackers
We do try to vary her diet every few days but the items I listed above are the things she really likes. I hope this helps you a little.

a cut up hamburger

Re: what do u give your toddler to eat?

some times she THROWS them
Lately, more food lands on the floor, than what goes from the high chair to his mouth

Re: what do u give your toddler to eat?
Some of Annalise's favorites are: pancakes french toast sticks bread Gerber pasta pickup (meat, veggie, & starch in one) reg. pasta with cutup veggies (esp. peas) yogurt chicken nuggets/strips bananas- favorite fruit, but she eats others mac n cheese all kinds of cheese
We usually give her what we are having for dinner, but the above foods I always have on hand for either the sitter or when I need to feed her something other than what we are having. DH and I do not eat meat, so I try to get the meat into her at lunch. For dinner we have fish often and she eats some of the filet. She also loves tofu so she gets her protein in. I just checked for a peanut allergy over the past 2 weeks. Now she has a bite of peanut butter and jelly on grain bread if I am eating it. She has tons of things for snack- mostly Gerber cracker and cookies, graham crackers and cheerios.
