[HALEY]

Does anyone have any toddler meal ideas, i think Micah is getting sick of, chicken, grilled cheese, eggs, pancakes, i don't know what else to feed him, he gets all his fruits and veggies, i'm having problems with dinner meals, any ideas?
Thanks ladies!!!

I googled Toddler's Nutritional Requirements, and came up with this - it's interesting.

Thanks Judy, that was very interesting, but i don't agree on one thing. That some toddlers only eat two meals, these people haven't met my Big BOY LOL
when i got to work here is what i pack for NA-NA

example of Breakfast:

3 pancakes
fruit
juice

snack
yogurt
cookies

lunch
kids meal
plus side mac and cheese.

mid day snack
jello
banana
then when he comes home he still eats a dinner...
That's my boy, i love big babies !!!

I'm a big believe in just giving the kids whatever you are eating. Sometimes you hav to serve something 3 or 4 times before they like it, but believe me it will make your life easier down the road if they get used to eating whatever you eat. It avoids picky eating and having to worry when you go somewhere. My kids ate tuna, steak, and chinese food as toddlers.

i would do that Teri but i don't eat Breakfast or Dinner, i just eat lunch and i'm good for the day, i'm not a big eater at all. and my husband don't cook out on the grill until about 8-9 at night, so i have to do a special meal for just him.

I think that any food that they can pick up and is chewable for them is alright. You might try Cheerios for breakfast or a snack. Macaroni and Cheese is always a favorite. Peas, green beans, hominy, or pork and beans. Vienna sausages are good too or you can get the baby food kind. Hmmmm.....I'm having a hard time remembering because my baby is 16 now!!

I agree with what Teri said too.
