What are you feeding your Pumpkins for breakfast/lunch/dinner? what about snacks?

[alwayssmile]

Aiden is still BFing 4-5 times a day. He gets a light breakfast. Usually a banana and puffs. After his morning nap he gets lunch which is either whatever I'm having or I'll make him a peanut butter sandwich and give it to him with a veggie (he loves sweet potatoes and peas right now) and fruit (pineapple, apples, pears, grapes and oranges are favorites). Dinner is whatever I've fixed for the family. This is usually the meal where he gives me a look like "what the heck lady?" and pitches half of it off the edge. Aiden has only ever had finger foods. He'll try anything I give him, but he doesn't necessarily like it. lol. Aiden gets the boob for snacks.

[MommyBeth]

MaryBeth usually has cereal and a fuit mix or yougart for breakfast. A bottle at naptime and lunch shortly after she gets up. Lunch is either 2.5 oz jar of baby meat, and 2 jars or fruit and/or veggie or 6oz jar 3rd stage and a fruit or veggie. Supper is cereal and bottle. Snacks consist of puffs and juice or water.

*Note MaryBeth still has no teeth(working on some I think). But we are starting to give her more table foods.

[tiffaknee]

pretty much whatever we eat. If I don't make anything for breakfast or lunch through the week, I'll give them a banana and cheerios or something...lunch usually some type of noodle and crackers...dinner is whatever I cook for us. Snacks usually are crackers, bananas, yogurt, cookies, etc.

They have 9 teeth and are working on their 10th.

[Lynsie]

Bentley usually only has 2 meals a day, plus 4 bottles and snacks. He still doesn't have any teeth so sometimes it's a little challenging to find finger foods he can eat in the house. For breakfast he usually gets some fruit, or pancakes/waffle, or nutrigrain bar. For snack he gets puffs and juice. For dinner he eats whatever we eat as long as it's soft and cut down small. I can't wait for him to get some teeth.

[Crystal78]

For breakfast Aleyah will eat either oatmeal, scrambled egg or toast with half a banana.

lunch is usually leftovers from dinner the night before.

Dinner is whatever I make.

Through out the day I will give her puffs or a fruit bar.

She only gets 3 bottles a day (Morning nap, afternoon nap an bedtime)

Sh has 8 teeth but her lack of molars doesn't slow down her eating!

[nurselochia]

Poor Caleb still has such a sensitive gag reflex.
For breakfast, he'll have a yogurt
Lunch, some pureed fruit of some kind
Same for dinner.

He does get a fair number of bottles through the day, and will nurse in the evenings. I put finger foods in front of him: puffs, small bites of whatever we're having, but he just doesn't do well with any of it. Some gets into him, but most he pushes out with his tongue or gags and spits up. Then after the finger foods, I give him the pureed. Eventually he'll outgrow this, I hope. I do give him a spoon to play with, hoping to help desensitize that overactive gag reflex he has. Will be asking about it at his appt next week

Isla eats a lot of different stuff

B: Pancakes/waffles with fruit, oatmeal, banana, blueberries, raspberries, cheerios, toast w/cream cheese or PB and jelly, muffins, sausage, hash browns

L: Pasta w/sauce or cheese and usually a canned veggie mixed in, grilled cheese, fish filets, chicken nuggets, spinach nuggets that I have made, leftovers, steamed veggies (shes becoming pickier about these so sometimes I put parm or ketchup on them), soup (strained to get the noodles and veg out), crackers w/avocado or hummus

D: Whatever we are having or the same things as lunch. Tonight we are having pot roast w/carrots, potatoes, onions, and biscuits so I'm sure she'll love it. She also loved a chicken pot pie that I made

She is my good little eater...Keller still eats PB and crackers for half his meals.

[caley27]

Breakfast: A bottle or sippy cup of milk, yogurt and fruit.

Lunch: Whatever DH feeds her. Yesterday it was spaghetti.

Dinner: Again, whatever we have. Example, two nights ago we had pasta salad, chicken and steamed broccoli. She loved everything!

She is not picky one bit, unlike her big sister who still eats like a bird. Ugh!

Explain theses spinach nuggets please!!!!

Aleyah is so not picky, she loves meat, potatoes, carrots, broccoli.....well pretty much everything!

[alwayssmile]

I find it interesting that at almost a year (or at a year for some), many are concerned about giving most table foods due to teeth. I guess I never really considered teeth to be necessary for finger foods and didn't give it a second thought. DS started solids at just shy of 6 months. Didn't get his first tooth till almost 8 months. He just got his 3rd and 4th teeth this past week. Hasn't stopped him from eating anything!

[KellersMom517]

I was worried about teeth with Keller, then I realized he was eating table foods long before he got molars for grinding food so I never really worried about it with Isla. And she's my good eater b/c I wasn't relying on purees so long like I did with Keller. I ruined him. LOL

[jensma]

tyler is a meal thrower too! LOL he likes to feed the dogs.

Breakfast is usually a waffle or some other bread that's easy to tear up, i try to give him a little meat (he's had bacon and sausage), fruit (loves bananas) and sometimes yogurt. Breakfast he almost always eats table food, and it varies on what we have.

lunch is usually grilled cheese, chicken nuggets, leftovers from dinner, ravioli with beef or the like, and fruit. He likes pears a lot (i do packed in water/fruit juice and rinse them) or fresh fruit if we have some in the house. He slammed some grapes on friday.

dinner is usually some of whatever we've had...he loves fries, chicken, burgers, etc. Even bean burritos.

He's not so keen on tacos, hot dogs, peaches, and noodles. He's kind of a turd. And he HATES being fed.

[Hope74]

Max is still eating baby foods, formula, and BM. He loves banana, but other than that we haven't tried many finger foods. He's still reluctant to eat the chunky baby food, too.

[KellersMom517]

The spinach nuggets are basically thawed frozen spinach, egg, stuffing mix (dry - like Pepperidge Farm or something), sauteed onions & mushrooms, and parmesan cheese all mixed together, rolled into balls and then I freeze it. Then when I want to make them I just bake them in the oven @ 350 for about 15 min.

Also, you can add crumbled hot sausage for a yummy appetizer

[Treysmama]

Trey is just now starting to eat more table food....

Breakfast: He gets oatmeal, and a fruit(babyfood) and then I give him either half a cereal bar or cheerios

Lunch: He either gets some kind of veggie(babyfood) or pasta pickups

Dinner: Pretty much anything...lol..mac n cheese, noodles, ckn, spagettie....pretty much what ever we eat.

[LumpyOatmeal]

Logan isn't particularly picky about what he eats as long as it isn't slimy. He hates waiting for me to feed him, so I try to give him stuff he can feed himself, but if it is the least bit slimy he won't touch it.

So for Breakfast he usually eats oatmeal or yogurt of some kind, which I have to feed him and he hates.

For lunch I usually do some of the quick cook pasta or chicken nuggets. The pasta dries out pretty fast so it's not slimy like the pasta pickups, which is great for him.

For dinner he will do whatever we are having, but he usually doesn't eat much, and starts feeding the dogs pretty quick. So I always have a backup of some sort for him. He will do the pasta pickups for dinner, but I have to disguise them or take them out of the liquid and let them sit for a little bit.

I am terrible about veggies and fruits, so I really need to work on making them more, but he does seem to like all of the ones that I have made. And he still gets about 3 bottles a day, plus he has a sippy cup with some water that he carries around and mostly spills down the front of himself.

Ryder LOVES to eat. He also makes silly faces now cause he knows they get a reaction lol. Breakfast is usually oatmeal, waffles, pancakes, granola bars, or something like that plus some fruit or yogurt or dry cereal. He just discovered fruit loops (my fault for leaving them where he could reach them) and it's his new favorite. Before he had only had cheerios.

Lunch is grilled cheese, chicken nuggets, alfredo pasta, hot dog/ corn dog, mac and cheese, pizza, ravioli, spaghetti, or something like that plus veggies and fruit. He loves peas and carrots right now. Green beans he thinks are so so. And then fruit is usually peaches, strawberry, or apple right now.

Dinner is whatever I am having most of the time. If I'm going out and know he won't eat the food I'm getting then he'll get whatever I come up with. I have given him kids cuisines before and he loves those...

He typically drinks water or juice with his meals and has bottles every other time...

Snacks he likes the pop tart bites, Ritz bits cheese crackers are his faves and I buy them in the snack size packs, cookies, fruit with carmel dip, pretty much anything I have

[Crystal78]

I am so going to have to make the spinach nuggets they sound good!!! thanks!!

[alicenwonderland]

I hope something soon!!! Teddy is only drinking formula right now, coming off a really terrible food reaction that caused a GI bleed. Hoping to start rice over again next week!
