I also don't think its right to deny your little one special treats and snacks like ice cream now and then. Its not gonna kill them. I'm curious to see what your kids (around 10-30 months but it doesn't really matter) eat! Be as brief or long winded as you like. Here's a sample of my 14 month old's menu:
Breakfast
Sliced bananas with wheat germ
Multi grain waffles
Canned fruit
Multi-grain cheerios, regular cheerios, other cereal
A whole apple, peeled
Sliced fruit to dip in yogurt
Graduates cereal bars
Scrambled eggs
Lunch or Dinner
Baked sweet potato
Baked pork chops
Mashed potatos
Steamed mixed veggies (peas, carrots, corn, butternut squash, green beans, lima beans)
Corn tortillas and refried beans
Chicken breast, sliced, breaded, and baked (a healthier alternative to chicken nuggets) to dip in ketchup, BBQ,
or marinara sauce
Wholewheat pasta (chopped spaghetti, or small shapes like penne and wagon wheels to pick up) in sauce with mini
meatballs (ground beef or lean ground turkey)
Rice and steamed veggies in a cheesy sauce
Corn on the cob (lots of fun!)
Gerber and Beechnut microwave meals for when you just don't have time
Turkey w/ mustard, tuna, Simply JIF Peanut Butter & Jelly, sandwiches on multigrain bread cut into quarters
Breadsticks to dip in marinara sauce
Avocado
Plain oatmeal with a little bit of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and granola (no raisins,
they're a choking hazard)
Breaded chicken breast stuffed with mozarella and spinach and baked
Slow-cooked pork shoulder, pulled into strips. This is very easy to eat and can be used for so many recipes
such as sandwiches or seasoned mexican style on corn tortillas with guacamole.
Flank steak roasted in the oven with veggies, potatos, and mushrooms
Snacks
Fruit to dip in yogurt
Kashi TLC multigrain veggie crackers
Kashi TLC multigrain cookies or cereal bars
Quakers mini rice cakes (cheddar or apple cinnamon flavor)
Low fat string cheese
Lunchables JR. (comes with crackers, turkey, and mozzarella)
Prunes (Be very careful not to eat too many! One a day is enough, but they have wonderful health properties)
Instead of ice cream, try frozen yogurt
Beverage
Rice milk
Danimals yogurt drinks
Milk, a little nesquick powder, and a banana mixed in a blender (you can also add cheerios!)
Orange juice, mixed fruit juice, or Juicy Juice Harvest Surprise fruit juice with carrot juice + 50% water
Chamomile tea sweetened with orange juice instead of sugar and watered down (great for bed time!)
Peppermint, lemon, and other herbal teas (make sure that they are normal herbs that are safe!)
Hopefully we can get ideas and learn from each other!
My son eats pretty healthy as well, but I allow him treats occasionally. He is 18 months old. He is allowed whole milk with meals and water in between but no juice. He has always been a good eater and eats a large variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc. The only thing he isn't doing well with right now is meat. Sometimes he is ok with it, others he is not. I try to choose healthy snacks. I am not as concerned with calories as I am artificial ingredients, flavorings and corn syrup. I try to choose snacks without those things. He is a tall skinny kid so I don't give him reduced fat anything at this time. My pediatrician did not recommend it due to high sodium content in light dairy, etc. So for now he gets regular cheese, milk, yogurt.
bugs and spiders...lol..my daughter is 12 months and shes practically eating everything i eat..much smaller portions...she really enjoys it!
my son eats what ever i eat he is 19 months old his weight is about 30lbs and he is 33 inches tall i think most people worry needlessly about what their child eats i think as long as they are active you should not have a to worry about what they eat
