What is a typical daily menu for your one year old?

Question

I'm just looking for some new ideas. I know people always say to feed them whatever you're having, but my husband doesn't eat breakfast and isn't home for lunch. I eat stuff that he can't have for breakfast (protein breakfast bar) and don't really eat an official lunch (I kinda just snack on fruits and veggies throughout the day). He's usually hungry for dinner around 4 or 5 and we don't eat until 6, so I have to feed him seperately for that too (he does sit w/ us at the dinner table though). Anyway, just curious to hear what you're doing.

Answer 1

7.00 or 7.30 has a bottle

8.30 has breakfast like baby cereal and bit of toast

lunch about 12.30 or 1 he has banana and bread or scrambled eggs,yogurt and a drink

and has dinner at 5 usually whatever we are having maybe you could give him a snack and a bottle at 3 which would keep him going till 6

Answer 2

A typical day for my son is

Breakfast:  french toast, cut up (no syrup) or cherrios and bananas

Lunch:  cut up whole wheat bread, cut up cheese,  cut up turkey breast, carrots and peaches or pears

Dinner:  Whatever we are eating for dinner.

I give him one of the Gerber graduates snacks before dinner because my son is hungry right around 4 and we eat at 6.

Good luck.  Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Great question!  We're always looking for new ideas, too.

Breakfast: eggs, yogurt, applesauce, cereal, oatmeal, bacon, ham, sausage, hashbrowns, pancakes.

Lunch/Supper: Meat or fish (stew, fried, baked, etc.), rice/mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, salad.  Or pasta or rice fried with meat and veggies.

Mommy-had-a-rough-day-at-work-suppers:

-pasta with those creamy sauces that come as powder and you just add water and butter, with some fried sausage or shrimps thrown in

-instant creamy-sauce pasta in a package

-chicken fingers or fish cakes with fries

Here is a daily menu for everyone from 8 months on. Breakfast 2 days a week is cold cereal with milk in it and a glass of juice, 3 days a week we have a hot breakfast, waffles, pancakes, French toast, bagels, toast, eggs, English muffin, etc... and a glass of milk. Lunches are different each day here are some things we eat, PBJ sandwich, veggies, fruit, milk - Hot dogs, veggies, fruit, milk - spaghetti, veggies, fruit, milk. We then have a snack around 3pm so that the children can hold off to eat their supper with the family. Suppers are eaten with their parents and they eat with their parents at this age.

Answer 7

I know how you feel.. I always try to find something new for babe to eat..

breakfast- scrambled eggs,boiled eggs, whole wheat toast,cheerios in milk, oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce,pancakes,,

dinner-grill cheese made with real cheese not slices and "no salt" butter,chicken breast slices(you can buy them prepacked) beans, apples slices,melon slices,fish sticks, chicken nuggets( you can make your own with bread crumbs and an egg and chicken breast pieces and pre make them and freeze them)

supper-same thing as dinner

snacks-all types of fruit, veggies,rice cakes, fish crackers,cheerios,dried fruits, cereal bar(breakfast too)

(mac and cheese is not good for a child-the sodium intake for just 1 serving is crazy)

Hope this helps ♥
