I'm having a hard time figuring out what to pack my son for daycare. For the past few months he's been eating:
Fruit jar & oatmeal followed by bottle for breakfast
Veggie Jar followed by bottle for lunch
Puffs or yogurt followed by bottle for afternoon snack (he usually doesn't take much of this bottle)
For dinner (at home) he sometimes eats a jarred meal, but lately I've been trying to give him small pieces of what I'm cooking for us if possible (pasta, meat, veggies etc) but he still prefers the purees (fruits & veggies)
This week, I packed small bits of fruit (strawberries b/c that's what we had) for his snack @ daycare. I guess I'm not sure how to transition away from the purees while he's at daycare. Any advice is appreciated!
What should I be sending in for breakfast and lunch?
Re: What's your 10 month old eating?
His favorites:
Breakfast - waffle or pancake w/ baby fruit puree, yogurt, oatmeal, cheerios, scrambled egg, Nutrigrain bar
Lunch - string cheese, low sodium deli turkey or ham, fruit cup packed in juice (look out for added sugar or sweetener), grilled cheese sandwich
Dinner - pasta, meatballs, veggie/cheese/chicken quesadilla, sweet potato fries, almost any steamed veggie
Bar tab = $156,000, Bus to Foxwoods = $0, Puking in the Stanley Cup = Priceless
Breakfast: scrambled eggs, pancake topped with apple sauce, toast spread with prunes or cream cheese, oatmeal, cheerios & berries.
Lunch/dinner: grilled cheese & veggie, pasta & veggie, leftover dinner, sometimes a scrambled egg (if she didn't have one for breakfast), veggies & shredded cheese, yogurt, pieces of chicken or ground turkey, sweet potato or white potato pieces, small pieces of fruit, hummas, etc.
She is over purees. She started refusing them around 7 months.
I feel like I am in a rut though. I'd like to make some pasta sauce with lots of veggies pureed into it and freeze it into small portions for those days that I need to go to the grocery store or am not feeling like cooking. i'm looking for more ideas too
