What's in LO's lunchbox (10-14 months)?

Nechie122

So daycare has given us notice -- they're no longer feeding LO purees and she has to transition to table food. That's okay, it's probably time. Except I'm clueless. If you have a LO around 10-14 months, what do you pack for lunch?

Today I sent DD with Cheerios and avocado slices for breakfast and plain macaroni and string cheese for lunch. (I also sent some oatmeal in case that's not enough. And she has Puffs too.)

Luckily our DCP provides food but we do things like PB&J (1 slice of bread cut in half), chicken quesodilla, chicken nuggets, green beans, yogurt, string cheese, mac n cheese, she loves fruit (we get those Dole fruit cups - she loves them) ham or turkey and hard boiled egg...that's all I can think of right now.

Breakfast is Multigrain cereal or oatmeal with a banana.

Lunch is usually veggies (either chunky puree or diced steamed veggies).  I usually put small pasta or quinoa in with the vegetable. He also gets either greek yogurt or cottage cheese with a fruit mixed in.  

If I made something the night before that would be easy for her to feed him, I'll send leftovers such as Shepherd's Pie or Pasta with chicken.

my DCP provides all table food. LO isn't on it yet but here's a sample of their menu. If they wont heat it up for you then i suggest doing finger type foods

Breakfast- alt between yogurt/juice/crackers and cereal/milk 

Lunch- milk/fruit/veggie and main item is mac n cheese, cheese tort chicken patties, meatballs, pizza, turkey hotdog,  fish stick, lasanga, ravioli, chicken nuggets. 

afternoon snack is - juice with crackers, or a bagel, trail mix, frozen pop, cheese n apple slices etc

our school is nut free so they serve soy butter

Our daycare provides meals, but on days that DD2 is home her menu includes things like:

Breakfast - yogurt, cheese, scrambled egg, pancake, blueberries/strawberries, waffle, toast

Lunch -  Mac n cheese, chicken and rice, apple sauce, fruit cup.

Dinner - grilled cheese, mashed potato, stuffing, spaghetti, quesadilla

She will snack on yogurt melts, cherrios, puffs, or plain vanilla cookies during the day.

Breakfast is usually at home and it's usually yogurt, cheerios and banana, a frozen buckwheat wildberry waffle from Nature's Path, or a Vitatop corn muffin and fruit

Lunch--whole wheat pita with hummus, cheese ravioli & sauce, pasta w/veggies, turkey meatballs & sauce, spinach & cheese quesadilla & black beans, half of a sunbutter sandwich,  leftovers from dinner (today he has red curry chicken, green beans & rice)

I always send a veggie side and fruit with lunch.

Snack--daycare feeds this--it's usually crackers and cheese, fruit, nutrigrain bars, etc.
