Uggh - I feel like I'm in a rut. Alex's daycare provides food in the 2 year old class, but not his. So - I pack his lunch/snacks/etc. They also will not microwave food (which I dont blame them -- in case it gets too hot) so I feel stuck on baby food - stage 3, or Gerber grads stuff that doesn't need microwaving.
Snacks I take cheerios, Annie's whole wheat bunnies, fruit, raisins, cheese, etc.
For breakfast he gets his baby yogurt.
Other than that I need inspiration for lunches. Any suggestions?
**edited to add they are a peanut free daycare, so PB&J is out too - not that he eats PB, but just sayin....**
Re: Food for daycare
Our main snack options are: freeze dried fruit, puffs, graham crackers, craisins (not too often b/c they have a lot of sugar), and cheese cubes
For lunch, we usually either do yogurt (Maddie usually eats oatmeal and fruit for breakfast), a sandwich (deli meat and cheese, or cheese and avocado) or shredded chicken/turkey and either a pureed veggie or those Gerber cheese puffs. I don't think any of that stuff would need to be heated up!
GL-We are still doing purees too when I can't think of anything to give her, or when I need to get her some veggies/fruit in a quick and easy way.
He will appreciate you more this way
