Does your LO (19mnth+) eat sandwiches?

Trying to think of new lunch ideas for daycare. I do chix nuggets, turkey meatballs, turkey & cheese pinwheels, pasta or mac&cheese, and then she gets pizza on Fridays. I've diced up ham for her or done the pinwheels with ham & cheese. I've tried quesidillas, bagel thins & cream cheese, grilled cheese with no luck...Shes just not that into bread i guess. Wondering if I could attempt a sandwich with those flat breads, or if she would just pull everything apart.

    Nope, he's not into sandwiches.  He still has trouble biting off pieces and doesn't seem to care for them when I cut them up.

    She takes them apart and just eats the middle.

    I haven't tried sandwhiches yet because if I give DS anything whole, he likes to try and shove the whole thing in - not take small bites!  We're working on this, but until he really grasps the concept of "small bites", he's not getting a sandwhich.

    My DS loves his PB & J, grilled cheeses, and turkey sandwiches. I'll cut the sandwich into 4's and he eats it just fine.

    DD eats sandwiches. For some reason, she likes them better if I cut them into "sticks" - 1 inch wide and 3 inches long or so (the width of the bread) - rather than squares or triangles. But, she does eat them, and she likes them.

    DS eats sandwiches cut into 6's with the crusts cut off.  He eats any filling from tuna to banana

    Ben is 15 months and has been eating sandwiches for a while.  He likes sunbutter and jelly, cream cheese, grilled cheese, turkey, etc. 

    Have you tried making wraps and then cutting into pinwheels?  My kids both like those.  Hummus and veggies, cream cheese and broccoli, ham and cheese, etc.

    My 13 month old loves sandwiches. I just cut them up really small. He could eat his weight in grilled cheeses, I swear.
    I'm not crazy, I've just been a very bad mood for the last 40 years!

    DS loves sandwiches and wraps. I just cut the bread into 2 triangles. He's 22 mos, but has been eating them for quite a while.
