Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Need HELP! on-the-go food ideas

We are going to an outdoor Festival tomorrow and will be there pretty much all day. Lunch and dinner for DD will have to be there while in the stroller.

I'm bringing her Oatmeal and some pureed (jarred) veggies, but usually do a finger food to go along with that stuff (like cheese toast or a boiled veggie cut up.)

Any ideas for finger food that I can bring along with me that I can feed her as part of her lunch and/or dinner?  I need something that will keep, as we will be outside all day.

  • Gerber Graduates has jarred diced veggies and fruits that you could take along.
  • Loading the player...
  • Will you have an icepack with you?  If so I'd bring some small cubes of cheese for her or even a string cheese.  Otherwise you could bring crackers, a piece of fruit (maybe a plum you can cut it up and they are soft), some hummus, or you could steam some carrots before you go in the morning and she can eat those cold. 

     PS I see you are in NC which festival are you going to this weekend?  We are hitting up the Shelton Vineyards fall festival tomorrow I think.

  • Do you have a Super Walmart near you?  I found TERRIFIC veggies!  They are in a "fruit cup".  So I can stick one in the diaper bag and then I peal the top, drain the liquid, and give to DD.  They are GREAT!  They also have these things called Gripz that are tiny round cheeze its.  That is more of a snack but she also loves those and not a choking hazard!  The veggies they have are carrots, peas and green beans!   We always have applesauce with us also!

  • I just found some madarin oranges in a cup at Super Target with no added sugar. My DD loves the freakin things.

  • Wow. I'm so bad for this because there are about 436 things I give Joseph that I know most of you don't give your kids. But we are constantly on the go, and Joseph is often eating in his stroller, a cart at a store, car seat, etc.

    He loves cheese. Frozen peas in the same bag could keep it cool until you were ready to feed him and then he could have the veggie and cheese. Cubed meat, breadsticks, berries. But usually, he eats what we eat. So we are going to a fall festival tomorrow, and he will have apples, hot dogs, soft pretzels, and pumpkin donuts, and fresh (but pasteurized) cider.

  • Pasta! DS eats it for breakfast, lunch and dinner... so I never leave home without it these days.
