Toddler Meal Ideas

What is the name of the website that is along the lines of wholesomebabyfood.com, but for toddlers?

I need to get (structured) ideas on what/how much/when to feed my 1 y/o. And right now I am too sleep deprived to come up with ideas on my own.

I know ideally I should feed him whatever I eat, but I am not eating well/often right now (working on that)

 

Thanks in advance

    Not sure if that's what you're meaning, but I found a lot of good stuff there.

  • Are you having meals with your child? Your comment that you're not eating often concerns me, both because you need to take care of yourself, but also because a lot of a child's relationship with food is learned from their parents. I know it's not realistic to feed your child what you're having all the time and that you might not even be hungry for a big meal at the same times your child wants to have one, but I always try to sit down at the table with DD with at least something in front of me, so that we're sharing the experience.

    I also find that DD usually eats better when we are eating with her - she is not the focus of the activity, and tends to concentrate on eating, rather than playing.

    I know she doesn't eat as well when she stays with MIL, and I think this is the main reason - MIL doesn't eat when DD eats, so it's like DD is the show, make sense?

  • I just wanted to give you a suggestion that really helps us when we are busy and that DD loved at that age. Roasts, in the crockpot. I know you don't have much time but a piece of meat/pork/chicken, some pre-washed baby carrots. pre-washed and cut celery, a few baby potatos, and some seasoning or broth go a long way in our house. DD always did really well with the soft meat and veggies at that age. If you have a Trader Joes near you they sell frozen microwave brown rice. I like that with little effort and little mess you can provide a protein, veggies, and a whole grain.
