Food at Daycare

in November 2011 Moms
LO is in daycare from 7:30am to 5:15pm. We send 4 bottles of BM along with oatmeal and fruit. This morning the teacher asked if we had thought about sending along a lunch as well. She said that he seems to have a good appetite and she'd like to combine the cereal with the fruit in the morning. I don't have a problem with this, but my question is, what the heck shoud I send in? He's just now starting on soft table foods (including meat and cheese).

    Could you just send a veggie puree for the lunch?

    I know you said he is just now starting soft table food, but some of these recipes might be appealing to you here on wholesomebabyfood.com including grilled cheese, make your own meatballs and chicken nuggets.

    I guess I could to that and then just stick with the finger/table foods at dinner. But if I send the finger foods at daycare then they can clean up the mess Wink

    thanks for the link. I'm going to try some of these recipes this weekend.

    -chicken strips and steamed veggies

    -rice and beans

    -pasta with sauce

    You can find tons of ideas here:

    If your daycare will cut fruit/veggies, you could send something like a whole avocado

    Pita bread and hummus is another idea

    Oh, and if your daycare has a cafeteria, I wouldn't even send food.  I'd ask for a daycare menu, circle all the things you're ok with LO having and then let the teacher feed her something from the cafeteria for lunch

     They don't start providing food until he moves to the next class (14 months). Thanks for the website rec, I will check it out.

    Just wanted to post another recipe site for food to prepare for LO.  I'm always on the look out for new recipes for us, and some travel-friendly foods.  Enjoy!
