Altho that will will be a pain because right now she eats leftovers for lunch mainly like we do. Plus a fruit.</p> <p>But that's definitely a better option than letting her eat their food. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asking-for-daycare-lunch#post-1406411 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:31:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1406411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here is another thought, is there at least part of the lunches that isn't so bad that she could have? Certainly they are serving something healthy in there. Even if its veggies from a can, maybe that is the compromise to let her have those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asking-for-daycare-lunch#post-1406403 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:27:34 +0000 MsLipGloss 1406403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I'm right there with you . . . I am so glad that LO's diet is so varied at school! She gets good options at home, but not the variety that she gets at school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asking-for-daycare-lunch#post-1406377 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:19:25 +0000 littlek 1406377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Same at B's school. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asking-for-daycare-lunch#post-1406376 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:19:21 +0000 looch 1406376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you think she'd even eat it? Sometimes my son asks for what the other kids are eating, but then he never actually wants it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asking-for-daycare-lunch#post-1406374 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:18:56 +0000 littlek 1406374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare has a full kitchen and chef and the food schedule is put together by a nutritionist. He eats better at school than at home. **hangs head in shame </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asking-for-daycare-lunch#post-1406327 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:02:50 +0000 Smurfette 1406327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: That sucks!! Could you do a couple times a week? Find the less of the evils? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asking-for-daycare-lunch#post-1406314 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 07:58:26 +0000 regberadaisy 1406314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: they are definitely not made on site. They don't have a kitchen of any kind. They post a monthly menu and we're not happy with the offerings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asking-for-daycare-lunch#post-1406313 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 07:58:10 +0000 brownie 1406313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a ready excuse "no baby it will hurt your tummy" and then he doesn't get it. Most of the time it likely has soy so we aren't lying. But we didn't give in and he gets our food only and probably will as long as he is still reactive to soy (so far he is).</p> <p>But maybe you could find a least offensive day and make it a treat once a month or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asking-for-daycare-lunch#post-1406312 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 07:57:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1406312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds about the right age. My daughter got in the habit of eating a muffin for breakfast.... ugh! At least our daycare makes them from scratch (well probably a mix) each morning. </p> <p>I'm sorry you are going through this. Is there a way you could let her pick more things for the lunch box or follow the daycare menu but make the same types of things at home (for example, if they are eating a lunchable then you could pack your own crackers, cheese, and meet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asking-for-daycare-lunch#post-1406311 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 07:57:09 +0000 Smurfette 1406311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Boxed meals? I was just asking about ours this morning, it is made fresh every morning and brought in. Protein/Carb, fruit and veggie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asking-for-daycare-lunch#post-1406296 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 07:51:47 +0000 regberadaisy 1406296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's beginning. My 21m toddler is asking for daycare 's lunch. :(</p> <p>We are NOT happy with daycare meals. They serve pre packaged, pre made, boxed food. This is not how we eat at all. Our boxed food is pasta and rice pilaf and that's pretty much it. </p> <p>If you packed your lo' s food when did you give in and let them eat daycare food? What kind of food does daycare serve? </p> <p>We already let her eat snacks at daycare and I'm not happy about that. They serve puffy cheetos , often, for God's sake! </p>
