A typical day of food looks like this:</p> <p>Breakfast: egg, rice, yogurt packet, bacon, vienna sausage, grapes, strawberries</p> <p>Lunch: chicken, rice, beans, cheese, grapes, strawberries, plums, apples</p> <p>Dinner: Hawaiian bread, rice, chicken with spinach, pork with eggplant and okra, pretty much whatever dish we eat</p> <p>Snacks: cheese, applesauce packet, cheerios, freeze dried strawberries or yogurt melts</p> <p>Mind you he doesn't eat all of the food all of the time, but he does get a lot of variety with each meal. So he can pick and choose what he wants to eat. He loves his fruit the most though. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1663494 Wed, 28 May 2014 16:52:33 +0000 QBbride 1663494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 11.5m and he eats pretty much whatever we eat.</p> <p>For example:<br /> Breakfast - piece of toast with hummus (fave!) or PB; oatmeal fingers; dry Cheerios; cut up fruit; yoghurt</p> <p>Lunch - cottage cheese and fruit; scrambled eggs with veggies; cut up leftover meat (chicken/pork); grated cheese</p> <p>Dinner - whatever we're having, usually meat with steamed veggies (zucchini is his fave) and a side of rice; fruit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1663134 Wed, 28 May 2014 14:34:39 +0000 Bookish 1663134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Hah, well, like @Mrs. Lion: we eat pretty much the same rotation of foods every week... so although she will eat anything we do, she hasn't tried a whole heck of a lot.... I need to work on that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1663117 Wed, 28 May 2014 14:30:28 +0000 Smurfette 1663117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: Yeah R has been eating more carbs lately but it is the only thing she will eat sometimes. I can give her meat and veggies and she will sit there and not eat. Lately all she wants is milk. Drinks so much she won't eat, so are having to not give her any till she eats.<br /> She has been teething since last Aug straight.....it sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1663116 Wed, 28 May 2014 14:30:19 +0000 Bookish 1663116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetpea612: We just get the store brand! HEB, if you have one of those. They are pretty tasty, I've started taking them to work with me for breakfast too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1663101 Wed, 28 May 2014 14:24:08 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1663101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: It probably helps that WE eat a lot of the same things over and over again haha :) And sometimes he doesn't...He is only 14 months and has been teething for...oh....4 months? So if he refuses something I just make him a PBJ... It happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1663087 Wed, 28 May 2014 14:21:10 +0000 Smurfette 1663087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so jealous of everyone's LO's that eats what they eat. R is so picky. There are 4 meats she will eat (will eat more at day care) but at home that is it. She eats the same things over and over again. So frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1663054 Wed, 28 May 2014 14:11:14 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1663054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did BLW, so what LO eat's isn't much different from before 12 months...he just eats a lot more now. This has pretty much been our plan since about 9 months when he figured out how to eat and actually swallow (minus the peanut butter...we waited until 12 months for that and honey). I offer a cup of milk with every meal, but he rarely finishes one. He only drinks maybe 10-12 ounces throughout the day, but he eats a lot of fruit and appears to be getting plenty of fluid based on his diapers. </p> <p>Breakfast - plain oatmeal with about a teaspoon of peanut butter and a teaspoon of fruit preserves for flavor and half of a banana. Sometimes he has scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese, but eggs aren't his favorite. </p> <p>Snack - Fruit and cheerios, or if we are on the run I will give him a reusable pouch filled with half plain greek yogurt and half unsweetened applesauce. </p> <p>Lunch - Leftovers from the night before (whatever I am eating) or if I am having a salad I will make him a PBJ sandwich and some frozen vegetables (I buy the corn/carrots/peas mix) or black olives. </p> <p>Snack - Fruit, yogurt/applesauce (if he didn't have that earlier), maybe some more cheerios or cracker sandwiches from trader joes (they are like the ritz kind). </p> <p>Dinner - Whatever we are having. He loves spicy stuff, noodles, black bean burgers, regular beef burgers, shredded chicken (or just cut up grilled chicken) whatever vegetables we are eating (except salad...if we have salad I give him mixed vegetables instead). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1662968 Wed, 28 May 2014 13:58:14 +0000 sweetpea612 1662968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bookish @blackbird @coopsmama - I never thought about whole wheat waffles. What an easy thing to incorporate! Are there any store bought brands you'd recommend? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1662924 Wed, 28 May 2014 13:44:34 +0000 heartonastring 1662924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is 13 months and she just eats what we eat for the most part.</p> <p>Sample day:</p> <p>Breakfast: Fried egg, avocado, blueberries<br /> Snack: Banana with peanut butter, milk<br /> Lunch: Chicken, broccoli, strawberries, milk<br /> Snack2: Cheddar cheese, a fruit pouch<br /> Dinner: Turkey burger (no bun), grilled asparagus, sweet potato oven fries, milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1662916 Wed, 28 May 2014 13:42:33 +0000 Crisark 1662916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She eats what we eat at all meals.<br /> She has yogurts/puffs/purees and things like that for snacks as needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1662907 Wed, 28 May 2014 13:39:44 +0000 Trailmix 1662907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breakfast: Fresh fruit (usually two out of the following: blueberries, strawberries, bananas, oranges, pear, apple, mango), cheddar cheese slices, pancake and/or scrambled egg with cheese, yogurt<br /> Snack: String cheese, cheerios, fruit, milk<br /> Lunch and Dinner: One fruit and one veggie (steamed carrot, peas, corn, sweet potato, broccoli), cheese, pasta (mac and cheese, pumpkin tortolini, cheese ravioli), potato pancake or sweet potato fries (baked), applesauce or yogurt.</p> <p>DD will eat slices of deli turkey or chicken salad for lunch/dinner as well, DS will not :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1662600 Wed, 28 May 2014 12:12:37 +0000 coopsmama 1662600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breakfast: fruit and eggs, sometimes (soaked) baked oatmeal or whole wheat waffles<br /> Lunch: yogurt, cheese, a fruit/veggie pouch, applesauce, leftovers from the night before, banana, blueberries, peach, sweet potato fries, avocado, etc.<br /> Dinner: he usually chows down on what we eat -- last night was homemade chicken pot pie and he inhaled it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1662429 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:18:04 +0000 Boheme 1662429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a typical day for us -<br /> Breakfast: fruit and string cheese, or fruit and scrambled eggs<br /> Lunch: turkey/hummus roll ups on a wheat tortilla, blueberries or another small fruit, peas, bell pepper strips or similar veggie, boiled egg slices, a square of colby jack cheese, whole wheat pasta. Not all of the above, just a mix of these types of things.<br /> Dinner: whatever we eat, regardless of spices. I just don't make anything super spicy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1662412 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:14:10 +0000 blackbird 1662412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been giving her bits of our dinner for a long time! Chunks of chicken or fish or beef or pork, shredded cheese, mac and cheese (Annie's or TJ"s), rice, veggies (cooked very very soft for her), hunks of bread and butter (omg she loves butter). I don't make her a special meal, i just sort of partition out some of ours for her. She also LOVES hard boiled eggs and yogurt, so she gets some of that. And hummus. Girlfriend loves hummus and has just learned to "dip" veggie sticks in it, so she practices with that. She also likes sweet potatoes. Sometimes I heat her up a leftover waffle or pancake from breakfast (i make them in batches), plus fruit. I've started ending her dinner with a few strawberries or half a banana.</p> <p>adding a 'menu':<br /> Breakfast - whole wheat waffles/pancakes, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cheesy eggs<br /> Lunch - whatever's at daycare<br /> Snack - puffs (less lately than I used to rely on), applesauce pouches, cheese sticks, hard boiled eggs, banana bread if i have some, a banana with almond butter, strawberries with yogurt dip<br /> Dinner - see above </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1662397 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:11:49 +0000 Bookish 1662397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 11 months, and this is a typical day of meals for her:</p> <p>Breakfast - half a wheat waffle &amp; yogurt<br /> Lunch - fruit cup, shredded fish, cut up veggies or veggie puree<br /> Snack - puffs or cheerios<br /> Dinner - Protein puree or leftovers, depending on what we are having, cheerios, yogurt melts, and either fruit or veggie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-feed-your-12mo#post-1662387 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:09:15 +0000 sweetpea612 1662387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is almost 12 mo and I'm currently feeding her the following. Looking for inspiration/ideas for some variety from others!</p> <p>Breakfast: fruit puree w/ yogurt and oatmeal cereal + cheerios<br /> Lunch: lentils &amp; veggie puree (generally sweet potatoes)<br /> Occassional snack: puffs or baby mum mums<br /> Dinner: shredded cheese, veggies (generally peas), sometimes protein (chicken or turkey), fruit</p> <p>She's with the nanny during the day, but for dinner I'll generally try to give her some of what I'm eating as well. It's hard to have dinner ready that early, though, and I worry that my food may be too salty/spicy! </p>
