However, at my play date yesterday, a 10 month old had black beans, cut up cherry tomatoes, cucumber sticks and turkey for lunch. Seemed like a great lunch to me! LO was watching her enviously as I shovelled another spoon of squash purée into her mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-finger-foods-diddo-you-send-to-daycare-for-your-under-1-yo#post-1549689 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 21:07:56 +0000 BeachMama 1549689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD used to eat a lot of black beans, blueberries, and peas.

They all work, too! </p> <p>@Smurfette: I am so glad you mentioned that. Thanks. I know our daycare is peanut free because there is always a reminder in the newsletter, but I guess I will ask tomorrow about the grapes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-finger-foods-diddo-you-send-to-daycare-for-your-under-1-yo#post-1549620 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 20:03:58 +0000 Smurfette 1549620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: check on grapes. I sent them but grapes, even cut up, and raisins aren't allowed for 2 and under. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-finger-foods-diddo-you-send-to-daycare-for-your-under-1-yo#post-1549578 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 19:45:47 +0000 Pepper 1549578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9 months, and he eats blueberries, steamed carrots, green beans, string cheese, bananas, baked chicken, scrambled eggs, mango, cooked apple, avocado, pastina, ravioli... pretty much anything I can cut into bite sized pieces!</p> <p>ETA: I just realized you were looking for things people send to daycare... and while I don't have experience with that, I think a lot of the above foods would work for meals on the go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-finger-foods-diddo-you-send-to-daycare-for-your-under-1-yo#post-1549571 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 19:43:26 +0000 bisous 1549571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALV91711: ah!

Maybe it's the high acidity? I hope your LO feels better soon. If I give her citrus soon, I will be cautious!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-finger-foods-diddo-you-send-to-daycare-for-your-under-1-yo#post-1549562 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 19:38:37 +0000 ALV91711 1549562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: I cut up grapes for tomorrow, it will be his first time havin them. </p> <p>Mrs.Blue just recently did a post with daycare food ideas.

We started feeding them to her yesterday (peeled, slices cut in half) anddd she promptly had diarrhea later in the day and thew up tonight. Gah! So, if she hasn't had citrus yet, I'd recommend it in moderation and keep an eye on her poops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-finger-foods-diddo-you-send-to-daycare-for-your-under-1-yo#post-1549503 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 19:19:15 +0000 bisous 1549503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All good ideas! I am thinking of cutting up string cheese, too. And maybe sending grapes.</p> <p>@ALV91711: French toast is smart! I could definitely send that!</p> <p>@Bookish: Does your LO eat a whole slice of cutie at a time or do you cut each piece in half? S has not had clementines or really any citrus yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-finger-foods-diddo-you-send-to-daycare-for-your-under-1-yo#post-1549184 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 12:58:27 +0000 Bookish 1549184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've started to send: cut up oranges (cuties), lunch meat, cheese, tortillas, whole wheat waffles, leftovers (usually pasta or fish), yogurt melts, eggs, aand that's all I can remember right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-finger-foods-diddo-you-send-to-daycare-for-your-under-1-yo#post-1549153 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 12:26:47 +0000 ALV91711 1549153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sweat potatoes, carrots, corn, peas, hard boiled egg, mango, blueberries, strawberries, chicken nuggets, French toast, KD, leftovers are what I can think of. </p> <p>This is what I send for DS who is 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-finger-foods-diddo-you-send-to-daycare-for-your-under-1-yo#post-1549140 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 12:16:28 +0000 scotchbonnet 1549140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for ideas too.
