She ended up doing fine though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165876 Wed, 23 May 2012 08:14:34 +0000 mrs. wagon 165876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started ordering kids' meals for Wagon Jr. around 13 months. He's always eaten a lot!! These days we order him mac and cheese or a hot dog or cheese pizza. We always offer him some of whatever we're eating, too. He's been starting to eat chicken nuggets too, but sometimes that's a battle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165867 Wed, 23 May 2012 08:09:05 +0000 mamimami 165867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My babe is 17 months and about two months ago we ordered him his first kid's meal. It was great because even though he ate like 1/5 of it, it kept him nice and distracted and we didn't have to keep giving him bites. </p> <p>Usually, we still give him some of ours but it's nice once in awhile. Sometimes I am too greedy with my own food and I don't want to share!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165832 Wed, 23 May 2012 07:10:35 +0000 Rubies 165832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Maybe I should be more adventurous. Gotta live a little, right? :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165828 Wed, 23 May 2012 07:09:03 +0000 Cchoi4 165828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 13.5 months old and I just started ordering something for him...usually it's buttered noodles with fruit or mac and cheese with fruit. He is a good eater but has yet to finish those meals in full so I just take them home and give it to him at the next mealtime. I think I could have held off on doing that so the next time we are out to eat, I'll just order something for myself that he can also eat and we'll do that until he's eating more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165814 Wed, 23 May 2012 06:49:15 +0000 heffalump 165814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: my lo also just has two teeth, I just make sure the pieces are tiny and so far so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165812 Wed, 23 May 2012 06:37:33 +0000 Rubies 165812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: She's eating chunky porridge and she'll eat pieces of steamed fruits and veggies. But she only has two bottom teeth so I'm hesitant to give her anything that requires a lot of chewing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165797 Wed, 23 May 2012 05:19:56 +0000 Andrea 165797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: yeah, and kids can be picky, too, so the more variety the better. plus, the more food the better for us! :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165754 Tue, 22 May 2012 22:28:48 +0000 sulli301 165754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually bring her food because she is still transitioning into "real" food, but I feed her off my plate usually &amp; plan to keep ordering off the regular menu because I don't want her becoming picky &amp; only eating chicken nuggets &amp; mac n cheese! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165708 Tue, 22 May 2012 20:51:58 +0000 chopsuey 165708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually feed her whatever I order. ProbAbly won't order her her own stuff until she's a bit older </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165697 Tue, 22 May 2012 20:31:04 +0000 heffalump 165697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: love that idea. Especially since that way ill get more variety if we order more food ... I can never decide between everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165691 Tue, 22 May 2012 20:10:37 +0000 Andrea 165691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't usually order off the children's menu. It's always the same unhealthy food: french fries, chicken fingers, hot dogs. We order a little extra food and give her some of ours off the regular menu. We started to do that around 1 year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165690 Tue, 22 May 2012 20:07:33 +0000 heffalump 165690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: What does your LO eat now? I always just tear up some of what I'm eating. So much easier than purees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165689 Tue, 22 May 2012 20:03:05 +0000 Rubies 165689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't imagine LO eating real adult food! Time is passing by too quickly~! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-ordering-separate-meals-for-your-lo#post-165667 Tue, 22 May 2012 19:38:10 +0000 heffalump 165667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 10 months and not ready for her own meal from a child's menu, but I have a feeling it'll come sooner than I thought. She eats a lot! </p>
