I tore off bite-size pieces by hand. I did pb&j sandwiches earlier than that, but substituted organic applesauce instead of jelly. purplelilac on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700321 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 20:18:49 +0000 purplelilac 2700321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Kid 1 first had sandwiches around 18 months. Kid 2 starting eating pb&j (cut in quarters) at 8 Months. Whoops. In retrospect it may have been a bit early but it was so nice to be able to make Them the same food for lunch :) SweetiePie on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700280 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 18:19:18 +0000 SweetiePie 2700280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @travellingbee: it's funny because I don't eat sandwiches either so maybe it's genetic :silly: He eats plenty of things he doesn't see me eat so I don't think it's learned. travellingbee on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700270 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 17:56:13 +0000 travellingbee 2700270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @SweetiePie: My four-year-old is the same way Mrs. Microscope on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700254 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 17:07:33 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2700254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My 18 month old eats bites from a sandwich just fine, so long as I am the one to hold it. If I give her the sandwich she just disassembles it, and won't really eat it.

And she eats tacos- I spread a little Greek yogurt or sour cream on the tortilla first to help things stick, then ground meat, diced tomatoes, cheese... she's not really a fan of lunch meat.

But he still won't really have any sandwich besides PB. I've tried turkey and salami and things like that and he just isn't interested.

I trust her more with taking bites then I do with little pieces. She will take a handful of little bites and shove them in her mouth, or keep adding more before swallowing.

My bigger LO likes to dip them in salsa. We also do pb&j, tuna salad and shredded carrots, and scrambled eggs and cheese as roll ups. travellingbee on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700169 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 14:18:34 +0000 travellingbee 2700169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Foodnerd81: what do you put in the roll ups? 2littlepumpkins on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700167 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 14:16:01 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2700167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MrsSRS: Aaah I totally forgot about the strips. Those worked well when dd was about two-ish! Second that recommendation. :) oliviaoblivia on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700161 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 14:12:09 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2700161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A is 13 months and she's been fine with them for a while.

Like maybe 5 or 6 strips per sandwich. 2littlepumpkins on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700158 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 14:10:34 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2700158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would give my 16 month old a sandwich but I know there would be a mess. On the other hand we waited so long with my 4 year old she never did like lunch meat type sandwiches, only PB&J.

She probably could have much sooner I just never really thought about it until we packed lunch for a picnic.

For bread sandwiches she just won't really eat them unless they are in squares but I would trust her if she would. My older daughter wouldn't eat sandwiches at all until like 2.5. snowjewelz on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700123 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 13:02:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2700123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DD had PB or PB/J, or just cheese either cut into bite size or strips. At 2 she still likes them in strips but we can add meat too MrsADS on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700081 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 11:57:24 +0000 MrsADS 2700081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I wouldn't give a sandwich to my 18 month old, I still cut everything into small bites (and will for a while). He tends to stuff several bites at once in his mouth!

I just smash them down not sure about meat and cheese tho because of the volume. littlebug on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700034 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 10:40:55 +0000 littlebug 2700034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just this weekend I gave A (12.5mo) a grilled cheese sandwich just cut into triangles. She's been having PB&J like that for a couple of weeks. I wouldn't do like a turkey and cheese like that yet, though.

My 16 month old still takes too big of bites for me to feel comfortable giving her a sandwich. travellingbee on "When do toddlers start eating sandwiches?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-toddlers-start-eating-sandwiches#post-2700017 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 09:54:20 +0000 travellingbee 2700017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have still been cutting my 13 months food up into small bites or french fry sized strips. I can't remember when it's OK to start giving them something like a sandwich that they take bites off of rather than precut. Anyone have any idea?
