Do your kids eat lunchmeat? I have it in my head that our two year old shouldn't have it and I'm not sure why.
-
Very occasionally if I'm in a pinch. It has a lot of sodium and preservatives
-
I give LO low sodium turkey breast occasionally if I'm eating it for lunch too.
-
Yeah all the time (a few times a week probably!). I buy the all natural kinds or boars head.
-
My older one does. I pack her a sandwich for lunch maybe once a week. I buy the all natural kind, if that helps.
-
If you get the nitrate free brands it should be fine.
-
I get the nitrate free kind.
-
We very rarely eat lunch meat so she doesn't either. She's had it a few times and mainly over at the ILs.
-
Yes! I just get nitrate free/low sodium
-
they didn't get into it until pretty recently. charlie likes ham and pepperoni. i buy the applegate brand.
-
@winniebee: same - my LO gets it regularly - like at least once a week and sometimes more. Before I got pregnant she would regularly steal bites from my sandwiches. She loves Boars Head ham. She also loves salami and prosciutto
-
Yes! My LO loves ham and enjoys ham melts with tortillas.
-
Occasionally. She doesn't like sandwiches that much so only a few times a month.
-
A couple times a week, usually ham or turkey
-
Yep
-
I buy the no nitrate kind from trader joes but lo wont eat it. Im sure its fine. He just has pbj when we have turkey sandwiches for now.
-
Yes. Sometimes she will actually eat it when I give it to her
Usually, I roll up some turkey and she will half eat and half play with it.
-
She eats some Boar's Head turkey with cheese if i have it on hand. She also likes hot ham sandwiches
-
Several times a week- turkey is a staple for him. Usually we go with Applegate Farms brand.
He's not a big sandwich guy either, so usually I'll throw a few slices down. Sometimes I can roll it in a tortilla with cheese or cream cheese. It's such am easy protein source!
-
Liam really likes turkey lunch meat. I just packed it in his lunch for the first time yesterday and he gobbled it up!
-
So, consensus seems to be that lunchmeat is okay. M doesn't really like it but they serve it at daycare so I was curious if we should just ask them to offer her a cheese sandwich on Fridays (lunchmeat days). Guess we'll go with it's okay!
-
It's hard for us to get Liam to eat protein, so that's why I overlook the sodium and preservatives. I buy it at trader joe's, so I know it isn't too bad.
