I'm the cook in the house most days so I usually get things ready. Even when I left for a mom's weekend away, I made sure DH was stocked with cooked food for DS. While he generally knows what DS meals are like, he definitely looks to my lead on this one.
We usually tag team feeding if we're eating out, but more than less likely I can't enjoy my food until DS is set up with his plate (whether his own, or food from our meals).
Do you cook your LO's meals? Your SO? How about when you eat out?

Even though DH can cook, i do almost all the cooking. I also prepare DD's plate, whether we be at home or at a restaurant. If DH takes her out or cooks for her, he'll ask me for suggestions.

We both do actually. I do more of the cooking now because I'm home. DH usually packs her lunch now because DD 2 is up and he dies clean up. If we eat out now he takes care of her bc I have DD 2.

I do it all. I will usually cook something or tell DH something he can serve LO if I'm out during a meal time. He handles snacks just fine & I'm certain he can handle meals but it's just easier to tell him what to give her because I know he would pro end up asking me anyway because he prefers to use my brain instead of his 
I'm usually in charge while we eat out too, unless LO is super rowdy, then we will tag team so one can eat while the other tends to her.

I do most of the cooking and I prepare all LO's meals or leave something for DH to serve her if I am out.

I usually cook most nights. He does the grilling. When I left for my weekend away or will be gone for the night, I always make sure there is something for him to just heat up.

We both do...just depends on the day! DH usually does breakfast and I usually do dinner. On the weekends we take turns with lunch.

I do a vast majority of the cooking but DH does all the cleaning up after us! But if i'm not home, he can feed E no problem. It's just something that I do most of the time. And i try to stock the fridge before I travel or leave for a weekend, simply as a nice consideration. He's always very appreciative and I know it makes solo parenting much easier

DH makes breakfast and I do dinners. We can both alternate though if necessary.

I do all the cooking/food prep at home. At restaurants, it's 50/50 as to who's on LO duty.

At home we take turns but lately I have been prepping and DH has been cooking. Then I'll do cleanup. We all eat together and both help the kids with their plates/food.
For making baby food (steaming, pureeing, etc), it's all me. I don't mind.
When we eat out, we each handle a kid. Usually I tend to DS more since he is extra attached to me right now and DD doesn't have a preference.
