mommas of 1yr olds
Sam moved up in daycare and she's in a room with an actual schedule - which means i need one extra snack than i was sending before (she used to get a late breakfast, late lunch and a 4:30 snack before pickup).
now, i send yogurt for breakfast, before 9am.
lunch around 11:30 is usually meatball or chicken with a pile of canned peas and carrots, grilled cheese sandwich with fruit puree, might start chicken nuggets and smile fries and a veggie soon too.
2:30 snack: mozzarella cheese stick or banana
5pm dinner/snack: mozzarella cheese stick or banana - whatever she didn't have before
we eat dinner as a family around 6:45/7pm.
these two afternoon snacks are going to get boring! lol! i'm thinking cereal bars, goldfish crackers, and fresh fruit or pouches of fruit would be good.
any other great ideas? preferable finger foods and healthy choices.
she didn't like broccoli cheese nuggets i got her. i don't want it to be all cracker related either. i cannot remember what i used to send for Ava!
Re: mommas of 1yr olds
J is in love with cereal bars. I started with Earth's Best but moved to Nutragrain, currently he is in the 12 step program/detox because they were all he would eat. I bought ones from Walmart and he threw them on the floor, every time. So not only is he an addict he has standards LOL.
Fruit squeezes, raisins, pretzels, goldfish are other snack. I love everything Gerber makes also and usually have something in my diaperbag and in car by them.
You could send the Dr Praegers veggie nuggets. A loves the spinach ones.
Ditto on the fruit pouches.
Melis-n-mike got us hooked on Grammy Sammies from BRU. Basically a pb&j but with diff flavors. Graham crackers with vanilla yogurt and strawberry/blueberry jam in the middle.
Apple sauce
Animal crackers
I know you want to offer her variety but she's 1 and wont know the difference! GL
gonna look into those cereals next time i'm at the store. i saw on their website that they have a fruit orchard snack thingy- probably gummy. i'll check that out too but for Ava
i gave her a trader joes cereal bar - half of it - and she gobbled it up yesterday. i could probably send in a full one next time.
she takes some fruit squeezes, but she gets super excited and spritzes it up into the air sometimes. it's messy!
animal crackers! forgot about those! will try grammy sammies too
i had no clue they made that - will look for them - thanks!
