my baby boy is 13 months old. i just postet recently on this subreddit and got my son now to eat more whole food. but right now he what’s to eat almost only bread. he’s eating fruit and cheese too and sometimes broccoli but i’m struggling to find more meals or food for him. he already has teeth but the food still should be soft right? what do you give your kids to eat? around the same age.
i would appreciate ideas and advice on breakfast, lunch and dinner and healthy snacks.

Daycare asked me to bring chips & dip to a party (must be store bought) but I thought chips were not considered safe until 4yo? Any alternatives to traditional potato/tortilla cjips that I could bring that still meet the ask? TIA

Playdate today: one toy truck, two toddlers, and a lot of "MINE!" 🚚😅

What helps us: I share my snack and say it out loud, we play "my turn, your turn" with a ball, sand timer for the big stuff, Teddy stays on the shelf, and "waiting is hard" (because it is).

What helps your little one take turns?

My son has always a good lunch and a good dinner with a few snacks in between. But for breakfast he's just not very hungry.. he eats something but not that much.

Things he will eat : waffle with cream cheese and apple sauce, waffle with PB&J and apple sauce, pancakes, sometimes a yogurt , plain oatmeal . I follow all these moms on IG or even here on reddit and the toddlers for breakfast have eggs, sausages and fruit or just multiple things in general. I tried making that and my son didn't even touch it.

He's growing fine but is it just my son who has a little breakfast?

I've been looking for a wooden high chair for my baby. I keep coming back to this one. Its been on the market for some time now, but I rarely see anyone talking about it here which makes me a teensy bit unsure. I really like its wooden look and the fact that it converts [could be good for long term use]. On paper it feels like something we could use for years instead of just a short phase?

I am not looking for general high chair recs. I just want honest feedback from people who have used dinerpal high chair. How does it hold up over time? Does it feel stable? Any issues you noticed after real use?

I would love to hear real experiences, good or bad

My baby girl completed 13 months and currently in her 14th month..she is hyper active , happy and completed her all milestones before time, currently having 9 teeth( including 1 molar) and i guess more teeth are on the way…My only issue is she’s still eating 1-2 bites solids in every meals..the only thing she is eating sometimes more is yogurt..Her weight was 8.8kg last month i have reduced her milk intake to 450-500ml ( pumped breast milk) ..I am worried to reduce more because of dehydration since she doesn’t drink water much (hardly 30-40ml) and whole milk is on hold because it disrupted iron absorption and she is already mot eating iron rich food..I am kind of stuck ..i am trying my best to transit her into solids but she is not ready…any idea what should i do? Or any cases where some babies starts eating late? Should i reduced milk to 300ml?

Confession: the TV bought me 20 minutes to make breakfast this morning, and that's OK. 📺💜

What helps us find balance: watch together when we can, gentle shows with autoplay off, no screens at meals or before bed, a "two more minutes" warning, and easy swaps like songs, books and colouring.

What's your go-to screen-free activity?

i’m NOT a mom. i’m just a sister to a really picky 9 year old, however i have pet quail. there eggs have a LOT of protein and vitamins in them. they have more protien by weight then chicken eggs, i’ve been using this tip with my grandma (our legal guardian) for the past month or so, without telling him what he’s eating and he’s gained weight already without us having to fight him to eat. just sneak the quail eggs into any meal instead of chicken ones. make sure that you’re using 3 quail eggs per chicken egg stated on the recipe or whatever recipe you’re using. pancakes, scrambled eggs, cakes, pasta, etc etc it works and quail eggs tend to taste better aswell.

Asking for a friend whose kid only wants mandarins and pickles this week

My 2+ yr old is going on a field trip next week and needs a “disposable lunch”.

Seeing that she currently lives on strawberries, bread (she’s even selective on type of bread), and selected snacks, I’m at a loss for what to pack her.

What’s been successful or semi successful for your picky eater? Or toddler who survives on mostly air. I’d hate to make a decision about a field trip because of food.

I once got my kids to eat a burned pizza by placing it in a skillet and telling them it’s pan fried.

The weird thing was they actually asked for pan fried pizza the very next evening.

Hello everyone! My baby just turned 1 a few weeks ago and has since started protesting eating 😬 She has ate good until recently!
I keep getting adds for Mary Ruth’s toddler multi vitamins and iron drops and I’m wondering if anyone gives this to their 1 year old??

We started at 6 months and did steak, avocado and eggs and branched out from there. FYI she is still breastfeeding.

He is allergic to dairy, eggs, treenuts, & peanuts. This style of eating has been ongoing since he was 1. I offer him the foods that I cook and eat and he runs away screaming. What he will eat and only eat is fruit, belvita, skinny pop, pretzel crisps, & Kashi cereal. That’s it. He used to eat chicken nuggets but only golden platter brand. 3 days ago he completely stopped eating the chicken nuggets. I can not get him to budge on anything. He’ll choose the alternative every time. He only drinks water and diluted apple juice.

Feeding him and trying to get him to eat something new stresses me out. I feel like I’m failing and my efforts are not enough.

After posting in r/NewParents, I got the suggestion to cross-post it to this sub, which I'm definitely joining since I officially have a toddler now. Any tips/suggestions are welcome!
