I know most of us struggle with the daily (3-6 times a day) battle of getting our little ones to eat and to eat mostly healthy options! My 20 month old LOVES to eat. If she isn't eating she is asking to eat! So I have had to find and come up with tons of different snack and meal ideas to satisfy her needs! :) She will let me know when she does not agree with something given. But I have to say if I keep giving it to her she will usually warm up to it! She has recently decided to actually try a few new things! And we all know, NOTHING makes us happier than when our child tries a new food.... and likes it! :) This will be a continuing blog, I will be adding pictures as the days go by! I will start with her meals from just the last few days! If you have any questions about any of the meals or what brand or how it is prepared please do not hesitate to ask! :) I do not always buy organic or 100% real food, but I do TRY MY BEST and that is all we can do! :)

hi lana, i love your blog(s)! i'm an old-ster and my kids are grown in their mid/late 20s now. here comes the old-ster part... back in my day we were told to cut our 'dogs' in half length wise and then chop them up for toddlers because pediatricians were seeing a fair number of choking cases when the 'dog's were chopped into the round disc form. this was meant to be FYI only and in no way intended as a criticism. you are doing beautifully with your family. all the best! kym still
ReplyDeleteHie Lana am learning a lot from your blog. Am preg and this has made it soo easy for me to plan for my baby food. Thanks a lot and God bless
