What does your 1 year old eat on a daily basis?

Just wondering what other 1 year olds eat on a daily basis, as i want to know wether my child's diet is ok.


She currently eats the following:





Milk on waking


Breakfast - either ready brek, mashed banana or 1 weetabix.


Lunch - usually mash with beans, spagetti loops or raveoli and small yoghurt for pudding.


Dinner - This varies depending on what im cooking but on the lines of pasta %26amp; sauce, mash %26amp; veg %26amp; meat, spagetti bolognaise, etc and either fruit or fruit %26amp; youghurt for pudding (fruits such as pureed peaches, banana, strawberries, etc).


Snacks - She has 1 or 2 additional snacks a day which vary from a few cheesy puffs, toast, or fruit.


Drinks - She drinks mainly water and a little milk during the day.





Is this diet ok? if not how can i improve it? thanks!

My son only ate vegemite sandwiches and would only drink milk...you have a winner!
Reply:Sounds OK-does she have any veg though, apart from potato? My little ones used to love sweet potato, butternut squash, carrot, swede,cabbage,the list was endless,and adds an extra portion of f%26amp;v to the day. Its good that you dont give her juice and pop,water is always best. The breakfast she has is ideal,i great way to start the day, my kids cant survive without at least one weetabix for breakfast or supper!
Reply:Your one year old has near enough the same as my one year old daughter :





Breakfasts - 1 weetabix or cheerios or shreddies





usually followed by mid morn toast, crumpet or fruit





main mealsr - beans on toast, cheese sandwich, meatballs with potatoe and veg, cottage pie and veg, maccaroni cheese, cheese on toast, sausage and micro chips, fish fingers and garden peas and chips





snacks of fruit, raisins, sugar free jelly, yoghurts and sugar free fruit squash throughout the day with milk for breakfast and bedtime





I try to give her a lighter ,lunch then main meal at dinner is usually a meat and veg type dinner so i get my veg in there





sounds to me like your plan is fine its hard to balance everything out when i give something not so healthy for lunch i make up for it a dinner time with plenty veg





hope this helps
Reply:that sound fine,mine eats what ever we eat just chopped up,but we dont eat such as ready meals etc,i cook for example fish pie with sweet potato mash, shepherds pie,even a mild curry!.he eats fish fingers and (good) chicken nuggets,sunday lunch..gosh i cant think! lol.but he might have some crisps or jaffa cakes as snacks and eats fruit like its going out of fashion!.to drink he has high juice and milk.
Reply:well the only recommendation I can give you is give her/him a little more milk its really good for growing kids and also you probably don't need everything pureed at this age. you should be introducing new textures stuff that he/she can pick up with his/her hands. Have a good day!
Reply:excellent diet lol
Reply:ITS OK BUT YOU SHOULD BE GIVING YOUR CHILD MORE SOLID MEALS LIKE FRESH MEAT AND VEG CHOPPED UP NOT MASHED!!
