Do you give your toddler sandwiches for lunch?

[KatieRabbit]

Just a suggestion- could you give half a sandwich (say cheese or ham or whatever), some salad sticks (cucumber, snow peas, carrot, avocado) and a few cherry tomatoes or shredded lettuce and then a small yohgurt? This way you can give the sandwich plus he gets some more nutrients on the side. Even some fruit pieces to end with or if giving a ham sandwich include a few squares of cheese. You can prepare some salads (washed and trimmed) ahead for a few days and store them in a container of water in the fridge (celery and carrot keep well this way). And dice up the cheese and store it and buy packs of little yoghurts or kilo tubs served into little plastic containers. This way you save on time if that is an issue.

Harrison usually has a sandwich with avocado, chicken, grated cheese and grated carrot (his favourite)... then he has some yogurt (homemade) with pureed fruit.
I have a magic bullet thing so I make up loads of different toppings for Harrison and put them on sandwiches, and he loves them!

Jake has toast for breakfast after his weetbix, plus sandwiches for lunch almost everyday. But he also has fruit for his morn and pm tea and with lunch so I don't feel like he is missing out. Plus we mix it up sometimes with flat bread rolled up with stuff inside... heck on a bad day he has been known to have toast or sandwiches breakfast lunch and dinner lol

One of my DSs loves sandwiches, so most days he has one, but he has to choose between toast for brekkie or sandwich for lunch so he doesn't have too much bread in a day.

Same as in our household...thye only get bread once a day.

With DS I find it very hard to alternate his foods. He is such a fussy eater much to my disgust, and most days (if I let him!) would be happy with vegemite sandwiches all day, or vegemite on rice cakes. Both kids had toast this morning for breakfast so lunch will be what I call a "tasting plate" - usually consists of hard boiled eggs, red capsicum, cheese, ham, mixed beans (the 4 bean mix type), maybe a rice cake. If I am lucky DS will eat the egg, the ham and cheese whereas DD will eat everything and whats left on her brothers plate!

LOL Ang, my DS2 is like your DD. He'll eat all of his, the rest of his brother's, and still be looking for more!
