Just curious as to what/how much food other kids are eating?
DS is two.. and I think he's not eating enough - but that could be my perception of it - he might be eating the same as others ya know? So I thought - well if I'm thinking that - maybe others are as well.
So thought I could start this thread up to see if he is eating like a normal 2 year old or not
So far today - he has had (and I won't be including milks and stuff - just food)
1/2 an orange
1/2 an apple
1/4 of a pear
1/4 tub of yoghurt
1/2 vegemite sandwich
3/4 malt biscuit
.. just adding..
2 slices of watermelon
2 squares of rockmelon
a mini rice cake thing
hmm.. seems to be a lot of fruit...

Um. Two corn thins, some apple bears, heaps of water, some pieces of ham...that's so far, he's in bed now, at lunch time he was kinda past it, so I decided a nap could take priority over lunch.
A ryebread sandwich, heaps more water, risotto, ice-cream (yes, bad dairy, I forgot, and he ate dinner so well..anyone know about dairy free ice-cream?).

3 weetbix for brekkie
Slice of pineapple, couple of cracker, sultanas and cheese for MT
Pasta for Lunch
Sleeping atm but no doubt when he wakes up i'll get "im hungry mummy". Seriously eats like a horse, but when he was 2 he would have days of no appetite, they'll eat when they are hungry, but of course if your concerned chat to your GP.
1x piece of rasin toast
1x piece of wholemeal toast with vegimite
1x plum
1x fruit stick
1x ktime bar
Havent had lunch but about to go to playgroup and we all take a plate of something savoury so she is bound to eat there.
I find my DD eats none stop all morning then come mid afternoon to dinner and she wont eat a thing. I often worry about her going to bed hungry but she sleeps through so i guess she wakes hungry and thats why she consumes so much all morning.
My DS is at FDC today so I know exactly what he will eat (he always eats it all up).
Breakfast:
two multigrain weetbix with 1/2 a bananna and milk
At FDC:
1 Mango
Handful of grapes
Small tub of yoghurt
Last night's leftovers - a heap of veges with bolognese sauce and cheese on top
Vegemite sandwich
Afternoon tea and dinner:
Because he eats so well during the day at FDC he usually just grazes all evening and eats bits and pieces of what we are eating.
He only has water to drink, no milk, or juice, or anything, just water.
Ummmm not much but she never does she can and will go without food all day when she wants to but I dont push her as I see it as though she will eat when she is hungery as my mother has always told me there isnt a chile in this world who will starve themselves they eat when they are ready and not one can make them do anything about it....
Kai has had
* two weetbix
* banana cake ( about 1 piece )
* 1/2 a jam sandwich
* 1 icypole
I am not really expecting her to eat much else today from what you have writen sounds like he is getting plenty of food I wouldnt worry about it too much ( I know easier said than done )
2 Spoonfuls porrige
2 pieces of pasta
2 drinks watered down apple juice
some bikkies and cheese
1 mini icypole
then daddy came home and she pilfered and entire can of lemonade from his lunchbox..ggrrr
so the sugar in that should keep her going until pete knows when, I hope I can jam some sort of food in her for dinner.
She usually eats all day, lots of fruit and sandies etc.
Mel this is my nightmare at the moment. Since Jake has come home from hospital I am constantly stressing he isn't eating enough and his body will flick back into starvation mode, now he's sick again and the whole ride will start again.
NORMAL healthy toddlers will eat when they are hungry so rest assured you seem to be doing a great job! Your wee man is eating heaps! When we are well Jake will usually eat:
2-3 weetbix
1-2 peices of wmelon, some grapes and rice crackers for morn tea
vegemite or pnut paste sandwich lunch w fruit or yoghurt
fruit - apple / w melon grapes - for anoon tea with some crackers
usually a pice of toast at about 4pm
dinner is whatever we have, and he has yoghurt after
drinks water all day and has a diluted apple juice at lunch
today:
1 piece of toast
small cup of apple pear puree
1/2 pnut paste sandwich
a few rice crackers
I know Zander is almost four, so a bit older, but today he has eaten:
* 1/2 a nutella & sprinkle sandwich
* Apple
* 1/2 a cheese & sauce roll
* Cheesymite stick (you know those 1-3 breadstick things)
* 1/2 a dozen strawberries
Tonight I'm hoping he will eat some past with peas, corn & cheese.
Not a lot considering he runs around like a mad thing all day with loads of energy. I have no idea where he gets it from.
today for breakie he had 1 weetbix with tiny bit milk
Lunch he ate a handful of oven cooked chips and 2 nuggets
that is it so far he did have a small bottle when he woke, and has just woken from nap and asked for milk we are talkign 120ml max bottles ...
I am guessing he might have a bit more at tea time but who know with this boy, I have no idea how he can be 15kg when he lives on air and water oh yeah today he has had about 1 ltr of water
Arimeh, how do you get him to eat all that fruit? My DS will only have some apple verrrry occasionally and some tinned pineapple even less than that...maybe a grape or two once a week!
Today he has had:
3 small cups of milk
3 tubs of yoghurt
half a small tin of salt reduced baked beans
1 and 1/2 pieces of multigrain toast with butter
half a cup of orange juice
a few sips of fizzy mineral water
a sip of Daddy's Sprite
half of his homemade macaroni and cheese with spinach
Not a very good day. We are rejecting meat, fruit and veg at the moment.
Oskar has had part of a weetbix - half on the floor...lol
Ummm about half a sandwich, some biscuits and he'll have dinner. I think it's just the hot weather that he's really not eating that much until dinner and he has a pretty good pigout then.
They say kiddies won't starve themselves so don't stress
