Each day is different with how much she eats. Some days she will finish her plate or even ask for seconds and other days she will have a mouthful of the same meal and be done. Typical days food would be Small bowl of fruit & scrambled egg on toast Pasta & cheese Curry and rice Snacks during the day - banana, boiled egg, banana muffin, grated cheese, fruit, wafers, crackers, cup of milk (again she doesn’t always eat everything. A lot of the time she’ll have a couple of mouthfuls) X
My lo can be hit & miss with food too. Lately, I have involved her in e.g. making breakfast or assembling a lunchtime sandwich together..... she eats better when she is involved in the process. I've also found praising her helpful too
My son is obsessed with pasta, so anything with pasta I know he will finish. Lasagne, mac and cheese, bolognaise. Does he have a favourite? X
Mine loves porridge, we've had a few days where she's had porridge for breakfast and a supper before bed. She loves omelettes too and helps me make them, I grate a bit of cheese on top and she demolishes them. For dinners she loves rice dishes - curries, risottos etc. I pack them full of veggies and protein, although she is actually a big veggie lover I know I have it easy. She'll definitely eat more dinner if she doesn't snack but her favourite snacks are bananas, spoons of peanut butter, mini cheddars, cheese slices, cucumbers. I mostly decide meals based on her texture preferences, so porridge and risotto type textures I know she'll probably love.
Does he have a favourite?? My son loves pizza, I hide vegetables under his cheese. Or in his mash. Also try get ur plate look similar to ur plate so he doesn’t want urs over his
