Eating schedules and habits once again..1 year old and over..

Can you share what your 14 month olds (or around that age) eating schedule and/or habits are like.

In the morning, do you still give them a cup of milk first?

I am having a hard time transitioning Megan to a cup..she still doesnt want it. So she gets her bottle of milk first.

Then she eats either a pancake, waffle, cereal with some fruit.

Juice midday.

Lunch either turkey, cheese, macaroni, cream cheese sandwich..with a veggie.

Milk bottle again.

Some sort of snack. Puffs, crackers, teething biscuit, bread.

Dinner..meat, veggie and fruit.

A small bottle before bed.

How does your day go?

DD is 16 mths and we have yet to get rid of the bottle. She just refuses to drink her milk from the straw cup (but will drink water or juice in there just fine! ) She isnt the bets eater right now so I am not pushing the cup because I feel that she needs that milk.



wake up: 8oz bottle of milk

Breakfast: blueberry waffle, pancake, oatmeal with applesauce mixed in (she loves this!), cherrios, whole wheat toast with jelly (she refuses to eat any type of eggs unfortunately)

Late AM snack: puffs, wheat thins, cheerios, dried fruit

Lunch: straw cup w. water and - - yogurt, string cheese w/ crackers, grilled cheese, cut up fruit

sometimes I will give her a few oz of v8 (low sodium one)in her cup since she doesnt eat many veggies

Dinner: her favorite is chicken nuggets but sometimes she will eat a small amount of other meat that we have with dinner, a veggie, some fruit

Bedtime - 8oz. bottle of milk

she was very late to accept table foods and it seems like she still hasnt learned how to eat a lot of different textures The dr isnt worried and says it will come with time. I get frustrated when I hear all of these great foods other toddlers are eating though...
