toddler moms with picky/small eaters?

about how many different kids of meals does your dc eat for lunch/dinner?

how long does lunch/dinner take?

if it's a messy meal do you help or let your dc feed themselves?

if they ate something like ritz crackers with pb & j how many crackers would they eat? (totally odd question i know.)

josh will eat (small amounts of):

~pasta, sauce, nasty gerber meat sticks mushed in
~mac and cheese with carrots
~sandwich- cream cheese and jelly
~ritz with pb&j
~cheese rice with cauliflower and cheese
~ baked potato or mashed potato and gefilte fish (yuck!)
~yogurt, cinn. bread and fruit
~ zuchini and spaghetti, w/ sauce
~grilled cheese

he'll try other things but these are the only foods he'll eat enough of to consider it a meal.

thanks so much!

Re: toddler moms with picky/small eaters?

Josh has a bigger menu selection than TJ


He eats ALOT but not a big variety.

Breakfast might be:
1 egg scrambled with cheese and raisin toast
mini bagel w/butter
package of oatmeal
8 mini waffles
6-8 mini pancakes
2 slices french toast
sometimes cereal
I also try to give him a piece of fruit with breakfast

Lunch and dinner I mix and match:
chicken nuggets and fries
chicken cutlet cut up
he'll eat chicken and broccoli when we order it from the chinese place
sometimes spaghetti/pasta w/sauce
macaroni and cheese
1/2 grilled cheese w/yogurt
1/2 jelly sandwich w/yogurt
Sometimes if it is an off day eating wise, he gets a yogurt with lunch and dinner
I also try and give him a piece of fruit with dinner b/c he eats NO veggies

He usually has a snack mid-afternoon unless he is napping and he gets a snack after dinner before bed around 7ish....usually wheat thins, ritz, 2 oreos, 2 chocolate chip cookies, nutri-grain bar, etc.
