Food for a one year old?

Question

My one year old son will be starting daycare on Monday, I need to pack his breakfast and lunch. Looking for suggestions for finger type foods easy to pick up and somewhat good for him. Any ideas?

Answer 1

breakfast: waffles, mini pancakes, fruit, french toast sticks, dry cereal,



lunch: 1/2 sandwich, fruit, veggies,

Answer 2

Cold cuts, ham or turkey. Cheese, crackers, and maybe some fruit. You can buy those fruit cups, those are super easy! For breakfast you could cook a frozen waffle or pancake at home and take it with you for the school to feed him. Hope this helps! Good luck.

Answer 3

At this age it is important for her to have whole milk, as she needs the fat. Introduce fruits - she is probably already eating bananas? Begin inroducing citrus fruits, melons. apricots. Small pieces of whatever cooked veggies you like, and maybe raw broccoli or cauliflower as finger foods - be careful with the raw ones. Eggs are good and nutritious. Cooked breakfast cereals give good fiber - instant or regular oatmeal, grits, cream of wheat, etc. You might want to try items like guacamole, hummus, cheese and yogurt dips. Hummus can also work well as a spread on crackers. Cooked potatoes and sweet potatoes, small pieces of cheese are good. Rice, small pieces of tender chicken, mashed beans, etc. are options.



When my kids were small I used a blender to puree a little of whatever we were having, and as they got used to the taste, just mashed it or left it a little lumpier.



These links should give you lots of ideas. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

You can cut bit size pieces of fruits and vegetables such as apples, pears. My sister sometimes add a little peanut butter with the fruits for deeping the fruits in. Kids seem to like it.

Answer 5

Well i have a one year old son also and i usually feed him slices of bananas for breakfast so you could put that in a bag for him to bring to preschool for breakfast. and for lunch pack him a peanut butter&jelly sand which easy to pick up. and one year older love that. well good luck! also its good for your child to have a carton of milk every day for breakfast. and for lunch you could give him apple juice or milk either one works.

Answer 6

breakfast - whole wheat crackers with cottage cheese and some cut up fruit ( apples bananas etc.)



Lunch - cut up very small chicken tenders (cooked but cold is ok)... and cubes of cheese and of course some fruit!







If you don't do dairy - tofu cubes are fun too!
