Topic: How much does your 11 month/1 yr old eat? Posted: 14 February 2011 at 12:23pm |
I was just wondering how much peoples kids eat.
Oliver ate 2 bobby bananas, a large orange and a cruskit thing today for lunch, does this sound like the right amount, it seemed alot to me. He always eats about this amount, he could have easily ate more as well.
ETA: he will be 1 next week

toddlers can eat more than bigger kids sometimes i find. also though that is a lot of fruit and it may not be filling him up the right way... as opposed to say a sandwich and a couple of pieces of fruit and a piece of cheese.

Yep often Aiden (13months), eats bigger meals than Isla (4yrs 3 months)!
Like Bizzy said- meals that include protein and carbs are going to be more filling than fruit- I would never eat 3 pieces of fruit and a cruskit for lunch myself!
Today DS had a wholemeal bread ham sandwich (1 peice of bread), 4 slices of avacado, a cherio and some nashi.
He loves hummus, avacado, grated cheese, ham as sandwich fillings.
For breakfast he has either cornflakes/rice bubbles or weetbix with milk and tinned fruit, follwed by a piece of toast and fruit.
For between meal snacks he has cruskits, or other crackers, or corn wafers, grapes or other fruit, raisins,...and in this heat is partial to a lemonade ice-block mid afternoon, or some frozen watermelon or rockmelon!

He can't eat dairy, soy or egg so I find it hard to get stuff that he can actually eat without giving him fruit. Most bread has soy in it, even marmite has soy in it :(

I find Like Bizzy said - Miss E (13 months) can eat more than her 4 year brother - or at least the same amount. Elodie loves her food mind and eats just about everything.

Oh thats hard- I dont even know how to make home made bread without milk powder! DD was allergic to dairy, and DS is a bit intollerent to soy- hes good now- hence can eat ham and cherios, but still cant have bread with soy in it, so he has the signature brand one that looks like vogles, but the soy flour must be a preservative cos that bread goes off so dam fast I have to put it in the freezer as soon as I buy it or it else its mouldy by morning!
Maybe you could make custard from whatever milk he can have, bit hard if hes bf, but I have found Oat milk good - expensive tho, but its a lot thicker than rice milk and better for making things with!
Maybe making scones with oat milk?
Hummus.
I would make meals like spag bol, chicken pasta with veges, and freeze portions, so they are on hand when u got nothing else! I used to cook a pack of sausages, chop, then freeze seperatly so I had them on hand, and could ate pasta, rice or poatoes and vege, if the kids couldnt have what we were having.

Your kidlets eat heaps!
Hiawatha had a tiny piece of steamed carrot, a few pasta shapes and maybe a small handful of peas today for lunch. And a chickpea sized bit of mince.  That's pretty usual here.
I'm pretty stumped about her not eating much (still!) but she's happy & gaining weight ok (85th percentile).
How different our kids can be.
Could you make some hummus? Sandwiches with hummus, tomatopaste (salt free), avocado & cheese are pretty yum!

Isla was on petpi jr, and it stunk when u try to cook it, yuk. It was useless for making white sauce with too- especially without butter- Ive heard of others doing it but I never had any luck!

Lily will have about half - 3/4 of a sandwich (mainly ham because that's her fave) umm a whole banana (big one - she hates the small ones), and either a couple of biscuits or crackers or a slice of something (say date loaf... apple/cinnamon loaf, etc).

Could I ask how many boob feeds or bottle feeds are people offering at 1 year?
Roo has 4 x boob feeds a day. He has a HUGE bowl of porridge for breakfast, then a couple of rice crackers when he wakes up after his nap. For lunch he likes ham, or chicken, or salmon with some avocado or courgette, followed by either a jar of fruit or a homemade fruit smoothie. For dinner he'll have either a jar of some such or homemade veges and rice. Then he'll polish off either some more fruit or a fruit based rice pudding.
He's not a fan of bread. I've only just recently got him eating bananas and mandarins. Doesn't like pasta or tomato based meals like spag bol.

Riley could easily eat a whole sandwich (with 2 pieces of bread) and a yoghurt or some cheese.
his favourite dinner is a slice or 2 of silverside or some mutton with an actual metric cup equivalent (think baking) of mashed potato and gravy (sachet gravy. not good gravy using the juices lol)
or we went out for a picnic lunch one day with my side of the family (nan, pop, my fam, aunts, uncles, cousins so on) and he grazed for about an hour lol. chicken, cheese, crackers, salad (lettuce, egg croutons etc) and he had soda water (loves it lol) some yoghurt. he had a huge sleep when we got home. think he had a christmas food baby  hehe.
rememebr that they are getting more active at this time - learning to walk and climb and everything... and they are getting their bodies used to needing the extra energy

We are the same here Tania, with all of Hunter allergies he cant eat a sandwich or other things that bubbas his age are eating.
For lunch he might have mashed veges and a banana or GF cruskits with hummus (can of chickpeas, water and oil whizzed together) or GF vege spread. He HATES meat, and will only eat it whizzed up really fine and hidden in veges. He also has orgran biscuits, pasta and rice crackers.
