First time parents. The wee lad coming up to 1 year and he loves his fruit. As a snack it's ace, some fruit and he's as happy as a pig in the poo.
Any other alternatives for snacks? I've started giving him carrot sticks (cooked as he's only got a couple of teeth).
A little container of children's cheerios? The ones in Miss Mac's, nappy bag at the moment are numbers, some of which are raspberry flavour which she seems to quite like.
Cucumber sticks also seem to go down quite well but don't keep too well.
Second the Cheerios, chuck some sultanas in with them.
We also buy some stuff as well, goodies organix mainly but they aren't brought out very often as we don't want him getting in the habit of snacking on crips and bar type things.
We make scones or cheese straws and give little portions as snacks or oat cakes and crackers served dry. Our daughter is 11 months old.
Don't give dried fruit as a snack only fresh fruit. Dried fruit only as part of a main meal. The drying process changes the natural sugars in fruit. Milk and water as drinks between meals no fresh fruit juice only at mealtimes.
Little bits of cake (carrot cake was a fav for our boy). Homemade so you can cut back on sugar and the other nasties.
Rivita.
Cooked, cold pasta.
Ham (again, home cooked to avoid too many sulphates).
Patrick always viewed carrot sticks as the work of the devil but did and still does love fruit. Mango and tangerines were always his preference. As long as the fruit's varied, I wouldn't worry about it being his only snack. As long as his other meals contain lots of different 'stuff'.
As he gets more teeth, you may find he likes to gnaw to help the tooth break the surface.
Bleedin' sultanas and raisins. Just gave our 14 month old a hot cross bun...he's managed to eat all the bready bit and spat out the raisins. 😐
Tried yoghurt coated ones. Sucked the yoghurt off and spat out the fruit. 😐
LesBijoupotato is 11months he eats a small mound of whatever we eat normally followed by bits of a fruit platter. He even went in for the other nights homemade lamb curry pizza. Small bits on a dinky fork and he's happy as anything
