Baby/Toddler Eating Schedule

I am writing this post to encourage all the mothers to share their babies/toddler's eating schedule.

This will help the mom community to see what others are doing for their kids and what kind of food they are serving. 

I tried to do search on some food plan for my daughter as I was confused what to give her and at what time. I could not find anything great on internet.

After several trial and errors I stick to this plan. I am sharing my plan; please share your plan as well along with the age of your baby.

Eating Schedule for 18 months old Toddler:

Time	Food
7:30 am	Some dry fruits, grind form
8:00 am	Egg + milk
9:30 – 10:00 am	Paratha (stuff or plain)/ cornflakes
12:30 – 1:00 pm	Lunch (Daal, Sabzi and Roti), I serve her whatever is cooked
3:00 pm	A Fruit/cucumber + any snacks(biscuits/cheela/Cornflakes/Aloo tikki/rava halwa/cheese slice)
5:00 pm	Milk + any snacks(biscuits/cheela/Cornflakes/Aloo tikki/rava halwa/cheese slice)
7:00 pm	Dinner (chicken/Daal + roti + sabzi), whatever is cooked for dinner

My daughter is still breastfeeding, I breast feed her once in evening and twice in the night. On Weekends, I breastfeed her on demand.

The above is the plan I try to serve to her. She may or may not eat it. Also at any point of time I keep an alternate ready. My daughter does not like repetition in her food. Whatever is served at lunch cannot be served at dinner. So I always keep some chicken in my fridge. This is a sure shot thing and she likes eating the chicken fry which is quick to make as well.

Although I have mentioned milk twice in my plan, she has not started liking it yet. She hardly drinks few sips and then rejects it. I do not force feed her. I let her eat at her own will and try few times before I give up.

My daughter goes to the day school so she gets to eat a variety of things at the school also. Sometimes they serve soup, pav bhaji, vada pav, etc for snacks. This gives her tongue a different taste.

I have started introducing some chilly to her. I put slight chilly in her food.

I am always in the lookout for new recipes or finger food that I can cook for her. I usually do that on weekends.

So far this plan seems to have worked for my daughter.

Do let me know what works for you.
