WHAT MY 16 MONTH OLD ATE TODAY 8.31.23

Disclaimer – I am not a nutritionist or an expert in nutrition in any way. I am just a mom sharing what my son ate on this day. This is not a meal plan or a guide for anyone else. This is just what works for us.

Milk – 06:00am – 240mL/8oz whole cow’s milk

Aryi loves milk in the morning. 

Breakfast – 07:30am – ½ eggo waffle, egg bite, and sausage link

I thought I would give Aryi a waffle today. He never had one before. He loved it. 

Snack 1 – 09:00am – Teething biscuit

Snack 2 – 09:30am – Cake pop from Starbucks

I went to get myself a drink from Starbucks this morning. I like to get Aryi a cake pop to treat him when I go. He only eats half of it, then says “done done”. But he says “mmmmm” after every bite. 

Lunch – 11:00am – Deconstructed sushi

We like to make sushi for lunch a lot. It is super easy to make. We have a rice cooker, so all I have to do is cook some rice in the rice cooker and boil some eggs. I add half a nori sheet to the rice while it’s hot so it kind of wilts. I add some soy sauce and some spicy mayo. I also add carrots, imitation crab meat, and eggs. 

When I have tofu, corn, cucumber, or a ripe avocado I will add that too, but I didn’t have those things today

Milk – 12:00pm – 240mL/8oz whole cow’s milk with vitamin

I give Aryi a bottle of milk before he goes to take his nap. It helps him get to sleep to drink some milk.

Snack 3 – 03:00pm – Grain bar

He only ate half. He hasn’t been eating a lot of anything today. He is teething. 

Snack 4 – 04:30pm – Pouch

Aryi loves this one. It just tastes like Pears, but you are getting in your green veggies. 

Dinner – 05:30pm – Indian Sag and Paneer with Rice and Nan, and a yogurt cup

Milk – 07:00pm – 240mL/8oz whole cow’s milk
