What My 16 Month Old Ate Today 9.8.2023

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

Breakfast – 07:30am – ½ Cinnamon roll and 1 sausage link

Aryi can’t eat a lot of sweet things like this, so I gave him ½ of the cinnamon roll and saved half for another day. It ended up being the perfect amount. I like to throw in a sausage link or some yogurt when I give him something sweet to add protein. 

Snack 1 – 09:00am – Grain bar

Snack 2 – 10:30am – Pouch

Aryi was very snacky this morning. 

Milk – 11:30pm – 240mL/8oz whole cow’s milk with vitamin

Lunch – 02:00pm – Coconut Curry Shrimp

Shrimp and rice are 2 of Aryi’s favorite things to eat. 

Dinner – 05:30pm – Avocado toast and a banana

I forgot to take a picture, but Aryi loves avocado toast, so I made this simple dinner. He also asked for a banana. He points and sais “ba, ba, ba”.

Milk – 07:00pm – 180mL/6oz Breast milk

This is the last bag of breast milk. I literally cried. I had to take a picture of Aryi holding the bag. Today marks the end of an 11 month pumping journey and nearly 17 months of breast milk for my baby.
