What My 18 Month Old Ate Today 10.6.2023

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 – 180mL/6oz Whole Cow’s Milk

Breakfast – 07:30am – Waffle and Pouch

Aryi attacked this waffle this morning. He still seemed hungry so I offered him a fruit and veggie pouch. He ate about half the pouch. 

Snack 1 – 09:30am – Cake Pop

We went to target. I like to get Aryi a cake pop treat when we go to target. He loves them and they keep him busy for a while when we shop. 

Snack 2 – 10:00am – Cheese its

Aryi was still snacky after his cake pop, so I gave him some cheese its. 

Lunch – 11:30am – Pizza Mac and Cheese with Butternut Squash

This is one of my hacks, to add some veggies to an otherwise unhealthy meal. I got this microwave mac and cheese from Trader Joe’s for a quick lunch. I added a butternut squash puree to this pasta. You could not even taste the squash over the pasta. 

Milk – 12:30pm – 180mL/6oz Whole Cow’s Milk with 2 oz Water with Vitamins

Snack 3 – 4:30pm – Pouch and Bar

Aryi was hungry. He chugged down a pouch. I offered him a bar after that. He ate that too. He ate so much food today. 

Dinner – 06:00pm – Sausage and Carrots with Hummus

I made some chicken apple maple sausage with carrots for dinner. Aryi ate the sausage and some carrots, then played in the hummus. 

Milk – 07:00pm – 180mL/6oz Whole Cow’s Milk with 2 oz Water
