What My 22 Month Old Ate Today 2.22.2024

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 – Cake pop and Egg Bites from Starbucks

On Therapy days, usually we treat ourselves to some yummy Starbucks. This has become a fun little tradition. 

Snack 1 – 9:00am – ½ Banana and Chocolate Coin

Aryi asked for a Banana. He ate half of it. Then He figured out the coin was chocolate and wanted that. 

Snack 2 – 10:30am – Lucky Charms 

When we were out, I packed a pot of cereal for fun. 

Lunch – 11:30am – Leftover Shrimp Fettuccine, Broccoli, and Carrots in Ranch and 180mL/6oz Whole Cow’s Milk with Vitamins

Aryi loves shrimp and noodles. This was the first time I gave him whole raw carrots cut like this. He likes cooked carrots and raw carrot strips. I think these were too hard to chew. He kept trying to eat them and spitting them out, so he liked them, just couldn’t chew them enough. This is something he does when he can’t chew something good or puts too much in his mouth. 

Snack 3 – 04:30pm – Bar

Dinner – 06:00pm – Greenbeans, Meatballs, and Bread and 180mL/6oz Whole Cow’s Milk 

I made green beans and meatballs for dinner. Aryi asked for bread, so his dad added a piece of bread to his plate. 

Aryi is taking all of his milk in a regular cup with a straw. We are transitioning the last cup now. He is doing great. This last morning cup is going to be the worst. He likes to drink it while laying in bed, then take a little nap. That is a bad habit we got into.
