whats your babies / toddlers fav meal/food

[BabyMagic]

LO loves sweet potatoes (like her mum, maybe she got used to them in a tummy) and plain yoghurt...

[quote="Lou":1quw7szh][quote="linzi-x-":1quw7szh]Lexi's fave meal has to be spaghetti bol... self fed of course what a mess! but she loves it.
but to be honest theres not much ive given her that she doesnt like.. oooo other than coco pops... shes not likin thems
She would kill for haribo sweets though.. (Jellies-as she calls them) she would honestly bite your hand off if she new you had a haribo in your clasp...

Don't you worry she will choke on jelly sweets? Isaac doesn't have jelly sweets because of the damage to his teeth plus I'd rather give him fruit and the occasional oreo but only if he has eaten all his dinner and afters then he can have an oreo to dip in a cup of milk When he had his 8 month check up the HV tried to give him a smartie to eat, I was like

no i dont worry, i watch her carefully, she doesnt eat them 24/7 so i dont see it as a problem tbh.. she always eat her meals so its not like she substitutes them. i dont see anything wrong in children eatin chocolate or sweets as long as they eat there meals aswell and its not constant.. she is a very healthy child and eats very well. including all fruit and veg x

I disagree, I don't think toddlers should have sweets. Children of school age maybe as a treat (I believe they aren't allowed chocolate and sweets in their lunch boxes anymore anyway?) as long as its occasionally and not a daily occurance. My philosophy is that they won't miss what they've never had so if you don't give it to them then they don't know any diferent!

well everybody has different opinions Lou....and to be honest linzi didn't ask whether or not you thought her daughter should have sweets or not.

Shouldn't get involved I know, but it bothered me. You seem to be telling her what you think her daughter should or shouldn't be eating, and it's really her decision, not yours. It's a few jellied sweets, not crack cocaine!

Whoa!!!! Its a thread on a discussion forum about what our toddlers/childrens favourite food is. Would you be cross if I commented on some other members child eating say houmous?

I think some of you forget sometimes that this is a forum and all topics are up for discussion and opinions. I wasn't nasty, or offensive, or rude.

[/quote:1quw7szh]

exactly, it's a thread on favourite foods. So linzi posted what her child's favourite foods are. I don't think she posted them with the intention of having her decision to give her child the odd jellied sweet here and there so strongly criticized.

No, you weren't offensive or rude in the words you chose, but you were basically saying that you think she's wrong for giving her child sweets, and I didn't think it was called for.

If I were the one on the receiving end of the things you were saying to linzi, I'd have been annoyed.

But anyway I'm letting it go now because it's nothing to do with me.[/quote:1quw7szh]

Why bring it up then if its nothing to do with you? You can't have a go at me then decide to back off. I didn't strongly criticise anyone thankyou, I gave my opinion in a nice friendly way. Plus I don't see linzi saying anything, maybe she can speak for herself.! I'm sure she isn't offended, how can she be? I gave an opinion thats all, I never said she was a bad mum, or was feeding her toddler crap, I am a bit more diplomatic than that so please give me some bloody credit

I brought it up because it bothered me, but yes, you're right, she can speak for herself, hence why I decided to leave it there.

You maybe hadn't SAID that she was feeding her toddler crap, but you implied it, which is why I said that if you had aimed that at me, I would have been annoyed. I don't see why you should have started telling her that toddlers shouldn't eat sweets when she didn't ask your opinion, and you basically inferred that she was wrong to give her child the sweets.

But yes maybe linzi won't be offended when she reads it, hence I'm letting it go now.

Or, would you like to continue this longer? You seem to want to, but I'd rather not. I've said my piece, you've said yours, I've accepted that linzi can speak for herself, hence I'm stopping. But if you're DESPERATE to continue it can be arranged, I just don't see the point seen as how we've both spoken our minds.

I'm sticking up for myself, you are provoking an argument. The fact that you think I implied something is your take on it and you have totally contradicted yourself by offering an opinion that wasn't asked for by moaning that I offered an opinion that wasn't asked for. Think about it.

i didnt realise that mention that my LO like sweets was gonna cause ww3
and yes i do have my own mind but wasnt at the computer to write back.
yes to be honest lou i was offended as i did feel like i was being questioned on my parentin skills whether or not you intended it that way or not, thats the way it came across and obviously not just to me either. i didnt see you questioning ellieG for her child liking chocolate button.... because some of us see no wrong in treating them now and again. fair enough you dont like your child to have sweets thats your decision, you wouldnt see us sayin "omg dont be so over the top" would you ........

Thank you xena xxxx

Seren loves apples - would quite happily eat a dozen if I let her. We have to hide the fruit bowl from her as she has learnt to climb on the kitchen sides using her chair. Her fave dinner is spaghetti bolognese and she loves sweetcorn too.

Cally, she doesn't seem to have any real favourites, just likes food. Though recently she did go through a bit of a breadstick addiction, would shout for them. She likes mummy's chilli too.

 

[Lou]

This forum cracks me up, as soon as someone says something (which if I'm honest is probably what most people were thinking anyway) then they are the bad guy. Well I'll remember this next time I'm asked for my input. No wonder people are leaving left right and centre. I'm so pissed at this forum right now....going for a breather

 

[linzi-x-]

Well I'll remember this next time I'm asked for my input.

they only thing meant by this was exactly that.. i didnt ask, i was just answering the question in the thread title.. i wasnt askin people to tel me wat i should and shouldnt be feedin my daughter or questioning me..

I meant the next time I am asked for an opinion I will be reluctant to give it. The bottom line is I don't agree with toddlers eating jelly sweets but you do. Good for you

Wow!!! What a thread... anyways

Arianna's favorite..... just FOOD!! She loves Avacado, homemade pizzas, garlic bread, apples, fish of any sort, homemade steak & stilton pie (which she is eating just now!!), steak, Rhubarb, cheese, yoghurts.

Arianna also loves the odd Haribo or Percy Pig sweetie... but only as a treat every once in a while!

Glenn loves spag bol, loves spaghetti hoops and he loves his cooked meals, he will try anything at all, and eats a wide variety of different foods, he also likes milky bars,milky way and chocolate buttons, as do i.

 

[mum2A&L]

wow - i didn't realise food, esp sweeties was such an emotional subject!!!


Alice has the odd sweet - i will record how she says chocolate later and post it on here - it makes me chuckle!! I don't like harribo or any other 'jelly' sweet, so ive never given her any, but im sure she must have had some at some point!


I didn't realise that marshmallows expand in bellies and i let her eat loads ages ago... it wasn't till she was stuffing the 4th one in her mouth my mum mentioned how much they expand


Personally, i would rather alice try everything but eat them in sensible amounts (normally - oranges are an exception!!). She eats what i eat (apart from i could never eat THAT MANY oranges!! lol).

 

[Leese]

James likes couscous, which is very good for him but a b*gg*r to get off the high chair. All fruit and most veg. I peeled and gave him a prawn during Xmas dinner which he loved. He's not keen on sweet stuff, but all the mum's of older toddlers tell me that'll change!

 

[Lou]

My sister once told me that babies taste buds aren't fully developed so they taste things diferently to how we would taste things. Probably why they refuse food that we consider delicious and tasty
