What's your 2 year old eat on an average day?

Question

What do they eat? Healthy and unhealthy foods? I know not all parents feed their children healthy but just seeing how I compare as I feel like I'm doing a bad job at making her eat

Answer

My daughter is 2 ... I use the old method: eat what is served. I don't make special good for her. She had good days and bad days. We do 2 large meals: BIG breakfast, and BIG early dinner. And 3 snacks: before nap, after nap, and an about 90 minutes before dinner.

Answer

My 16 month old eats pretty healty. Loves veggies especially carrots.  My husband also mixes him fruit juice from fresh fruit in our ninja blender. He does get the unhealthy treat once or twice a day.

Answer

My 2 year old is horribly picky. She is currently living in Mac and cheese, PB&J, Oatmeal, Fruit and mini pancakes and all she drinks is water and apple juice. We give her a daily vitamin. We've talked to her doctor, she just said to keep trying to add new things but don't force her and that it's something she should grow out of.

Answer

The day my son turned 2, his appetite turned off. He ate bacon, chicken, cheese and apples for like a year. He would cry hysterically.

Now he is 6, and i cant keep enough fresh fruits in the house. Kids are picky..they grow out of it.

Answer

I have a two year old and he is a picky eater! He only eats cheese, fruit snacks, strawberries, black olives and pepperoni and lives on orange juice haha. I think at that age most are picky so just feed her whatever she will eat as long as it's not candy/pop/junk food.

I also give my son vitamins, you should try that too.

Answer

My son eats pretty healthy on his own. But when he has days where he doesn't want healthy stuff, I sneak it in anyway lol. Pancakes for breakfast, but I put a ton of oats and grains in them along with Greek yogurt. I use the crockpot alot, he loves crockpot chicken dinners and I just cut up veggies really small and add them to the chicken and he never notices. He loves Greek yogurt as a snack and we just figured out that when he won't eat cooked veggies, he will usually eat them raw. They are little people with their own preferences, I'm sure you are doing just fine :)

Answer

My kid is 3 and he barley eats anything but when I do get him to eat he loves fruit and string cheese as snacks we usually do cereal or pancakes for breakfast and Mac and cheese or meat sandwich for lunch and meat with potatoes and veggies or noodle type dinners but very small portions due to the stage he's going through. The pediatrician told us that as long as he eats anything that he's healthy it's just the age group.

Answer

My kids are past two and one on the way, but seriously.... If you're feeding them and making even the slightest attempt at keeping it healthy, you're doing fine. Toddlers are horribly picky and will loudly and violently protest anything they don't like or even suspect they don't like. I made up for their refusal to eat veggies by sneaky them into smoothies, pasta, etc and giving them veggie juice. As they got a bit older we introduced more vegetables and other foods and there are very few things they are picky about now. When they're that little though, it's important to introduce them to new foods, but it's also important to pick your battles.
