Daycare food question

If your baby is eating table food do you send in food or feed them what daycare serves? If you send in food -- what are you sending? I'm not happy about my daycare's menu (chicken nuggets, bologna, pizza) so I'm still sending in lunches, but I'm running out of ideas. DS is just under 11 months.

Re: Daycare food question

I send DD with Pasta and small pieces of baked chicken, carrots, peaches, lots of fruit, yo baby yogurt, crackers and cheese. Waffles with fruit. you can do small pieces of chopped meats.

I send in food with Jacob. I send him with cut up fruit, pastina, and chicken. Not the most exciting stuff but it works for now

Re: Daycare food question

i know how you feel! our dc serves fruit in syrup!!!! (um, not healthy for my dd!)

chunks of sweet potatoes, kiwi (dd is addicted!), mango, chicken, whole wheat bread, corn...can't remember right now....

except when daddy brings her...then she gets dc food!

Re: Daycare food question

Our daycare provides food and although it is not the healthiest (pasta, grilled chese, french toast) itis very hard to send in food because itis Kosher dairy (no meat allowed). I send in healthy snacks like fruit.

Re: Daycare food question

I was sending our own food, but DS wasn't eating it because he wanted what all the other kids were eating and was actually grabbing for their food. So I gave in, even though the school lunch isn't the healthiest thing.

Re: Daycare food question

My DD has alot of food allergies so I buy food to keep at daycare (I try and buy some of the same things that she serves - Just Emma safe).
I also send food with DD everyday.

Some things I send.

Pasta and sauce.
Grilled chicken
Pastina type noodle
Meatloaf
All kinds of leftovers that can be heated up in the microwave.

For snacks I will send cups of fruit (like mandarin oranges and peaches) - Apple sauce - cheerios - Ritz crackers - jello - soy pudding - soy yogurt. etc...
