DD is 17 months.

She gets up around 7:30 - has a 6oz bottle of milk. (yes, she's still on the bottle.)

8:30- breakfast. Yogurt & banana, or oatmeal w/ brown sugar- apple butter & banana, or some type of mashed fruit. Sometimes she has a mini bagel w/cc & fruit.

11am- another 6oz bottle of milk.

Some days she naps at 11, sometimes she naps at 1.... It depends on her mood.

So lunch is when she wakes up, between 12 and 2:30. She has toast with cc & jam, or an eggs, crackers w/ cheese, turkey or chicken with cheese, matzo with apple butter, etc...

3pm- 6oz bottle milk.

5-5:30- dinner. The usual stuff. whatever we are eating.

7:30- 6 oz milk.

8-8:30- bed.

Loey eats all day long I swear!

During the week he's in daycare so it's a bit different, but on the weekends:

wake up 7:00. has breakfast - always 1/2 a banana, oatmeal & blueberries.

snack around 10 or so. variety of things. sometimes mixed berries, a smoothie, different fruits (apple, orange, pear, etc.), greek yogurt with honey, grapes & cheese, banana bread, muffin, cinnamon raisin bread with cream cheese, raisins/cranberries or other dried fruits, etc.

lunch is around noon. usually homemade mac&cheese, baked breaded chicken, leftovers from dinner, pasta with red sauce, meatballs, arroz con pollo, chicken and wild rice casserole, chicken drumsticks or chicken thighs, grilled cheese, grilled chicken, hamburger or cheeseburger, baked ravioli or ravioli with parm & olive oil, tilapia parm or prepared any kind of way, homemade fish sticks- any of these with a fruit & a veggie

snack when he gets up from nap, usually 3:00 or so. same as above snacks.

dinner around 6:30 or so. he'll have whatever we're eating or any of the things mentioned above for lunch.


he honestly doesn't drink milk. he gets calcium from other foods so i'm not sure if this helps you at all. we're also trying to move away from processed foods.
