10 month old- Food at Daycare?
My DD is just under 10 months and is in daycare daily from 1:30 PM- 5:00 PM. During that period of time she usually gets one bottle of breast milk (around 3/3:30) and she's been getting one large container of baby food. I also send snacks- puffs, cheerios, or yogurt melts. Lately she's been refusing the baby food. So I tried sending her with yogurt instead and she ate all of it. But I feel like that's a lot of yogurt for her to be having. Any ideas on what else I can send in? If I send in fruits or something will they cut them up and give them to her? I mean she eats everything at home- she snacks on all kinds of fruit, pb&j sandwiches, cheese.... and then eats everything we eat- veggies, muffins/pancakes/toast, rice, meats (chicken, turkey, sausage), pasta... I just don't know what to send to daycare for her. They provide food for the older kids but not at her age.

10 month old- Food at Daycare?
I would send exactly what she's eating at home to day care and cut it up yourself. That's what we did. My DD was also eating one container of yo baby yogurt a day.
I got the little oxo containers and would put cut up fruit, pasta, egg, pb sandwiches, etc. My DD's daycare teachers would cut stuff up smaller if they thought my pieces were too big.

Oh good! That's what I wanted to do, but I wasn't sure if they would feed it to her, ya know? I don't know why I had it in my head that they wouldn't. 
I have those oxo containers so that's what I've been sending her snacks in. Did the fruit hold up okay in the container?

This is what I did. Only thing I didn't cut up was the banana I would send in.

Makes sense! She's not too crazy about bananas anyway- the flavor sure, but I don't think she likes the mushiness.

As far as I know they held up fine! I used to put an icepack in her lunch bag and I know they used to put everything in the refrigerator and heated up stuff as needed.

10 month old- Food at Daycare?
As everyone said cut up and send in. At that age I'd do packs, string cheese, yogurts, cherrios, cut up grapes, strawberries. Avoid anything with peanut butter as you don't know if there are any allergies. Apple slices, graham crackers. Pretty much whatever we ate at home. My daycare couldn't cut up so I had to do that when I sent it in. Cantaloupe and melon were 2 of dd's faves at that age and I would do big chunks so she could hold it herself.

Got it! Thank you! Yeah, I'm pretty sure they have a peanut free policy in place anyway so I wasn't planning on sending that in. She gets enough at home- I'm a little PB obsessed.

At that age I sent in everything we ate at home - I'd just cut it up really small and put in the oxo containers. They'd heat it up a little for her.

10 month old- Food at Daycare?
I send in breakfast, lunch and 2-3 snacks. Lunch is usually leftovers from the night before, cut up. Breakfast is a rotation of pancakes, waffles, french toast, english muffin, eggs. Snacks I always send cut up cheese (the cheese sticks and string cheese at trader joes are perfect), some kind of fruit or veggie, and a treat- usually bunny grahams or a muffin. Our daycare will cut things as necessary, though I try to do most of the cutting myself.
We also keep cereal bars, fruit snacks, rice cakes and other assorted snacks there so she never runs out of food.
