My granddaughter loves mac and cheese with sweet potato fries. Strange combination in my mind but it works. The fries are great on those days when she thinks all food is “disgusting”. At least she thinks the fries are fun to eat.

Breast feeding for 10 – 15 minutes per breast 8 – 10 times every 24 hours is an ideal target. Crying is a sign of hunger, which means you should actually feed your baby before he starts crying. During the first few days, you may have to wake your baby to begin breast feeding, and he may end up falling asleep during feeding.

Thanks for the tips. I have found over the years that a great variety of different toddler meals helps to develop a kids palette. Also offering new foods in a fun setting where the focus is not in food. For example snow peas in the shower. For picky eaters lots of praise, praise praise throughout the day will help meal times to be less of a battle.

@Aimee – mama, I know ALL ABOUT the picky here. Our 4.5 year old takes picky to new levels. If she could, she would live on rice, berries, and the occasional corn dog (eeek!). We’re just trying to stay consistent with encouraging new things.

And yes – those first weeks (months?) when the spoon is in the hands of the little one – so messy! But lots of good photo ops, right?

@Katie, you did NOT sound snotty! Not even!

Great food ideas here. We have been using corn tortillas every now and again and it’s a nice change up. Thanks for sharing these!

@steadymom, those are two foods that I think stay on the family meal rotation long past toddlerhood.

@Michelle, I will DEFINITELY be looking into a onigiri press. My girls are huge rice eaters, but I can never get my rice sticky enough to make great rice balls. I didn’t know they made presses for that! Thank you!

@Elizabeth, totally agree about Super Baby Food. Lots of good info, but can be a bit overwhelming. I love the “wholesome” sites – a lot more manageable.
