bubbalicious: the place for young parents

my little girl loves her yogurts and egg custrad she loves 2 x

my little one loves cake and custard. but he also loves yoghurts and cheese that i give him for snacks. xxxxs

Yes there is pressure on parents to make sure that their kids are eating healthily, but so there shud be wen u are hearing stories like the one i saw in magazine about the mum who had twins, getting 250 pounds a week income support, she weighed about 20 stone an was feeding her 8 month old twins chewed up bits of mcdonalds an microwave meals because she 'didnt have time'! absolutley disgusting an a pathetic excuse!! she didnt even work how could she not have time, an even if she didnt cook surely a baby jar would have been a better option!! Harry has a baby jar dinner for his meal or i will cook him something, he has a yogurt or a cow an gate fruit pot, he only has organic snacks or i cut up banana of pear. And a little bit of dairylea on some bread. Dont get me wrong tho coz ther is the occassional chocolate button in there :) x x

Totally @mumof2 but its hardly rocket science! And you dont have to be right all the time... yes, my son does like chocolate and occasionally I allow him to drink coke. But he also has some kind of fruit or veg with every meal and give him a meal with meat, chips and veg he will eat the veg, then the meat, and generally leave the chips! Im quite lucky, I hate veg of any kind but Ryan loves it. When he was little I use to buy either the single person portions of steamed veg or a bag of frozen veg and just cook a small portion with his meals to make sure he didnt turn out like me! xxx

both my kids love all sorts of foods so I am lucky really, They will eat anything and everything so their diets are varied. I agree with @ryansmummy there is a lot of pressure on parents for their kids to eat healthy but in saying that it is the parents responsibility to make sure they do eat healthy foods, kids can't do it for themselves

All I can say is - thank god I dont buy wholegrain :) lol. However, I do think there is too much pressure on parents to make sure their kids eat healthy xxxx

cheese and yoghurts have calories so that sounds good!

Too bad my girls hate both cake and custard!!! They like things like yoghurts and cheese dippers for snacks or fruit but I can't even get them to eat their own birthday cakes!
