Seeking Advice/input About Some Food Ideas for 11 Month Old

For breakfast my son would eat at that age either oatmeal (the instant kind with the fruit or spices mixed in), yogurt or a frozen waffle cut up in little pieces. Invest in a couple of pizza slicers, they are great for everything from cutting the crust off sandwiches to slicing up toast or waffles and great for stuff like spaghetti! For lunch he loves the mini cheese ravioli with no sauce that you can buy refigerated I think it is usually in with the cheese stuff and I cook it and add just a bit of butter so they aren't sticky and he can manage them better. He also loves hot dogs He is almost 2 and I still slice them longways in 4 quarters and then slice them up into pieces. Also the poches of cooked chicken that you would use for salad, those are great too, since they are already bite sized. and Cheese sticks. My son eats more cheese than anyone else I have ever seen.
Dinner is his favorite meal I would give him fish sticks or chicken nuggets or more ravioli. He loves that ravioli! Mac and cheese, quartered up grapes, goldfish, granola bites, and spaghetti. Good luck!

Hi Lydya,
My 13 month old has a voracious appetite. A typical day includes:

2 baby bowls of oatmeal plus a bottle of milk for breakfast
2 pacs of applesauce or mixed vegetables for lunch
Snack - another bottle of milk plus cheerios to munch on
Dinner - half a bottle of water and 2 containers of yogurt or a bowl of cut up fresh fruit or cooked carrots
Bottle of milk before bedtime

Hope this helps.

Yogurt is a great breakfast option, too. As he gets older you can mix granola into it for extra nutrition!

My son used to LOVE avacados cut up in small chunks for any meal as well!

Mini pancakes are great, I like to put tiny pieces of bananas in them or pureed pumpkin. The pumpkin is a huge hit with all of my kids, though I add Splenda to the mix as well so it's not as bitter. Pumpkin adds a LOT of Vitamin A, because it's a squash!!

My son ate (and still eats) his weight in mashed potatoes, but never would eat mac and cheese, even the baby mushy kind or if I cut it up into pieces. He loved those Gerber toddler meals at that age, too, though now that he's almost 2 he won't touch them. He thought they were like gold at the time!!

Good luck!!

My daughter is 21m, but when she was that age, I'd give her the following:
Breakfast options:
- rice cereal with fruit
- regular banana, mashed.
- mini pancakes
- waffles
- baby yogurt
- tiny chunked fruits

Lunch/Dinner
- meat sticks
- hotdogs cut long ways
- cubed meats
- shredded cheese
- cheese raviolli
- 2nd/3rd stage fruits/veggies
- pasta (macaroni, wagon wheels, egg noodles - yolk free)

Well welcome to the world of mothers!! I have four children and after that many you do get creative about the menu...As far as breakfast, yogurt, cereal (with milk), oatmeal (differnt flavors), eggs, bacon, etc. At this point your 11 month is able to start eating regular foods in moderation. Test the little one to see what they like.
