Jeremy is now 13 months today So he is newly a toddler. Just started walking about a month ago.

Oatmeal is great for the digestive system, add a little brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon - most kids love it! As mine got older, I began adding raisins as well, which goes over well. Way better than instant, and only takes 8 minutes Whole wheat toast, and white milk make it a very filling meal. Also healthy

I am thinking of trying the oatmeal actually, that was a thought I had the other day. He won't eat baby cereal anymore, so this may be the next step to take. Although I think I would hold off on the raisins just yet, that is a good idea too. He does do whole wheat toast, and he won't drink white milk, but he is still on formula and we may be doing pediasure or enfagrow, depending on what the doctor says.

Get your son to begin eating greens, while he's still open-minded. Cook his broccoli a little longer than yours, to lose most of the crunch. Do the same for his carrots. The yogurt, peanut better crackers, whole milk, and whole grain bread are great choices !

And here we have the major struggle. He doesn't like his veggies! Though, I have not tried broccoli - that is a really good idea! He used to do mashed carrots and he does like mashed white or sweet potatoes, so I have been doing that. He loves his yoghurt, and also whole grain bread or whole wheat bread. The crackers I am unsure of - the hardness of them frightens me, do you think he would choke? Peanut butter we just introduced.

I believe in staying away from the juice and soda as long as I can though. I tell my girls that they can't drink soda until they're 40. They're okay with that for now , LOL!

Ha ha, thats funny! He really does not get much juice or soda. He gets a few sips of soda for a treat from moms glass, only when we are out at a restaurant, usally 2x a month or less. As for the juice, I give him v8 vegetable or fruit fusion, that way its at least giving him a source of F&V's. For the most part his water comes from formula or those drinkable yogurt. And, he JUST started being okay with water yesterday. He will now take a sippy of water, but it has to be ICE cold..literally, with ice cubes LOL. Hes a man that knows what he wants I guess.

Thanks for the advice!
