Feeding a 13 month old can be a challenge, especially if they’re a picky eater. But with a little creativity and some tasty ingredients, you can make mealtime a breeze. Here are some meal ideas to try out:
1. Scrambled eggs with avocado. Not only is this meal packed with healthy fats, it’s also soft and easy for little ones to chew. Cut the avocado into small pieces and mix it into the eggs for extra texture.
2. Mini pizzas. Using whole wheat English muffins or pita rounds, top with tomato sauce, shredded cheese, and small pieces of cooked veggies like onions or peppers. Broil for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
3. Pasta salad. Cook small pasta shapes like mini farfalle or rotini, and mix with chopped veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers. Toss with a little olive oil and lemon juice and serve chilled.
4. Sweet potato rounds. Slice sweet potatoes into rounds and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes until tender. Serve with a side of yogurt dip or hummus.
5. Turkey and cheese roll-ups. Cut thin slices of turkey and cheese and roll up together. Serve with crackers or baby carrots.
Remember to always supervise your little one while they’re eating, and never give them foods that could be choking hazards. With these meal ideas, you’ll have a happy and well-fed 13 month old!
