    Feeding 12mo Old...

    When a baby turns 1 yr old do you wait until parents try all the foods you feed your daycare kids or do you just go ahead and give it? Like fish sticks and eggs? I'm having a hard time finding stuff to feed him and although mom gave me the ok to try these and I have never had an issue in the past I get nervous too serve them first, not so much the fish sticks but the eggs. Just wondering what others do do you just try them?

    I request that the parent introduce any new foods and do so for atleast 30 days before I serve them here. I ask them to notify me of each new food as it is added to their diet.

        Yea I always wait for the parent to try, it's too risky. I have the same problem too though I am running out of ideas.

          Thanks, Mom said they would try them but they haven't yet, it's been a few weeks and I can tell he's getting tired of eating the same things. I just need more options.

            I would definitely wait for the parents to try it first....Maybe you could look up some other safer options online. That's what I used to do for my little girl.

              I serve my infants table food as soon as they can tolerate it by 12 months they are eating the same foods as the older ones. Except for high allergy items. Mine haven't had fish sticks but we do steamed whitefish and salmon. We do scrambled eggs after 18 mo. Until then it's cottage cheese, beans, etc for protein

                I do this as well. It's in my contract that by 12 months I will be providing table foods.

                  what kind of beans do you give? I haven't tried beans with my little man yet, I bet he would like them!

                  Also...is cottage cheese a big hit? I haven't used that either...Jack is lactose intolerant but he can handle small doses of cheese and yogurt, so far he's only had shredded cheddar a few times and he didn't seem that impressed
