I show my parents this when ever there is a food talk.

[DEBBIES DAYCARE]

I dont allow food from home into my house at all. I dont even allow it on birthdays.( cupcakes etc.) Don't the other kids freak out when they see her eating something they dont have? I can't deal with that. Every one eats the same. Its in my contrract..no food from home. I do it to make sure the kids are eating healthy on my watch and also to protect kids from food allergies. If someone is allergic to a paticular food it is not present in this daycare.

was it like a pudding that you would put in a kids school lunch pudding or one of those gerber custard jar things??

my son used to eat the custard things and the hawaiin delight jars..not AS a meal but as a snack or something...

No, the older kids don't freak out. She just gets baby food right now, and even when she has puffs or something, I just explain that she's a baby and they're big kids, so her food is different. I provide food for everyone else, though--just not infant food.

It's a Hunt's Snack Pack pudding cup...not anything even CLOSE to baby food AT ALL. I would have rolled my eyes at the gerber jarred thing, but fed it to her anyway...but this is NOT baby food.
