I have a 14 month old son and the passed few days he hasn't really been eating his lunch at daycare. I think he may be bored with what I've given himk lately. i wanted to see other people give for lunches to get some ideas. I can't think of anything other than hot dogs, chicken nuggets, fruit cups and pasta pick ups. Any help would be great. Thanks!

my son loves to have a soft cheese sandwidge and a banana and rasins for his lunch at the moment he is 15 months

My little guy thinks variety is the spice of life too & won't eat anything 2 days in a row. Coming up with different lunch ideas is always a challange. Tyson makes fully cooked grilled chicken strips that are a nice change up from chicken nuggets. One of his new favs is pasta salad. It takes a little prep but keeps in the fridge for a few days & you can take it for your lunch as well. I put some veggies right in the pasta water to cook for the last 3 minutes or so to soften them up a bit (carrots & broccoli) & then mix it with cut up cheese, tomatoes and italian dressing. My son is also a big fan of chef boyardee. Have you thought about hard boiled eggs? Also the matchstick carrots are nice for them to crunch on as well & don't pose the chocking risk that baby carrots do. Hope that helps a little!

I have used the gerber graduates little box meals. My 14 month old son loves them. He too got tired of the pasta pick ups. I have also sent the lunchables...now they have mini lunchables which are perfect for their little fingers to pick up. I also send cut up grapes or strawberries, kiwi, blueberries all mixed in a bowl...Brennan loves that. I would just rather he have fresh fruit than canned fruit. Although he gets that too. Try sending mac & cheese (chef boyardee has those in a small portion). Just some ideas. Hope that helps.
