Any other mom’s stressing out about their toddlers……???Please read!?

My son just turned 1 year on the 2nd. I took him to his 1 year checkup/shots on the 7th. His doctor recommended that switching them over from the bottle to solids and a sippy cup at 1 year is easier than waiting until 18 months to be completely off of the bottle. I took her advice and tried getting him off the bottle all but the first feeding of the day and putting him on 3 meals & 2 snacks. He seemed to do fine with it but now I’m stressing over what to make him for meals and that he is not going to get enough of what he needs in nutrition or vitamins. He will have lunch and 2 snacks while with my sister-in-law each day that I’m at work so not sure exactly what other mothers do or send to make sure they are getting enough. What do other mom’s do when their child is in daycare and on solids? How many ounces of milk per day do they have and how many meals snacks? Any other meal ideas or help is apprciated.

he should have milk at one or two meals per day fruit is also really good for a snack just be sure not to give him anything hard or really unhealthy like chips or something for lunch those gerber graduate meals are awesome i fed them to all my kids up till they were like 6 or 7. umm my two year olds really like cheese sandwiches and tomato sanwiches.. oh and i have always always always fed my kids macaroni but mush it up a little for a one year old

Have you got various healthy meal ideas with budget friendly and give you extra time for yourself?
