I had an interview for an 18 month old last week and all was good till we got to the part about foods. They are still making her special foods and limiting her starches so basically she is eating fruits and vegetables, a bit of meat and a bit of whole wheat toast. They said they are disappointed that she is wanting to eat what they area eating and that at daycare the provider has said there are issues with her sulking and not eating anything at lunch (never said if food was the reason for needing to move daycare but it did seem to consume a large part of our discussion).
My question to them was well I assume if you are health conscious and eating a well balanced nutritious diet that it makes sense now that your child is no longer a baby that she would gradually move to eating what you are eating. The fact that she is asking would indicate that she is ready .....not sure they liked that at all because it didn't take too long after this discussion before they more or less cut the evening short. Going to assume that one is a writeoff which is probably a good thing because at my house if you are old enough to sit at the children's table you eat what everyone else eats. If you are still in a high chair then there is an infant meal available.
