Taking Anxiety out of Mealtimes
This weekend I was watching a YouTube star's "What I Eat in a Day" video. (The things I do to unwind during quarantine. 🤷‍♀️) And I thought, "Now, I could do that!" Well...not a video. But a blog post about what my 19-month-old daughter eats in a day - with the added twist of her 5 major food allergies. So here we are: A typical day in the life of what my daughter eats.
Because her diet is so limited, I worry about my toddler getting enough variety in her meals each day. She is allergic to dairy, soy, sesame, peanuts and tree nuts (other than coconut). I've tried looking up toddler meal plans online, but at least 60% of the meals include something she's allergic to. So, I decided to do some research and make my own "meal plan" for the week! I hope it can help you too!
