THE MEGA

LIST OF EASY
TODDLER FOOD
& MEAL IDEAS
Bonus List of High
Calorie Foods!
This guide is intended for toddlers for about 18 months and
older. However, many of these ideas are perfect for babies
transitioning to table and finger food, too! Please use your
best judgment when deciding if your child is capable of
chewing something, as each child is unique. For instance, a
20-month-old may be able to chew a small pretzel, while a
12-month-old can’t (pretzels are on this list). Also, hard fruits
and veggies should be cooked for younger children. Always
eat with your child and monitor them and their skills while
eating. Be adventurous and have fun at meals, but trust
your instincts.

Hey, I’m Alisha

I’m a mom like you, and feeding my toddlers was way harder than I thought, even though
I happened to ALSO be a pediatric occupational therapist that had specialized in feeding
young kids.
One of the things that made it extra hard, was that I had a SUPER DUPER picky eater. Like
the kind that would be on my caseload.
And, one of my other kids went through a typical picky eating phase, that could’ve grown
into worse picky eating.
I was fortunate to have the background I did, but most parents don’t.
And, the picky eating struggle is real. Am I right? Or, am I right?
Over the last decade plus, I’ve helped thousands of parents from all over the world fight
back about picky eating. It doesn’t have to rule your kid’s life, or yours.
That’s why I’m inviting you to one of my best freebies, a free 1 hour workshop: 3 Keys to Turn
Around Picky Eating!
