Meal Question
I am fairly new to home daycare, started in July of 2016. I have been a lurker on this forum since before that. I had a question when it comes to feeding the children and when we are allowed to count them in our numbers of meals served. I have a 9 month old that is transitioning to foods slowly. His parents have been providing baby food for the last few months and he is transitioning to table foods (slowly). Is there a certain percentage a child needs to be eating before you can count them as a meal served. Example: today lunch was chicken patties, French fries and peas. I blended up the peas and fed them to the child in question for the first time. How much does he need to be eating of the meal that I served for it to count?

FP rules say parents can contribute one component of any meal and you can still count it. So milk of some kind. or GF bread for you to keep on hand etc.
