Quinoa mixed with other items, gogurt (in a tube), etc. I have to keep dcg in a highchair with these as I have a designated kids table and cannot feed her easily there. Just wondering. Thx!
I don't allow any food from home to be brought into care. I provide all meals and snacks for all children.
At 20 months all my kiddos self feed. Including things like apple sauce and yogurt. I don't serve tubes or pouches of anything.
Are you on a food program or do all your family's provide food from home? If so, I would just communicate with DCM that she needs to send foods DCK can manage on her own until she becomes more skilled in self-feeding.
