plain spaghetti with sauce or jollof spaghetti with some sort of protein- fish, chicken, meat, egg, sausage
Sandwich - bread , buy a variety of spreads, it doesn't have to be complicated - peanut butter, jam, butter, chocolate spreads with bread is fine
slice of pizza from last night
fried/boiled yam and sauce or stew
Asaro from last night

zayhal: Boiled or fried potatoes with eggs/ fruit drinks.

Fried plantain

Golden morn with milk (that's if the teacher will help mix it for the child and feed him/her)

Jollof rice/boiled eggs

Spaghetti with sauce.

All of these accompanied with drinks and snacks and/or fruits like apple, banana etc.

I wouldn't recommend noodles because of how it turns out after a few hours.
.




Wow I love this, thought indomie was d only available option.
Re: What Do You Give Your Toddlers For Lunch Pack To School by Tgirl4real(f): 4:31pm On Jan 18, 2013
@ 7months, what u should be packing for ur baby for creche should be 2 milk feeds and 2 solids.

D solid could range from cereal (dere are diff types for her age - rice, wheat and mixed fruit, maize n mixed veg), oat meal, mashed pottatoe to purid fruits.

When she grows older custard, indomie, rice and others can be introduced.

If u are in naija and there is provision for food preservation u can consider amala and ewedu. I guess they will have to make it for her in school.

Yes you can pack fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberry , any berry in lunch bags... I splash some lemon juice on apple slices to prevent colour change too.....Also fruit-cups , they come in a sealed clear portioned cups....deelicious!!...... These cups also come in rice pudding, jello w fruit, a wide selection grin

And there's microwave provided for tots esp in daycares to warm up milk and all heated lunch available.

Usually food in a foodflask which is mostly jollof rice,boiled irish potatoes,fried plaintain wit eggs and at times noodles. With caprisomne, biscuits and water in her water bottle. Also I include fruits like banana and peeled oranges. I put varieties cos she is a picky eater. For her breakfast is usually goldenmorn with milk or tea wit eggs,she eats bread once in while.

mrs flawless: I usually pack food like jollof Rice, Chips and Sausage with either ketchup or b,bque sauce, beans and plantain, potatoes and egg and sometimes yam and fish sauce.
My own challenge is in the Snacks i pack, i feel guilty because they are mostly unhealthy and sugary things like biscuits, ribena, juice. I sometimes do fruits for them but then they come back home and say "everybody had Ribena in their lunch pack except me"
Please i need suggestion of healthy snacks to pack, i once read somewhere that diaebetes are now being treated in children!


In my children's school they have water day two times a week. On those days, they are allowed to bring only water to school, no juice
