I hadn’t even thought of sweet potatoes! Do you just buy a bag of frozen ones? If so, do they have much salt? I could even just peel and cut some sweet potatoes. She loooooooves steamed veggies.

All right, we have a 2-and-a-half-year-old, but I’m still stealing these ideas. Thanks! We always need quick, easy-chew snacks to give him, because he never wants to sit down and eat meals in any organized fashion.

I wanted to give an idea from our repertoire, and I can only think of a weird one: frozen sweet potato fries. Our son loves french fries, so we got the sweet potato variety, but he’s often too impatient to wait 20 minutes for them to cook. But he’ll happily dip them, still frozen, in ketchup and chow down! They’re still pretty soft to eat and don’t make much of a mess (especially if you skip the ketchup — but he loves “dip”).

Laura: Our son is always messing with the door stop, too! What’s up with that?

Green pepper sticks are a favorite here, as are chunks of cantaloupe. Barley teething biscuits occasionally step in, too. And tomato slices if you’re not avoiding those. And cheerios if not avoiding all wheat.

Although just now I am trying to stop DS from eating the door stop. Any idea what the nutritional content of THAT is?
