Healthy snacks for toddlers

My 19 month old son has been wanting more snacks lately and just ran out of the things he likes and I'm going shopping for more items.

Anyway, what do you guys give your kids as snacks? I try and keep it healthy but this kid loves bread so his big favorite is raisin bread. He likes hummus and loved his berries but he's either teething from his molars or he's just picky so he's not wanting his fruits or veggies that i used to give him.

I need more ideas

Cucumbers, carrots, yogurt, applesauce, raisins are a huge hit, fruit of course, graham crackers but id like to see other ideas too.

Pretzels are a good snack! They have organic ones as well! In my house we also have apples, nectarines, pears, avocado, and kiwi. I'll just give him a whole one or mix with yogurt! We also make organic noodles and he has those with hummus or cashew butter!!

apple sauce, bananas, olives, raisins, craisins, strawberries, apples and peanut butter, sometimes just a spoonfuls of nut butter, he loves sunflower butter right now, we also get a healthy cereal but I can't remember exactly what it is lol

I like the cerebelly pouches and granola bars. We do low sugar yogurt and mix in peanut or almond butter. Frozen blueberries smoothie with his Ripple milk and sneaky spinach lol

I also make these really easy oat banana cookies he likes. I sub strawberries instead of the raisins and add 1Tbsp chia seeds + 1tsp vanilla.

I like to give my son Chex cereal, applesauce and he lovesss Rice cakes!

Free dried fruits, fruits. Cheese, hummus, homemade guacamole, smoothies

MightyMe peanut / nut butter puffs are the best! We also mix those in with dry cereal, dried fruit / raisins, and yogurt melts for toddler trail mix. The Sproutz snacks are also pretty healthy and fun textures that picky eaters like to explore.

Veggie straws, pretzels, kiwi, cheese sticks, rice cakes, cheezit besides her normal fruits and veggies she loves

Hummus, celery and peanut butter, cheese and apples, peaches

I do grapes quartered cause I'm scared he'll choke, make a peanut butter roll up. Basically a tortilla with peanut butter 😅 little pepperoni, cheese sticks, yogurt with some quick oats in it

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.
