[quote=Anonymous]Hi, my daughter is starting daycare in April when she's almost 18 months. She has some minor developmental issues which mean she's on the slow side for eating solids. She's 14 months now and just started eating bananas. She eats Cheerios and a few other finger foods but it's a struggle. We have an O/T and we're working on it but I'm wondering if it would help if we knew what kids her age usually eat at daycare. That way, we can start introducing her to those foods. Does anyone have some typical foods your kids were served at daycare that you could please share? Can they eat with spoons or is it finger food at that age? We've been practicing daily with a spoon but she's too young to use it well.

I know it would be easier to just ask the daycare for a sample menu. I'm worried about doing that because my DD also isn't walking yet. She's been cruising for several months but shows no interest yet in walking. The daycare says she needs to be walking to be admitted and I told them she isn't yet. I don't want them to reject her because she's on the slower end of development in these two areas. I can't afford a nanny and I need her to be in daycare when our current in-home setup with a relative ends. Another daycare we've toured has the same requirements.

Thanks so much for any suggestions![/quote]
