Kids microwave meals

Don’t feel guilty. This crap is hard. I work full time shifts, have a bad sleeper so never get a second to myself & am lucky to get 3 hrs broken sleep a night & am close to burn out. My boy is going thru a fussy phase with food atm. I have given up right now- on the odd occasion I actually eat properly i will try him with whatever i make, but i usually live off toast, thrown down my neck while sorting him, in which case i have resorted back to pre made baby/toddler food. I am so close to burn out that I am picking my battles right now! I am past guilt as I am doing my best, which u are also. Sending love x

Don’t feel bad, they are really carefully regulated to contain the right nutritional balance for little ones, it’s not like us having an adult microwave meal. They’re probably healthier than a lot of what other kids get, to be honest!

Fed is best! I use the microwave meals quite often. What I usually do is give him a fresh lunch.. usually picky bits like some chicken veggies or fruit that I've cut up and some kind of carb and then he has a microwave meal for dinner. There quite healthy for the little ones and I know he's getting some veggies in him then, I suffer with mental health issues so it can be hard to actually prepare meals sometimes so I always have them in the house for when I'm having a bit of a dip.. also my son hates my cooking 😂

My son is going through really fussy periods too and I physically give up cooking for him and him not eating it. We have been getting the little dish ones from Gousto and he loves them! Like others I am picking my battles. Anything I make myself for lunch for him he barely eats so at least he eats dinner 🤣🤦‍♀️ (if only half of one of them)

Thanks ladies, good to hear im not the only one! Xx

Just jumping on this too as I want you to know you're not alone. My little one has been so up and down over the past 2 months - broken sleep, teething, regressions and wonder weeks fussy phases. I'm definitely choosing my battles too and have had to resort to going back to some microwave trays too. She's definitely picking and choosing st the moment and I'm just not prepared to waste loads of freshly cooked food lol x
