Joey and I have this joke that instead of Starter Mama, I should have named my blog Snack Mama. Yes, wherever we go, I always carry snacks in our diaper bag and backup snacks in my own purse. I just feel like they're a necessity. You never really know when a toddler's next meltdown will be.
I remember the day we took the twins to the DFA to apply for their passports. While we were waiting for their turn at the photo capture station, they seemed fine while quietly flipping their board books. Then as the waiting area started to fill up, they became restless. I was worried that they would lose it right before or during their turn for photos. Thankfully, I was able to pack familiar snacks for them which helped calm them down. Whew!
Have you been in a similar situation lately? Well, there's nothing that a little packet of snacks can't solve. Today I'm sharing with you 3 snacks my twin toddlers love which have helped keep tantrums at bay.
Note: Babies should sit up and be supervised at all times while eating.
Field Day Organic Whole Grain Toasted O's
These are such an easy toddler snack. Their size and shape are just perfect for our little ones who are practicing their pincer grasp and mastering the skill of self-feeding. I love that they have 3 grams of fiber per serving which helps keep things moving in the digestive tract. We put them in spill-proof snack cups for mess-free snacking on-the-go.
Happy Baby Gentle Teething Wafers
These have been a favorite as soon as the twins started sprouting teeth. They got so excited when we started handing them the whole wafers instead of breaking them up piece by piece like we used to when they first tried them. I bet they felt like one of the big people! These wafers dissolve easily which lessens my worry about the twins choking while eating them.
Happy Tot Soft-Baked Oat Bar
These oat bars are soft enough for the twins to manage even without a full set of teeth. They come in individually wrapped packets which I can quickly pop in my bag. One bar has 4 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein which help keep the twins satisfied. They normally just split one bar between the two of them or sometimes Joey and I steal a few bites too! Yup, they're that good!
All these snacks are available at Healthy Options.
