Baby food during travel

Aniyaa · May 31, 2007

I am planning to travel to a remote village in India for 2 days.
I will be taking my 1.5 yr old with me.
I need to know some food items that i can carry for the toddler assuming that nothing will be available for 2 days.
I could come up with following items.
infant formula
bread
biscuit
Any other item that you can suggest will be of great help. Even if its cooked at home and can stay edible for 2 days , will be fine
Thanks a lot

You can also take some soft home-made chapatis.

I feel you can pack some items like upma/idlis/rice items for the first day and then second day you can use the chapatis.

For snacks - you can make chiwda out of regular breakfast cereals and take...my toddler daughter loves it

Also take bottled water, drinking water outside may affect kid's health.

Enjoy your trip...

honey cornflakes ( can be had just like that )
banana and other fruits that stay for few days
dried raisins ( my daughter just loves it .. and will pacify her when she gets cranky )
Boiled egg ( will stay for a day and very nourishing )
Groundnuts roasted and grinded along with jaggery and coconut made into a ball ( the balls will stay for a week )
