9 Tips and Ideas for Planning a Baby Shower Menu
When planning a baby shower, you can be as creative as you like with the food ideas, but it’s also important to consider some practical aspects.
As the host, you’ll have a lot to take care of, including decorating the venue, so it’s good to plan food that is quick to make and easy to serve and eat.
Here are some tips to help you think about the types of food to choose, how to serve it, and more:
Savory Baby Shower Food Ideas
Whether you plan on having only finger foods or an entire menu at the baby shower, here are some ideas for the savory food:
Baby Shower Dessert Table Food Ideas
Besides having a baby shower cake as a centerpiece, you may want to have a dessert table with an assortment of other sweet offerings. Here are some ideas for crowd-pleasing sweets and desserts:
Drinks
Beyond serving the usual wine spritzer or sparkling wine at the baby shower, consider some alcohol-free drinks, like mocktails, punch, and homemade sodas:
The Bottom Line
You’ll no doubt have lots of fun planning and serving the food for the mom-to-be’s baby shower.
If you’ve decided to prepare most of the food, round up some of the mom-to-be’s friends and family to help. Make it easier on yourself by using some store-bought elements, too. You could also make some of what’s on offer but ask each guest to bring a small plate to share.
Set up food and dessert tables so that guests can serve themselves buffet style, and stick to foods that aren’t too messy to eat while standing up and mingling.
If you have a set theme, you can tie the food into the theme by using colored frosting, or by piping lettering onto foods like “Oh, Baby!” Cookie cutters are your friend! Cut everything from brownies to sandwiches into shapes that match the theme. You can also connect the food and drinks to the theme based on the colors you choose for the straws, napkins, and cupcake liners.
Having a chocolate fondue fountain or a soda bar can create an interactive element that guests will love.
Have fun with it! Your options are endless, and you might find you really get into it once you get started. And, always remember, no matter what food and drinks you serve, your guests — especially the guest of honor — will really appreciate your efforts and thoughtfulness.

Snack in baby food - Encyclopedia Baby food
General
Levchuk Victoria© Snack in baby foodSnack in baby food must be present. After all, a child, unlike an adult, cannot withstand more than 2 hours without eating. Moreover, they have a faster metabolism, and more energy is spent, which is why it is so important to fill the child's nutritional needs in time.
Intermediate meals during the day, along with breakfast, are perhaps the most important meal in a child's diet. Research shows that organizing snacks at home can help you avoid unnecessary calories and saturated fat, sugar, and salt. When we talk about a healthy diet for a child, this means that all the meals of the day are put in order, even those that come in between main meals.
As for the quality of a healthy snack, it should include basic ingredients such as carbohydrates and proteins, as well as trace elements such as calcium, which will provide the necessary energy for the child and at the same time contribute to his good development.
Examples of healthy snacks in baby food:
- 1 milkshake with semi-fat milk (up to 2% fat) and fresh fruit, whipped in a blender and with 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 toast or 1 boiled cheese pie turkey and 1 fruit
- 1 fruit salad with honey and 1 yogurt (2%)
- 1 glass of milk with cereal bar and honey
- 1 muffin
brings the desired results, it is helpful to provide a few more tempting solutions for the child, but cook them at home from healthy foods. Cooked homemade cookies or cake from familiar ingredients can be given to the baby two or three times a week. If your child likes croissants or chocolate chip cookies, then you can allow him to eat them as a snack once a week, but be sure to add something healthy to his favorite treats, such as fruit or milk.
For now, it is important to note that most parents find it easier to buy snacks in the store than to prepare them themselves. But it is necessary to consider what we invest in the future health of our child. Therefore, if time is limited, then it is worth considering simple snacks, like a whole fruit or a cereal bar. In kindergartens, a snack usually consists of fruits, children get an apple or an orange for breakfast, etc. This is a good snack, although I would definitely add cereal bars or cookies to an apple, as this fruit provokes a desire to have a snack after 20 minutes.
It is also important to properly organize the time of the whole family. If it is not possible to prepare good homemade snacks for school for a child in the morning, then this issue must be resolved in the evening.
