What can we order for kids under 2 not on Dp

[Irishgrl]

My husband and I have the DDP and are brining our 2 year old with us. I know he can eat for free off our plate with the Dp but, what kind of things can I order for him. Also, Does any one know if you can just get a side of pasta at most restaurants? He's not a big eater so ordering a kids meal at ever meal would be a waste. Trying to figure out the best way to feed him. Any tips you have would be appreciated..

If the restaurant is a fixed price restaurant then he'll get to eat for free. At buffets you just get him a plate and feed him. At restaurants that are fixed price like CRT they'll bring him a plate of food (at CRT I hear it's buttered noodles).

At restaurants where you order off a menu and pay for the exact items you order, you have the option to just feed him off your plate. If you want to order him a side dish you should be able to do that though you will be charged for that side. Most places also have a dish of fruit as a dessert option (even if it's not on the menu) so you can ask for that though again you will be charged for it OOP unless you choose to use one of your dessert options to cover the fruit. Typically, the meals are pretty good size and if he doesn't even eat enough to make a kids meal worthwhile then he should be fine eating off of your plates.

We took our two year old with us last time and there was plenty of food between my husband and I to feed that we never had to order her anything extra. At most places they gladly fixed a drink of coke or milk without any charge so that she didn't have to share our cup. We never asked they just offered. Plus with the snacks during the day she was kept pretty full sometimes even sleeping through a meal.
