I have a 15 month old too! I have read that  she is supposed to eat about a 1/4 of what an adult size portion would be..She gets breakfast, am snack, lunch, pm snack and dinner..However, somtimes she eats great and other times just a little

All our girls from about 1 have been eating the same as my partner and I.  We just make sure it is cut up finer.  We also let our 14 month old feed herself, as we have done with all of our kids, and find that meal times are less stressed because of this.  She doesn't have to wait for a mouthful.

3 meals a day plus morning and afternoon tea is what all our girls get.  Portion size for our age range of kids (5 down to 1) is pretty much the same, though I'm sure the baby eats more than her sisters.

At 15mths all of my kids were eating what we ate. I would still chop their food into smaller peices but they would sit down at the table and eat every time the rest of the family would eat. This way I knew they were getting the right nutrition.

my boy is 1year old and he eats pretty much what we eat, we just cut it up finer for him so it is easier to eat.  Finger food is also good.

 We eat an early dinner (5.45 - 6pm) and what we are going to eat I just dish out a bit for him as well.   Anything for breakfast will do I give weetbix and fruit and toast.  

I personally think that at 15 mths your baby should be having pretty much what you are eating.  Maybe a morning and night bottle or BF.  Just make sure that what you are giving is healthy.

some vegies and meat blended/mushed up well for dinner or there are precanned food with age listed on them in your local food shop. for lunch try some fruit such as bananas or some fruit jelly cups, and oats or toast are good for breakfast 3 meals a day is sufficient as long as they are getting 2 or 3 bottle feeds or brest feeds aswell. and snacs are ok if there small in portion and perfurably healthy.
