I'm looking for things to put in my son's lunchbox that don't require biting off pieces. My usual go to's are sandwiches, wraps, and occasionally mac n cheese in a thermos. I want to avoid anything liquid y in the thermos since he never puts the top back on properly and then it leaks.

TIA!

What can I do next?

My daughter went through this just before Christmas. Try some pasta or mac and cheese (thick so it doesn't leak). P B & J are soft to bite into. He will figure out how to eat different foods, just don’t put in anything too hard. You can also cut up his food so they are bite size.

Cut the sammies in strips if he can't bite into them.

Anything that needs a fork (pasta, cut up meat, salad, etc.)

You'd be surprised how well he'd do with a peanut butter banana sandwich.
He won't be biting into apples, carrots or corn on the cob for awhile but he'll be fine with most things.

Spring Pasta bake with steamed veggies purreed into the red sauce and meat of your choice if any

Frozen Gogurts! Popcorn
IF you can have peanut butter & jelly it is still a soft sammy that you can cut smaller if you want.
