I make leftovers for the fridge in large quantities so that I can just open the fridge and drag plates of food into their bedrooms/playrooms, give them the independent trait, and let them feed themselves, potty train and put themselves to bed. The koala night lamp helps with nightmares so that they sleep all night too.
I usually give Sims the Fresh Chef trait (even if I don't put them in the Culinary career to earn it) so they can make food that doesn't spoil, then I'll bake bread or bagels and leave those in the nursery for the toddlers to grab when they get hungry.
