Does your older baby snack?

Question

Emma does occassionally, but I think she is getting to the age where she wants an afternoon snack. So, does your baby snack and if so on what?

Answer 1

oh my gosh, yes, ruby is a total snacker -- it is her personality. she has breakfast, a midmorning pre-morning nap snack, a lunch, a post afternoon-nap snack, and TWO dinners: one at 4:30 ish and one at 6ish. while i intended to give her the two snacks, the double dinner thing just evolved as that is how she is. she is hungry at 4:30, eats lightly, and then is hungry again at 6ish. keep in mind she is in the 7th %ile for weight, so i would have fed her however, whenever. regardless, this schedule evolved as she directed it. and, besides, ai am a huge proponent of the small, frequent meal approach -- i am a grazer myself -- and am glad that she gravitiated to this healthy approach on her own.

oh - i forgot the "on what" part. lots: grapes cut into quarters; string cheese; organic bite size cheese crackers; chunks of canteloupe; pirate's booty/veggie booty puffs; chopped tomatoes; soy "bologna" (we are vegetarian); even small plates of her "meal" food

Answer 3

We should ALL snack. It is healthier for our bodies when our blood sugar is kept at a constant. We have breakfast, lunch and supper as well as 2 snacks.

Today they had whole wheat crackers with cheddar cheese and grapes for snack.

Answer 4

My daughter is 13 months old and she eats yogurt, Graduate cereal puffs, graduate fruit snacks, applesauce, cheerios, bread, crackers. I like to switch it up on her so she doesn't get tired of just the same thing. Anything that would be easy for her to eat as she only has 2 teeth. She usually eats what my husband and I have for lunch and dinner.  

Answer 5

Hannah is 18 months and eats lots of snacks or *mini meals*  She is not a big breakfast eater, so she will eat a little bit at breakfast, then a mid-morning snack, lunch, nap, afternoon snack sometimes 2 depending on her hunger and when dinner is, dinner, and sometimes a before bed snack.

Her snacks are normally healthy...whole wheat crackers, cheese, fruit, veggies, yogurt.  She will have cheerios, goldfish crackers and graham crackers also.

She has her own snack cup (the semi spill proof ones) sometimes when she is hungry, she will find the cup and bring it to me saying nak nak!

Answer 6

My son is 16 months old and snacks 2-3 times a day.  He eats breakfast and some times will snack between breakfast and lunch, depending on when he goes down for a nap.  Usually he eats lunch after his nap, will have a snack, and then go down for another nap.  After that it's time for another snack and then dinner when Dad gets home from work.

Snacks are really varied.  Depending on what we're eating during the day he'll snack on fruit (berries, bananas, raisins, some times other fruit), left overs from the night before, a peanut butter sandwich, cheese sticks, and sometimes even mixed veggies if he hasn't eaten veggies well the day before.  

If we're going out and he'll snack we take easy to travel snacks.  For a long time he was content with graham crackers and dried fruit.  Now he shuns graham crackers, but he will eat an entire bag of dried fruit if I let him.  I also take fruit to gos which are little containers of diced fruit, cheese sticks, crackers, fruit leather, and nutragrain bars.  

Answer 7

Yep.  It's actually in the daycare's routine that they have two snacks while he's there.  One mid-mornings and one in the afternoons.  

In the mornings, he usually just has some cheerios and bite size pieces of fruit (apples or peaches, usually) as a snack.  In the afternoons, it's whatever I bring for him, usually either some cheese and crackers or the Gerber Yogurt Melts (he loves those things).

I also give him a snack in the evenings because things are so hectic at my house that dinner hasn't been coming until after 7.  So in the evenings, I'll usually give him some of those Teddy Graham cookies (crackers?? lol) and some juice.  He loves those.

Landon is 11 months old and he snacks twice a day. He will get a nilla wafer or a graham cracker with banana.
