What time does your lo eat ?
Currently my dd has breakfast when we get up which is around 6.30am when i'm working or 7.30-8.30 when i'm not. She has lunch around midday, sometimes 11.30 if she's hungry and dinner usually between 4pm & 4.30pm.
I give her the meals at that time as its the same as nursery and gives her dinner time to digest before bed. However i'm finding preparing dinner for 4pm a bit of a pain, especially if I do us all the same as it means me and hubby having to warm ours up later. I'd rather do dinner for 5pm-5.30pm, does that seem too late ??

We had a similar problem. If LO isnt at nursery we usually feed him at 5ish. We dont eat with him though, as im never hungry at that time. We did to begin with but i was finding i got hungry again around 8ish and then putting on weight!!
We now feed LO at his dinner time and eat together once he's gone to bed. We dont usually have the same, as we try to give him a warm lunch, which means he has sandwiches/crumpets for tea.
When he gets older we do plan to feed him slightly later....say around half 5 ish and the maybe eat with him, but we'll see what happens xx
I worry about putting her to bed on a full tummy but it doesn't seem to bother her.xx
DD is nearly 7 months and eats any time between 5 and 6.30, depending on when she sleeps, but she's not really eating the same as us yet (although she has a lot of our meals blitzed for the next day).
Ds has breakfast about 8.30, snack 10.30, lunch 12-1 (if it's 12 it's to fit in with dd rather than because he's hungry), snack 3.30-4, dinner at 6.
If I were you I'd introduce a healthy snack in the afternoon and do her dinner a bit later.
