Lunch/Tea/Dinner

When do you give your lo their "main meal"? DS has his at lunch time and then just has snacky foods for tea (rice cakes/crisps etc). He eats really well at breakfast and normally at lunch but I'm wondering if he should be having his "dinner" in the evening ???



Thanks

    Hayden has a snack at lunch (sandwich, crisps, fishfingers spaghetti, that kind of thing -not all at once!) then warm dinner for dinner, 95% of time what we are eating. we did it this way as i liked to know he had a full tummy at night so that he wouldn't get hungry through night when we were weaning off night time feeds.

    Beth has her main meal at lunch. Mainly because she is a fussy eater so if she doesn't eat well at lunchtime there's still another meal in the day to try to get some decent nutrition in. I decide what she's having in the evening based on how well she ate at lunch. So if she had no veg at lunch I'll give her a pasta sauce with blended veg in. If she has eaten ok then I'll just give her something simple like a sandwich for dinner.

    I feel happier with her having stuff like pasta and bread before bed - fill her up with the carbs!

    Plus I don't often have time in the evenings so prepare a proper meal as I don't get in from work until about 4.45.

    We too have our main meal in the eveningimage again its so i know she goes to bed with a full bellyimage also she fusses at lunchtime ( will only eat a sandwich in her buggy???) and so i find she eats a good breakfast, a good healthy snack around 11 then lunch just after 12.30.

    Hope that helps!! Xx

    We have our main meal in the evening so I know she's nice & full for bedtime. At nursery both meals are about the same size so always looks like she's eaten heaps!



    She's not a big eater at lunch anyway as she's usually tired & ready for her nap.
