So we cut down on snacks a lot and he eats much better now. The snacks turned him into a picky eater because he wasn't hungry at lunch/dinner. So he would just pick at his food (and he was the the piiiiiickiest eater ever). Ever since we cut/stopped the snacking, he actually eats almost everything on his plate.</p> <p>I think it depends on the child. But for my son, snacking didn't. work. If he's hungry in between meals, we might give him a little bit of fruit or some nuts. But he's just not a snacker type. We just make sure his 3 meals a day are nutritious and healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-lo-snacks-during-the-day#post-1003571 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:05:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1003571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: the French don't do snacks.

I was worried about ruining her appetite also but I couldn't figure out why she was fussy in between meals then I offered snacks (cheerios, fruit, cheese, etc) and she is much happier! And still eats great at most meals! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-lo-snacks-during-the-day#post-1002416 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 22:00:23 +0000 chopsuey 1002416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep.

Does nursing count as a snack? ;) I usually just nurse him during the typical snack times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-lo-snacks-during-the-day#post-1001717 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:57:12 +0000 teamjse 1001717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup 2 snacks usually some fruit or some baked Happy Baby munchies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-lo-snacks-during-the-day#post-1001711 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:56:00 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1001711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am the odd (wo)man out. R is 13 months and I don't give snacks. Sometimes when I am preparing supper I will give her a little bit of what I am using ie. cheese. Or if she is being really cranky around 4:30 (eat at 5ish). No wonder she eats so much at mealtimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-lo-snacks-during-the-day#post-1001699 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:54:06 +0000 Weagle 1001699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She gets one or two. Morning and after her nap. It depends on how well she eats breakfast... Usually not that well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-lo-snacks-during-the-day#post-1001643 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:43:56 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1001643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same exact schedule as @locavore_mama.

He'd be a hellion if I didn't. His largest meal of the day is breakfast (usually a piece - a full banana or peach, etc - of fruit, two pieces of turkey sausage, and an egg) then he has a morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner on top of nursing 3 to 5 times a day. DS is 16 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-lo-snacks-during-the-day#post-1001170 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:39:16 +0000 tysonja 1001170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he's 14 months and yes, we have been giving him a snack before his morning nap, and one before his afternoon nap :). Usually a big handful of cut up fruit and maybe a rice cake or something like that. and water.</p> <p>Sometimes he gets mum mums/rice cakes/etc when we are out and about! :) </p>
