He is a terrible eater so when we tried to transition him from purées to food it didn't go well so we found ourselves constantly trying to get him to eat food and offering and I now realize he has turned into a snacker because of this! </p> <p>Oh well hopefully we can redeem ourselves with our second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1725254 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 19:40:11 +0000 kml636 1725254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO wants to snack ALLL day too. She eats well at meals but I try to limit it to three snacks a day. She screams and cries and has a fit constantly even with three a day though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724414 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:54:32 +0000 hilsy85 1724414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it didn't affect his mealtimes, and he was eating a large/nutritious meal and then was just still hungry in between, then yes I would let him snack. </p> <p>As it is, I try to limit snacks, but I can't eliminate them because he tends to not eat enough at meals, and then gets hungry in between--but refuses to eat more at mealtime. I'm not going to let him be hungry or cranky, but I try not to let him snack if we're an hour or less away from a meal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724413 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:54:29 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1724413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as she still eats her meals, and she's not eating junk, then I let her eat snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724407 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:53:07 +0000 immabeetoo 1724407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we are the same as @RubyCali: unless it is a special occasion </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724315 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:27:20 +0000 RubyCali 1724315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we do 3 set meals and a late afternoon snack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724296 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:20:27 +0000 mrsjyw 1724296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, for the most part we let him whenever he wants. He has set meal times and eats well at all three... usually has a big snack after bfast and after lunch... if he wants a lil fruit or cheerios in between that, we let him have it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724292 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:19:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 1724292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it normally doesn't affect her meal time, and I try to give healthy options of fruit, veggies, ect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724286 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:18:23 +0000 travellingbee 1724286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: I don't think he really started snacking until after he weaned. Come to think of it, it's probably just been in the last two months. Especially now that he can open doors. It doesn't seem to be affecting his meals but it's probably not the most healthy things. He usually wants those Gerber crunchies, or pretzels, or animal crackers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724266 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:13:47 +0000 delight 1724266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When are you supposed to start snacks?! At 10 months we just do 3 meals a day, she still BF before and after her 2 naps. If we go out on a walk or to the mall she usually has a cookie or mum mum, but otherwise we don't do snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724262 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:13:13 +0000 Beehive 1724262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we try to focus on set meals. He will sometimes have a snack as a treat, but between meals he usually just has milk (and water). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724257 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:12:04 +0000 KT326 1724257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to only because it does affect his meals. He gets a morning and afternoon snack at daycare so I just follow the same schedule on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724248 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:08:45 +0000 regberadaisy 1724248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it doesn't affect her meals so I let her. I try to follow the same snack schedule as daycare. But when she's home she probably snacks more frequently.</p> <p>ETA : *I* can't go between meals without eating something so I don't expect her to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724243 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:07:05 +0000 .twist. 1724243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so interested in this! I think L could snack all day long, but right now we do planned meals and snacks. He's a little too young to do any independent grazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-toddler-snack-all-day#post-1724236 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:04:52 +0000 travellingbee 1724236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 15-month-old likes to graze all day long. He constantly is going into the pantry and taking things out. He also eats really well at meals. If your little one wants to snack do you let them? Or do you limit them to specific times? </p>
