I do nurse her in the am and pm though, similar to you. I offer her a snack after her nap and she almost never eats it, or maybe 1 bite and isn't interested. I figure she'll eat if she's hungry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyones-toddler-just-eat-3-meals-no-snacks#post-2254204 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:46:06 +0000 Orchid 2254204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @Mamaof2: true. Though I don't think there's a whole lot of milk in there, but it must be enough for him!

Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyones-toddler-just-eat-3-meals-no-snacks#post-2254187 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:40:45 +0000 Jess1483 2254187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son rarely eats snacks at 2.5. He gets one at preschool in the morning, but not at home. If he snacks, he doesn't eat meals, so I don't usually offer. If he is hungry, I do a small fruit snack. It helps immensely with meals, which tend to be healthier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyones-toddler-just-eat-3-meals-no-snacks#post-2254186 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:40:33 +0000 littlejoy 2254186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kiddo barely eats. I'm convinced she's just solar powered (hence, needing no sleep either). I think the breastmilk is giving your LO the snacks ... you'll know if he needs more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyones-toddler-just-eat-3-meals-no-snacks#post-2254183 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:40:16 +0000 Mamaof2 2254183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Orchid: I would imagine if you stopped nursing him he would want a snack - essentially he is eating 3 meals and 3 snacks (nursing) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyones-toddler-just-eat-3-meals-no-snacks#post-2254181 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:39:03 +0000 BandDmommy 2254181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is a grazer. He likes eating breakfast and lunch but has no interest in dinner. I feed him when he tells me he's hungry. I don't force him to eat if he's not interested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyones-toddler-just-eat-3-meals-no-snacks#post-2254180 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:38:55 +0000 coopsmama 2254180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, that's my kids. They rarely have snacks if I do a good job getting protein and healthy fats into them at meal times. If they eat only fruit or carbs they tend to need snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyones-toddler-just-eat-3-meals-no-snacks#post-2254178 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:38:25 +0000 blackbird 2254178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like he's drinking his snacks?....I know if we let E have milk, she doesn't eat food </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyones-toddler-just-eat-3-meals-no-snacks#post-2254171 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:35:27 +0000 Orchid 2254171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO just eats three meals and his dinner is pretty light. He still nurses 3 times (first thing I'm am, before nap, before bed). I marvel when I hear how other toddlers are eating 3 big meals AND two snacks. If I let my LO eat snacks he wouldn't be interested in mealtime. Anyone has a similar feeding situation?? </p>
