Last night I busted out a yogurt pop to eat and knew it would end with me sharing with her. We ate at 5:30, gave her a bath, and she had a few bites before bed. But usually, no, because I want her to eat her dinner!

It's dinner, bath then bed! I do remember getting a bedtime snack when I slept over at my grandmothers house. It was usually toast, cereal or fruit....

Or every once in awhile she'll get a little treat - like one cookie or a piece of chocolate but that's pretty rare.

DD2 - no, she's good with dinner, she's my good eater so far *knock on wood* sorrycharlie on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118923 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 20:32:49 +0000 sorrycharlie 2118923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Once in awhile if dinner time went badly! I want her to sleep and she won't if she's hungry. But generally, it's dinner - bath - bed, or dinner - bed so not much time :) autumnlove on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118905 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 20:19:57 +0000 autumnlove 2118905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, dinner is the last meal!

He can have one snack of whatever is in the house before bed. M's bedtime snack is still breastmilk. :) yoursilverlining on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118888 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 20:00:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 2118888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, because I can see my LO leveraging that into another way to not eat dinner - if she knew she would get a more desirable item later. Plus, there isn't time.

But she does nurse before bed still so I feel like that tops her up if she didn't eat enough at dinner. hotchildinthecity on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118869 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:47:18 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2118869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not right now because we eat at 7, bath at 7:30ish, bedtime at 8.

Then we did some peanut butter toast or some banana and offered it with his milk before bedtime. jedeve on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118858 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:41:21 +0000 jedeve 2118858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, but we tend to eat late. I don't think there is anything wrong with it though! I always have one or I can't fall asleep. Jess1483 on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118854 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:37:10 +0000 Jess1483 2118854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. Dinner usually at 6 (but it takes him for.ev.er to eat it). Bedtime routine starts at 7:10. Sometimes he gets dessert, but that's not to fill him up, it's just if we're out or have people over. lawbee11 on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118853 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:36:14 +0000 lawbee11 2118853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. Dinner is at 6 and bedtime is at 7 so there's not really time for a snack. regberadaisy on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118849 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:32:57 +0000 regberadaisy 2118849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. Dinner is at 6 then bath at 7 and bedtime at 730. No time for a snack. On the off day that dinner is early maybe some fruits but that's it.

She doesn't really like food or snacks all that much right now. mediagirl on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118844 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:29:12 +0000 mediagirl 2118844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. Dinner is at 6:30, bedtime is 7:30 so, no time for a snack. sarac on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118838 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:24:38 +0000 sarac 2118838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We always do a bedtime snack, but we do an early dinner and a fairly late bedtime. The snack is usually fruit, which my daughter can pretty much eat in unlimited quantities anyway. MrsF on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118836 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:22:49 +0000 MrsF 2118836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Dinner is the last thing she eats before bed. It's only an hour from when we start dinner to when she's in bed though. I guess that will likely change as she gets older. Bao on "Does your LO get a snack before bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-get-a-snack-before-bed#post-2118832 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:18:57 +0000 Bao 2118832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Or is dinner the last food they get until breakfast the next day? I always grew up getting a bedtime snack so my older LO will typically get a snack sometime after dinner but before bed. It varies from an apple to popcorn, or sometimes something sweet like ice cream.
