I'd give fruit, so that she wouldn't be starving, but she wouldn't be full. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stop-bad-habits#post-2063045 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 16:50:18 +0000 turkeylurkey 2063045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: This is what happens to us to. I just have gotten to where I don't force him eating dinner. He will usually eat again later in the evening. I figure it will work out over time where he isn't needing a snack at 4:45 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stop-bad-habits#post-2063028 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 16:42:25 +0000 mediagirl 2063028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. This is so tough. I think we're going to try to cut back to just an applesauce pouch for now. It's just so hard when she says "I'm hungry!" But I know waiting is good for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stop-bad-habits#post-2063020 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 16:38:16 +0000 Espion 2063020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare gives a snack (basically the rest of their lunch) at 4:30. Result: E is almost never hungry for dinner. We basically count that as dinner, because he almost never eats his lunch at lunchtime. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stop-bad-habits#post-2062991 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 16:24:45 +0000 looch 2062991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gosh, this is a tough one for me, because if my son is legit hungry, I have to make sure he eats at that moment otherwise he will lose his appetite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stop-bad-habits#post-2062981 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 16:15:52 +0000 BeachMama 2062981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no advice because we are in the same boat. Except I pick her up around 6 and we eat around 7/7:30. Our drive home from daycare is about 30 minutes and I know if we stopped the snacks I'd have to listen to her whine and cry the whole way home, which I just can't handle right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stop-bad-habits#post-2062980 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 16:15:17 +0000 erinpye 2062980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd just give a smaller snack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stop-bad-habits#post-2062962 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 16:06:05 +0000 mediagirl 2062962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: it's tough because pickup and after school is on my husband right now. I don't know if he can handle cold turkey!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stop-bad-habits#post-2062194 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 10:04:12 +0000 mrsjyw 2062194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cold turkey! We had this issue too after swim class! And even short car rides. We just stopped cold turkey. We have milk for him if he really needs something, after the first couple times, he hasn't asked for it and "reads" in the carseat now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stop-bad-habits#post-2062180 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:57:22 +0000 mediagirl 2062180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started a bad habit when our lo started at this new daycare of giving her snacks on the car ride home. She is always hungry after school (it seems). She gets home at 4:45 and we eat dinner at 5:45/6. After eating the snacks, she isn't all that hungry for dinner (naturally). So, suggestions on how to stop the snacking habit? </p>
