Over the weekend none, unless we have a very late lunch planned (like 2 or 2:30). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-snacks-does-your-lo-get-a-day#post-2026827 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 23:54:46 +0000 sarac 2026827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whatever. She eats well at meals, so I don't have a problem with what she eats in between. I focus on whole, homemade food for meals, and she mostly snacks on fruits and veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-snacks-does-your-lo-get-a-day#post-2026510 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:35:01 +0000 JerricaBenton 2026510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gosh maybe 5 lately? She's a peanut so if she says she's hungry she gets something to eat! Mostly pretty healthy; cheese, fruit, yogurt, cliff kids bars, smoothies. If we're out she'll get a cookie or whatever is around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-snacks-does-your-lo-get-a-day#post-2026469 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:20:32 +0000 yellowbird 2026469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-3 they're mostly healthy, but she usually wants several snacks right before dinner because dh gets home late. I try to distract her as much as possible </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-snacks-does-your-lo-get-a-day#post-2026447 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:04:06 +0000 Tanjowen 2026447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are on 2 snacks a day, and generally they are healthy, but I feel like we are stuck in a rut. It's been a banana with dabs of peanut butter, or homemade hummus with crackers for the past 2 weeks. I add in slices of pear and apple at times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-snacks-does-your-lo-get-a-day#post-2026443 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:02:06 +0000 fancyfunction 2026443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She gets 2 snacks a day. Usually cut-up fruit or if we're out, a squeeze pouch. Sometimes I'll give her some cheese or a treat like a homemade muffin instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-snacks-does-your-lo-get-a-day#post-2026418 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 19:44:37 +0000 regberadaisy 2026418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-3. We usually have a morning and afternoon snack. Sometimes she gets one after daycare too if she's hungry. It doesn't affect her dinner.</p> <p>They're a mix because when I say snack just mean not designated meal times. So sometimes it's a bagel with pb or pretzel sticks (I scrape the salt off) with pb, granola bar, mixed nuts, fruits. She typically asks for banana, apples, frozen blueberries or kind granola bars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-snacks-does-your-lo-get-a-day#post-2026410 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 19:42:49 +0000 Bao 2026410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another thing I'm terrible at, giving my toddler way too many snacks. She is constantly saying she is hungry! I wouldn't mind as much if they were healthy but half of the time they are not. Crackers, pretzels, dry cereal, drinkable yogurts, popcorn...</p> <p>I think I need to limit her snacks throughout the day so she eats a more balanced meal. How many snacks does your LO get a day? Are they pretty healthy or more "treat" type snacks? </p>
