I have been thinking about pushing dinner back, but LO sleeps at 7:30 and it's hard to really push it back any farther. He eats a huge lunch so I do'nt worry too much. </p> Andrea on "If your lo doesn't eat much dinner, do you save and offer it later?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-eat-much-dinner-do-you-save-and-offer-it-later#post-398900 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:36:24 +0000 Andrea 398900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: guess that explains it! </p> chopsuey on "If your lo doesn't eat much dinner, do you save and offer it later?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-eat-much-dinner-do-you-save-and-offer-it-later#post-398886 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:30:46 +0000 chopsuey 398886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: later nap..

Nope, once dinner is over, it's over. We usually spend a lot of time on dinner because we want him to eat as much as possible. He's never woken up because he's hungry (if he has a small dinner he'll eat a huge breakfast to make up for it) but we're so afraid of sending him to bed hungry. </p> chopsuey on "If your lo doesn't eat much dinner, do you save and offer it later?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-eat-much-dinner-do-you-save-and-offer-it-later#post-398828 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:17:35 +0000 chopsuey 398828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: My LO used to sleep at 6:30..<br /> -.- I don't know what happened!!! </p> Andrea on "If your lo doesn't eat much dinner, do you save and offer it later?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-eat-much-dinner-do-you-save-and-offer-it-later#post-398827 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:16:58 +0000 Andrea 398827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, for example, last night DD had dinner at 5:30 and then was asleep by 6:30 so there's typically no time for a second dinner. </p> chopsuey on "If your lo doesn't eat much dinner, do you save and offer it later?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-eat-much-dinner-do-you-save-and-offer-it-later#post-398783 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:00:43 +0000 chopsuey 398783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night lo had dinner around 6pm. She only ate her butternut squash soup. </p> <p>She doesn't go to bed until 8, so after her bath I offered the rest of her dinner to her.. Pasta and fish--she scarfed it up.</p> <p>I don't want to force her to eat when she's not hungry, but don't want to make second dinners a habit. Maybe I should push dinner back a little? </p>
