I eat right away, (especially now that I'm pregnant!!) and DH almost never eats breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221604 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 11:18:21 +0000 getjazzy 2221604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 100% like my husband. He can eat right away where as I need quite a while to get hungry and I'm often a skip breakfast kind of person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221601 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 11:16:22 +0000 littleblessings 2221601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually am not hungry right away.<br /> DD is same as me. DS could eat a horse the second he wakes up. Lol. I feed them kind of on demand. She tells me when she is hungry. If I try to give her food any other time she won't eat it. I always offer her some when I make something </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221585 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 10:57:35 +0000 PurplePeony 2221585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD usually has a small snack within about 30 minutes of waking up but wants a big breakfast an hour or so after that. She's 19 months so who knows what will happen as she gets older. Once I was middle-school-age, I couldn't eat first thing in the morning -- it makes me nauseous. I need a good 1.5-2 hours before I can eat anything substantial. Now, I eat at work but when I was in school it usually meant skipping breakfast or eating a granola bar between classes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221548 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 10:25:39 +0000 looch 2221548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: At my son's preschool, snack is set up and the kids can go and fix themselves something whenever they are hungry. It works nicely this way, as opposed to having a set time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221545 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 10:24:23 +0000 sarac 2221545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, and it's a problem because she really cannot go until lunch, but she needs time. I'm not really sure how she'll cope when she's not in preschool and can't snack whenever she wants in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221519 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 10:07:40 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2221519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so curious to see what happens with DS once he's a little older. I am ravenous when I wake up, but DH often doesn't eat until lunch. Glad to see there is a nice variety on this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221437 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 09:20:07 +0000 ValentineMommy 2221437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the day. Some days he wakes up and immediately wants milk and breakfast, other days its a struggle. It appears to have nothing to do with how much/well he ate the day before either or how late. It seems to be random for us, but he's only 2.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221400 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 08:55:03 +0000 rachiecakes 2221400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the day for DS.<br /> I don't like food at all in the morning. I'm a morning person, I get up early wide awake and ready to go, but the idea of eating is such a turn off. I crave coffee though and always have a tall glass of water with lemon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221381 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 08:40:12 +0000 Finfan 2221381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is this way and so am I. The hardest time for me was high school since we had to be there so early and lunch was not until 1:30. We did get a breakfast break after first hour (about 9:45, I think) but it was only 10 minutes between classes!! I would try to forced down a waffle in the morning before school and would bring a muffin or something in my backpack. Now I just bring a Carnation instant breakfast or smoothie in to work with me. Then I'll have a snack about 10:30 and lunch at 12 or 1. </p> <p>LO gets breakfast at daycare. They eat about 8 so she will have been up about 90 minutes by then. She does still eat a huge lunch though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221377 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 08:34:57 +0000 Truth Bombs 2221377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not hungry right away either and never have been. My only worry would be if she's getting hungry before lunch time and is distracted at school because of it. If my daughter doesn't want to eat we can usually get at least a yogurt smoothie in her to tide her over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221374 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 08:34:06 +0000 looch 2221374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my son does. If he wakes at 5:45, he won't eat breakfast until around 8.</p> <p>As a child, I wasn't into breakfast, but now I can't get to lunch without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221363 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 08:30:43 +0000 youboots 2221363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was me as a child and now. I prefer to eat hours after I get up. Usually I will shovel down a kind bar during my AM pump because I know I need to. Before I was pregnant I rarely ate before 10am- that goes back as far as I remember. My parents said the only thing I could stomach was raw oats in cold milk- I still like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221359 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 08:28:13 +0000 Mamaof2 2221359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes - then again it takes me time as well!</p> <p>Not the healthiest option but DS will gladly drink a Carnation Instant Breakfast so he gets that pretty much every day as breakfast and DD either doesn't eat or has a few bites of cereal.</p> <p>I have been packing larger lunches because of this and they eat it all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-taking-time-to-get-hungry-in-the-morning#post-2221355 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 08:26:08 +0000 mrbee 2221355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids vary on how long it takes them to get hungry after they wake up. My son gets decently hungry when he wakes up, but his sister doesn't really like to eat breakfast at all. </p> <p>We've tried so many things, but she's just not into eating for a few hours after she wakes up. Then she gets hungry and will eat a biggish lunch. Can't decide if a light/non-existent breakfast is a problem, or if it's just her natural inclination and we should just go with it.</p> <p>Do your kids take time to get hungry in the morning? </p>
