Depending on how much lunch you want LO1 to eat at school, you could make it more of a meal or just healthy snack options to hold her over.</p> <p>My girls were on weird schedules last year, but kind of the reverse of you...DD1 got done with school at 12 (no lunch), and I picked up DD2 right after at 1215 but she was in a toddler class where most ate at 1130ish. If I didn't send something with DD2, they would end up stuffing her full of crackers or other cheap carb and then she wouldn't eat at home anyways. So I would send a "lunch" with DD2 for her to eat with her class, but it was mostly fruits and veggies that she could pick at for healthy options. Then once we got home at 1230ish, I'd make lunch for both of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-provides-lunch-for-lo-but#post-2617905 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 12:29:20 +0000 gingerbebe 2617905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I'd do lunch for LO2 at 11:00am and have LO1 sit down and have a snack at that time, which will be almost 2 hours until she has her lunch at 12:45pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-provides-lunch-for-lo-but#post-2617864 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:49:55 +0000 yin 2617864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would keep your usual eating schedule and just provide a light snack for LO1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-provides-lunch-for-lo-but#post-2617694 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 09:02:17 +0000 Bao 2617694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I know! We usually eat lunch around 11-11:30, so it will be a huge adjustment for us all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-provides-lunch-for-lo-but#post-2617621 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 08:02:15 +0000 Mamaof2 2617621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12:45 seems awfully late for lunch!</p> <p>I would give your older DD a snack while your younger one eats lunch </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-provides-lunch-for-lo-but#post-2617309 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 08:00:00 +0000 Bao 2617309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do I work that out to feed my 2 year old? </p> <p>My 4 year old will be eating lunch at school at 12:45pm. I am trying to think of the logistics of getting LO2 her lunch, would I just feed her before we bring LO1 to school and just not have my preschooler eat with her/us? We won't get back home until 1ish and that's too late for me to make lunch, have LO2 eat and get her down for a nap. </p>
