Nurse? Nurse?" all day. I think some of it is boredom, like what @Mamaof2: mentioned, because if we are out of the house doing something they do fine without snacking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-all-day#post-2531184 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 15:06:25 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2531184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually when DD1 is really tired or bored, she'll ask for more food than usual. But, if I feel like she's really hungry, I make sure I tell her she needs to eat something with protein, like milk, chicken, etc, before she can have something more carb heavy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-all-day#post-2531050 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:54:56 +0000 Mamaof2 2531050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: is she bored? My kids ask for food when they are bored - I usually try to find a new activity if they just recently had a snack </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-all-day#post-2531047 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:53:58 +0000 sorrycharlie 2531047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3.5 year old asks for snacks ALL. DAY. LONG. </p> <p>It makes me a little insane. I offer her things that are on the healthier side, or try to - goldfish sneak in there :) - but man. I feel like every few minutes I hear, "I'm hungrrrrry. I want a snaaaaack." Regardless of when she last ate. </p> <p>I did find doing a carb snack before bed helped her sleep better! She also outgrew all her pants this past week so there's that.. I need to sneak some more protein into her smoothies. </p> <p>Anyone else with a constant snacker? </p>
