Just curious - If your toddler is in daycare, what are the set meal times? Do you follow the same timeline when you are at home?
(I think we could benefit from a little more structure in our lives!)

Daycare runs on morning snack around 9:30, lunch around 11:45, afternoon snack around 3. For those kids that stay pretty close to closing time (6:30pm) a second afternoon snack is served at 5:30.
We tend to skip morning snack when at home but it means bumping lunch up closer to 11:15. Other than that we are decently close to the same schedule.

Breakfast at 8:30
Lunch at 11:30
Snack at 2:30
Then they do another snack around 5 if you haven't picked up yet
We usually get home around 5 and LO eats dinner at 5:30ish. (We eat our dinner after she goes to bed).
On the weekends we have waaaayyyy less structure. She kind of grazes all day and then eats a big dinner with us.

Snack 230/300 depends on when everyone is up from nap, so usually 230

Similar to everyone else....
LO has breakfast when she gets there around 8:30
Lunch at 11:30
Snack at 2:30
Second snack at around 5
She eats dinner at 6 when we get home. Weekends are a free for all because we're always doing things and out and about. I try to make sure she is offered a snack every few hours.

@cmomma17: our daycare has similar meal times, but we didn't follow them at home until he was consistent with napping (he was on one nap at school, but wavered at home until around 14-15 months). Often he'd eat at 7:00 (breakfast) & 9:00 (am snack), but lunch happened either before or after nap depending on the day. Which impacted whether he did a pm snack. Mostly dinner for him was 5:45 (now it's 6-6:15).
Now that he's a few months older (19 months), our weekend mealtimesmatch the school's much more closely.

Breakfast at home around 7:30
Snack 9:30
Lunch noon
Snack 3:00
I pick him up around 3:30 and sometimes give him a small snack around 4.
Dinner is anywhere between 6:30-7:30.
On the weekends we don't stick to any schedule. We are usually up much later and everything gets pushed back. We are also out and about a lot.
