Now that it's summer and LO can sleep in (we wake up early during the school year when I work), her bedtime has moved all the way back to 9. So we eat dinner around 7, it takes her AT LEAST 30 minutes to eat, sometimes more like 45 minutes, and then she's in bed by 8:30, and asleep by 9.

So we have a 1 to 1.25 hour gap between LO finishing dinner and bed. But she also doesn't really drink milk any more, so dinner is the last calories she eats.

Dinner is between 5-6 and bedtime is around 8.

It varies, between 1-2 hours.

For my almost two year old, dinner is around 6, sometimes 6:30 depending what we were doing during the afternoon and how late she had her after nap snack. Bedtime starts around 7:20, she's usually in bed by 7:45 (don't do bath every night).

She definitely does eat dinner better if she has a smaller or earlier snack, but I don't stress too much over it. Definitely no after dinner snack- frankly by the time she's done with dinner I do not feel like getting out and cleaning up yet another snack. Rarely I give her her milk again before brushing teeth if I know she didn't eat a lot.

Dinner is at 5 or 530 and bedtime is at 730

My LO is 20 months and she eats dinner between 6 & 7. It really depends on how active she was that day and how much of a lunch and/or afternoon snack she had. Some days she is just starving and I have to go ahead and feed her at 6 even if dinner isn't ready. Other days she can wait until closer to 7 and eat with us.

She goes to bed at 8. Usually she plays for 15-30 minutes after dinner and then it is time for her bedtime routine.

During the school year we eat supper at 6 , then a quick bath and dd (2) is in bed for 7. Up
the next morning at 7 to get ready for daycare.

Now that it's summer we are more relaxed... Supper can be anywhere between 6-8 and bedtime is between 7:30-9. She loves to sleep in so a later bedtime doesn't seem to throw her off.
