Last night lo had dinner around 6pm. She only ate her butternut squash soup.
She doesn't go to bed until 8, so after her bath I offered the rest of her dinner to her.. Pasta and fish--she scarfed it up.
I don't want to force her to eat when she's not hungry, but don't want to make second dinners a habit. Maybe I should push dinner back a little?

No, for example, last night DD had dinner at 5:30 and then was asleep by 6:30 so there's typically no time for a second dinner.

hehe. Nope, once dinner is over, it's over. We usually spend a lot of time on dinner because we want him to eat as much as possible. He's never woken up because he's hungry (if he has a small dinner he'll eat a huge breakfast to make up for it) but we're so afraid of sending him to bed hungry.

This happens to us too sometimes. I have been thinking about pushing dinner back, but LO sleeps at 7:30 and it's hard to really push it back any farther. He eats a huge lunch so I do'nt worry too much.
