I came to the realization this morning that LO may be eating breakfast a little late and dinner a touch early. We also have to deal with the fact that she gets up very early. I nurse after she gets up in the morning, but I think she might be getting up early because she is hungry (maybe I'm just trying to rationalize all these months of early wake-ups).
Anyway, when does your toddler eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Breakfast between 6 and 7 am (he's an early bird). Dinner can vary depending on the day, but it's mostly around 5:30 pm (with bedtime by 7 pm). Lunch and daytime snacks all vary day by day it seems.

My LO is younger than yours (14 months) but she's been getting up at 5 am starving, even after nursing. I've upped her protien & fats & she's been better at sleeping later. We eat dinner at 6 & she's in bed by 720.

He turned 2 in September and on weekdays he eats breakfast around 7:30 (day care), lunch at 12 (day care) and dinner around 6:30. He has a mid-morning snack and mid-afternoon snack as well.
On weekends it varies more depending on when he gets up and what we're doing during the day, but usually a little later.

Dinner around 5:30-6:00
Bottle before bed at 7:15

Breakfast and Dinner are out of necessity: 6 am for breakfast because we have to be out the door at 7. 5:30 for dinner because we get home from work a little after 5, and she's begging for bed by 6:30/7. Lunch is usually around 11:30/12:00
ETA: 22 months

Breakfast between 7-8. She doesn't like to eat when she first wakes up. So if she sleeps till 700/730 on the weekends, it is usually closer to 8 before she eats. During the week, I drop her off at 715ish and I set it out for her.
Lunch at 1130 (week) and around 12 on the weekends.
Dinner is usually around 6. Then she gets a cup of milk after dinner. We don't give with dinner or she won't eat.
She is in the crib between 7/730 and usually takes 30 mins to fall asleep.
she is 20 months

Wakes up around 7:30, breakfast at 8
Lunch either before or after his nap, depending on when he gets tired (like, if he's tired at 11, I'll give him a snack put him down, and feed him lunch when he wakes up. But if it's closer to noon and he's not asleep yet I'll feed him lunch first and a snack when he wakes up.)
Dinner between 6:30 and 7 (whenever DH gets home) and bed at 8.
Oh, and he'll be 18 months on the 13th.

Thanks, everyone. I think we are going to experiment with her eating schedule a bit.
