Dinners

[NoRoomInBed]

Aibu to expect toddler (a young 2) to eat more than two pieces of chicken and a prawn cracker?
That will be it until breakfast.
When do they start to actually eat like an adult?

Does he get a beaker of milk at bedtime? Mine did until about age 3yrs.

No he doesn't like this will be it until breakfast maybe a drink of water. He eats well through the day just dinner he hardly touches unless its meatballs 😂

Does he eat better at 4 pm? My niece was terrible at dinners, she was getting to tired to eat around dinner time and needed to eat earlier. My SIL gave her a big healthy snack at 4 pm to take the pressure off of dinner. Something like carrots with hummus and a sandwich or yoghurt. Then at dinner she could eat whatever, or nothing.

We do main meal at lunch and lighter meal for tea (adults have dinner/supper later) , it suits DS better and mimics his nursery pattern

Agree - it's possibly too late for a little one. Mine used to have their main meal midday at that age, then tea at about 4.30, with milk or maybe something like cereal before bed.

Thanks for the advice guys I shall give it a try tomorrow
