Lunch time brunch time?

What time do you give your 6-12Mo lunch? DS has to eat at 11.30 as he can't stay awake any longer but it means there's a long time for DDs where my attention is on DS and it's a bit of a pain while out. I guess he could eat after a nap but I'm kind of hoping that nap might stretch out eventually and move later.

So any top tips? And how do you BLW do it if they are eating your food?

I don't BLW, but my DD who is 10 months, has her lunch at around midday. Her morning nap is at 9, so if she wakes at 9.40, or 10 midday is fine, then she goes straight down for another nap. But if her morning nap is long (this morning she woke at 11!) I didn't give her lunch till 12.45, then she slept from 1.20 to 2.40.

between 11.30 and midday. but he has a long morning nap and a shorter late afternoon nap so no tiredness issue.

Hmm. Ds is a real cat napped so only sleeps 9 to 930. I'm assuming he'll last longer as he gets older so think I should stick with current timing but on the other hand he does eat better if he has napped first.
