What to do

Question

So my son eats his breakfast and lunch just fine but at dinner time he doesn't want to eat and idk what to do I don't want him to be hungry he gets very little snacks and has breakfast at 10 am, lunch at 12pm and dinner at 7pm he gets 3 a day bottles till he turns one next week

Answer

My son is worn out by this point in the day. Some nights he eats a lot and others he doesn’t want anything. If he’s not hungry, I don’t force it. I buy fruit and nut bars and will give him one of those with his regular snack of an apple before bed like we normally do just so his belly is a little more full when he doesn’t want dinner. I think a big part of it is how tired he is.

Answer

I let my 1 year old tell me when she wants to eat. We don’t really have regular mealtimes because our days are busy. Sometimes she asks for food three or four times, but often she only eats two huge meals (this kid eats more than I do), and then a snack or something between. If she wants more I give her more. I also breastfeed her several times through the day. Maybe just let him decide? She doesn’t like eating later at night, it seems to upset her stomach...maybe try feeding him around 4-5:30? And maybe spread out his breakfast anytime in the morning he says he’s hungry? He’s still getting some nutrition from his bottles too, so even if he doesn’t eat later he’ll probably be ok 😘 I’m sure he’d let you know if he needed more food!
