Meals and snacking

iloveclayton

What do you think is an appropriate amount of time between breakfast and snack and lunch and snack. My little ones eat breakfast and the 20 minutes later want a snack. Its starting to get out of control. It seems like they just snack all day and then eat hardly any of their meals. They do eat healthy snack, not  a bunch of junk, but I feel like Im constantly feeding them. They are 21 months and Im dont want them to go hungry so Im worried about making them wait to long.

Thanks for any advice.

What are they eating for breakfast? Maybe try giving them a bigger/more filling breakfast.  More protein and fiber.

But, to answer your question, I usually give a snack around 10 if they ask and between 3 and 4.  We eat dinner closer to 6/6:30 most nights.

Thats basically what I was thinking, thanks.
