BLW and mealtime question

Allibob

I'm ordering the BLW book, but in the meantime I'm curious about one thing. DD goes to bed at 6:30 now, and we eat dinner after she goes to bed. I realized the other day that she rarely sees us eat, because I usually eat breakfast or grab a quick snack while she's napping. It seems like a big part of BLW is including them in family meals with their portion of what you're eating. It wouldn't work to move dinner earlier, because DH doesn't get home until 6:30-7 or later. He works 12+ hours 6 days a week, so most of the time it's just the two of us. How would you set up mealtimes? Should I just have breakfast/lunch with her and do BLW then?

I'm not doing BLW but we have the same problem. I hope by the time she is ready to eat table food that we will be on a better schedule but there's no way I can prepare any kind of meal before she goes to bed. We get home around 5:45 and start her bedtime routine around 6:15.

Hmm, could you maybe just have a little of what she's eating as a snack so that it's still a social experience and she gets to see you eat?

this.  and I'd definitely try to include her in some meals before starting solids
