How many snacks do you feed your LO?

I feel like we are giving Harrison way too many Puffs, Cheerios, Crunchers, Kix, Yogurt Melts, etc. He LOVES them all though.

We usually give him at least 20 after each meal (breakfast, lunch & dinner) and then he gets some cheerios while I"m making dinner (to keep him occupied).

Is there a more healthy alternative?

    Dylan only gets lunch and dinner blw weaning style. Most of the time he hardly gets snacks unless I am snacking and he will not leave me alone for some food. Then he gets a few puffs or cheerios. I have noticed if I put some in a plastic bowl and let him play on the floor with it that it takes him longer to eat but it's good practice for him to pick them up out of something.

    I try and keep cooked sweet potato wedges in the fridge as a snack to hold him over between meals.

    None, like pp he gets breakfast and dinner BLW style.  I usually eat lunch while he is napping because if I don't he has to have some.  But then I just give him whatever I am eating.  If he does get a snack it is usually some banana or pear, he's not a huge fan of cheerios.

    DS gets snacks when we're out and about and I need to entertain him while we're waiting for DD at ballet class, for example.

    Occasionally he'll get some in his high chair if I'm making lunch or dinner or whatever.

    DS gets Cheerios for breakfast maybe 2 or 3 days a week, and maybe yogurt melts 2x a week as an after lunch or dinner snack.  That's about it though.  Otherwise he nurses or eats meals with us.

    We haven't started doing snacks yet, she gets lunch and dinner BLW style.  I do refrigerate leftovers which I'll probably use as snacks down the road (sweet potato fries, tofu sticks, egg yokes, etc).  She really likes rice cakes, I usually put hummus on them as part of her meal.
