DD hungry in the middle of the night

My DD has never been a great eater - but that's a whole other story.

Last Thurs, she was whining in the middle of the night.  I went and ended up sleeping in her bed from 3-5am, and she whined and thrashed the whole time.  Finally I was frustrated and woke her up and asked her what was wrong.  She said "hungry!!"  I gave her a squeezable applesauce, and she was out like a light.

Same thing happened last night - whined from about 2:30-4:30 and finally asked me for goldfish.

What is going on?  I've never ever had this happen before with either child.  Is she going through some crazy growth spurt?  I even gave her a snack 15 minutes before she went to bed last night.

    Growth spurt.  My kids do this on occasion, they also eat more during the day during this time then they do in an average week.  For Bri, I put an insulated sippy cup of milk with ice in the fridge and give it to her if she wakes.  Since it happens only occasionally, I don't worry about its effect on her teeth.  For Tyler, we put a whole wheat bagel in a baggy just outside his room and take it in if he wakes with a cup of water.

    Ya, I'm sure she is just growing. I would offer something a little more filling though before bed or make sure she is getting some good protein and fats in her dinner. I know you guys can't have peanut butter in the house bc that on crackers or apples would be something I would do as a snack. Maybe scrambled eggs, yogurt, or a cheese stick as a snack?
