advice for feeding schedule?

fanofanne · January 2014

so i'm looking for some advice as to what to do with my twins' feeding schedule, please. we just stopped giving the nighttime bottle, but now i think their dinnertime and bedtime are too far apart . here's what we do now:

5:30-6:00 wake up

7:00 breakfast

9:30 ish snack

11:30-12:00 ish lunch

2:30 ish snack

4:30-5:00 ish dinner

6:30-7:00 bedtime

do i give them a snack before bedtime? do i give them two snacks before dinner and move it later? thanks in advance!

My kids eat dinner between 5- 530 and go to bed between 8- 830. We usually offer a small snack around 7pm. They don't always have one though. We offer plenty of water at that time and no milk. They seem to do okay.

okay thanks! we've only done this for two days, and so far all has been good, so then maybe things will stay good? hopefully!

Your schedule looks good. We do a snack about 30 minutes before bed. Sometimes she eats it and sometimes not.

This. We do a snack at 7:15 p, bed at 8 p.

We eat between 5-5:30 and he is in bed at 7 with no snack. I think it looks fine the way you have it.

Our schedule is very similar to yours for the first half of the day. We do snack closer to 3 (after nap), and dinner and between 5-5:30, then bed by 7pm with no snack needed.
