BWLO: Last meal/bedtime snack
When is the last time your LO eats before bed?
Do they get a bedtime snack, bottle, nurse, cup of milk?
How long do they go between the last thing they have and waking up for breakfast?
Re: BWLO: Last meal/bedtime snack
When is the last time your LO eats before bed? My girls get 7oz bottles at 6pm and then go to bed after.
Do they get a bedtime snack, bottle, nurse, cup of milk?They sometimes eat dinner around 5pm, but usually they just get the bottle.
How long do they go between the last thing they have and waking up for breakfast? They don't eat again until 7am when they get oatmeal, fruit, and a bottle.Cut the Crap - Weight loss journey of a Few Fat Chicks
We have bad sleeping habits instilled in Alex and haven't broken them yet. Her last food is at 7, if she is asking for anything. After 7 she can have up to two sippies of milk before she falls asleep (usually around 9). If she's not out with that, we have just this week started telling her she can only have water. She is used to drinking herself to sleep. I know, horrid habit, but it is what it is, and we're trying to ween out the milk and replace it with water, very gradually. In the next few weeks I'm hoping to have only one sippy of milk before it's water only. She hates water, so it's difficult.
Forgot to add the morning. Alex is a bear when she wakes up. She'll yell for milk and that's all she wants. Milk, all of her comfy bed stuff on the couch and some kid show on TV to wake up to. She wakes up around 5-6, so she's going 8-9 hours without anything. She doesn't ask for food for breakfast until she's been up for a bit, so closer to 12 hours between food intakes.

Evie goes to bed between 6 and 7:30.
She eats dinner between 5 and 6 depending on how tired / hungry she is from day care (since she has been in the new room, dinner is at 5 and bed time is 6:30, trying ot push them back but the dinner is not moving).
She will nurse around 6:30, then go down to bed right after.
she wakes up usually around 6. then we nurse again. I bring her downstairs for a 'snack' of a few cheerios or something while I load up the car and finish getting everything ready. Drop her off at day care a little before 7 where she has a yogurt.

We've *been* eating dinner around 6- sometimes he eats decent and sometimes he just picks at it. Then giving him a bowl of oatmeal mixed with fruit around 8 and in bed by 8:30.
He's starting to not eat much of the oatmeal but then he's waking up in the middle of the night (hungry?) So, I guess I'm trying to see if that's normal- if he should be hungry- or if I should try a different bedtime snack, or what.
Seems like so far your kids are just awesome and they don't need to eat for 12 hours+, lol.

He does not get a snack or drink right before bed, no matter how early we ate dinner.
Approx. 12-13 hours. The minute he wakes up the kids scarfs down a banana.
Eats dinner at 6-6:30, nurses (pretty short) at 7:00, then bed.
Doesn't get breakfast until about 7:30 a.m.

Um, hardly. Remember all those issues we have with Alex and sleeping, her/our bad habits, etc. She would wake up in the middle of the night asking for a bottle (she was still taking a bottle when she was N's age). We'd give her one. We did this for a loooong time. Then it finally hit me, she wasn't hungry, she just wanted what she wanted because she was used to getting it. It took a lot of doing, but we eventually broke her of that habit. She still wakes up in the night, a few times generally, and asks for a drink. She's old enough now where we can finally say "not until morning", and she accepts that, grudgingly.

True. I'm pretty sure we have the same kid. Here's hoping the next ones for both of us are easier

When is the last time your LO eats before bed? She's offered 8oz of milk (usually takes 6-8oz of it) at 7:00. She is in bed around 7:30.
Do they get a bedtime snack, bottle, nurse, cup of milk? Nope, just her milk - which is her last milk of the day. (after she wakes up, before nap, before bed)
How long do they go between the last thing they have and waking up for breakfast? around 11-12 hours or so.Kellen eats dinner between 7 and 8. He normally gets a cup of milk right before bed and is in bed by 9:30-10. He sleeps normally until about 8 or 9 and only wants a cup of milk first thing while he "wakes" up. He normally doesn't eat anything until about an hour later for breakfast.
Tessa eats her dinner of either baby food or what we are eating (if it's something she can eat) around the same time we eat between 7 and 8. She gets her last bottle around 9 and is always in bed by 9:30. She normally sleeps through the entire night until about 8 and then gets another bottle. About an a hour later she will get oatmeal and fruit.
The "twin brothers from different mothers" strike again - as soon as Jack wakes up in the morning he yells "Cup cup!! And nana!"
Jack eats dinner anywhere from 5-7. Might have a cup of milk before bed, but not usually. Goes to bed at 8. Wakes up anywhere from 6-730 and like I said, drinks a cup of milk and eats a banana the minute he wakes up.
Landon eats dinner around 5:30-6 (stage 2 veggie, rice, and water in sippy cup) then has his bedtime bottle (6 oz) at 7:15 or so after his bath. He eats between 5:30 and 6:15am... depends on him sleeping/me getting ready for work.
So, he goes 11 hours on average.
FWIW, he is always hungry around 8-8:30 at school, so he gets his breakfast about 2 hours after the morning bottle.

Yea, as soon as the banana is forced down his throat he yells, "Moooooooooo" - which is Zac code for Milk.
ETA: No joke, yesterday he had 2 bananas and a cup of milk, went to the babysitter and apparently ate 2 more bananas. 4 bananas in one morning!
