Do you give snacks before bed?

My twins are 13months. They are usually great eaters. They eat dinner around 5pm and go to bed around 7:30 or 8. Do they need a snack before bed? My older son always ate dinner later so we didn't have this issue or I don't remember. Mommy brain!!!

Mine eat around 5pm and then go to bed around 7pm. Typically, they do not get a snack before bedtime. BUT, if they ask, I will give them some milk. And that happens rarely.

 

K&K have always gotten a yogurt if they would like one.

 

We eat dinner at 6:30 and they go to bed at 8. Usually they don't get a snack. The exception of course is when they refuse to eat any dinner and then we give them something before bed, but this happens rarely.

 

We eat at 5:30 and bedtime when they were younger was around 8, so we continued the bedtime bottle (in a sippy) until they were potty training.

 

We do baths, etc. shortly after dinner and that includes brushing the teeth. So, mine get nothing before bed unless they want a drink of water.

I always give my two a snack before bed. Usually warm/cold milk, and plain cookie, or crackers or dry cheerios something small. We usually have dinner at 5pm, then bed 7.30.

ditto. Unless we have a late dinner, which happens occasionaly.

 

Dinner at 530, then a bath, then milk and vanilla wafers bedore bedtime betwen 730-8pm. This has been our ritual since we got rid of bedtime bottles around 1 year.

 

Similarly, ours have dinner at around 6 PM, then a bath, and then get a little piece of cookie (the love DH's Pepperidge Farm soft baked cookies -- "white cookie!") after they have their pajamas on, about 45 minutes before bed with some milk.

 

We have dinner at 6:15 or so (as soon as I can get it together after work/daycare), then straight to PJs and bed. They're in bed max 45 minutes after dinner, so there's no need for a snack. But if they were eating more than an hour before bed, I'd give them a snack (Amy at leaste -- since she wakes up hungry at 4-5 a.m.!).

 

We always do a cup of milk before bed (and before brushing teeth). The boys have be come very picky at dinner, so we'll give them yogurt if they're hungrey before bedtime. But we do dinner between 4:30-5 and betime is 7.
