Does anyone offer a snack?

A bit divided whether I should offer a snack. And if yes then when do you normally do it? The reason being is my girl is sooo hungry by 5.30pm that making it to 5.30pm so the whole family can eat together is a bit of a struggle for this last half an hour

I’ve given snacks when I know we will be late for lunch.

What do you usually offer?

@Maria I was out post nap in IKEA twice recently and I knew we’d be a while so I took things like chopped up grapes / carrot wafers / cut up 🍓 Just to occupy her a little really.

If I'm eating a meal slightly later than her or half way between lunch and dinner as she gets hungry then I'll give her a snack like a yogurt, melty puffs, fruit or rice cakes

I'll give her a snack if she hungry and I'm still cooking dinner. This could be a small bit of fruit, melt puffs, wafer

We do breakfast at 7, snack at 10:30/11 after nap, lunch 12:30, snack at 3, dinner at 4:30/5, bottle at 7. She refuses bottles first thing in the morning and through the day, so we had to replace with snacks on advice from the HV. I usually offer fruit, yoghurt, rice cakes etc x

Only if lunch is going to be late I'll do a quick snack around 11am to keep him going particularly needed on swimming days. Sometimes if dinner is taking a while and not going to be ready by 5pm I'll give him something to nibble while I cook normally fruit or melty sticks

If I’m eating something that he can’t have but he wants a bit then I give him a lil rice cake or melty stick or something so he doesn’t feel left out 😅 but that’s it really

I normally give her a snack around half 4 when I'm cooking dinner. Half to keep her occupied and half as a snack. Sometimes she eats all of it, sometimes she picks. We all eat at 6 so it doesn't impact roo much on her eating dinner. I used to give her a snack after her bottle at 11, but she stopped really eating it after the novelty wore off so I stopped.

I offer a snack at 3:30pm when she wakes from her nap. Usually some fruit and some bread sticks.

My LO has a snack after her morning nap around 10.30 am and sometimes around 4pm as she gets hangry even though she has a bottle at 3pm x
