Hungry after nursery - what are you giving?

My LO eats really well at nursery and has tea at 4pm. But she seems really hungry when she comes home around 5:30 - at the moment I am giving her yogurt/fruit when she comes home and then milk an hour later between bath and bedtime (she goes to bed early between 6:30-7). Curious about what you are feeding your little one after nursery?

Ours do lunch at 11.30 and then snack at 3.30, then a wee biscuit just before pick up so I need to give mine a full dinner, shes always starving, sometimes we do a small porridge for supper and then milk. If I were you I would do yoghurt with mashed banana and peanut butter, and a small supper like porridge or a pancake/toast and then milk. Could you do supper when she usually has milk, and then milk before bed instead?

@CeeCee do you mean giving her milk twice on evenings?

Our little one has a hot dinner at 12:00 then tea at 4pm - usually sandwiches and fruit. We get home from pick up at around 5:45pm, at 6/6:15pm I give him cheesy scrambled eggs or porridge, and then a yogurt. Then he goes to bed at 7pm. Hasn’t had a bedtime bottle since even before nursery x

No sorry I wrote milk twice by mistake lol oops, edited

Mine has an extra dinner when he gets home, normally the same as what we’re having!

My LG has a full dinner at 6-6.30

My daughter will have toast, oat bar or fruit before her night bottle x

I still give a dinner, even though he has a big meal at lunch and usually tea at 4.30 that’s cheese and pitta, soup and roll. It’ll either be what we’re having anyway, or half a little dish plus fruit or if really in a jam, I’ll make him porridge!

I do a dinner but do wonder if he’s overeating on his nursery days. He definitely enjoys his dinner still 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ours have a snack at 10:30, lunch at 12/12:30 and then dinner at 3:30/4ish. I tend to just give a little snack when we get home as I pick her up at 5pm, home by 5:30pm and then she goes to bed at 7pm x

Ours have lunch at 11.30 and tea at 3.30 but most times my boy comes home hungry. I had a look and nursery portions are quite small. I'll give him dinner at 5.45/6ish.. it can be pasta or whatever we're having.. sometimes it's chia puddings. He also has milk just before bed (7ish).

So today my boy ate all his food at nursery. Then he had mince and tatties with veg, mango, 1/2 a squidgie yoghurt pouch and a babybel. Shortly after he had 200mks milk. Boy must have been hungry today.

I work in a nursery and the portion sizes aren’t big and the tea is more of a snack to tie them over before they have dinner at home. I would definitely recommend still giving some dinner in the evening x
