For Moms with Kids on "table food"...

How often do you give snacks? (not junk-food, but nutritious snacks) I wonder if I am offering them enough.

Also, if you have any great snack ideas that your kids like, pass them along..Chat Icon

Thanks!

At school, they get a mid morning snack & an afternoon snack

Could be anything from raisins, cheese & crackers, apple wedges & cheese, applesauce...i could go on & on or if you want I can just get the menu in my car & post Chat Icon

During the weekends, they have one snack about 3pm. That's because one of them eats minimum 3 breakfasts and the other eats dinner like she'll never eat again.

For awhile he was getting two snacks a day but now he sleeps later so less hours to fill so we are down to one big snack time. Usually around 4/5ish (we eat dinner at 7:30ish).

typical snacks include cheese and crackers, applesauce, yogurt, yogurt smoothie drinks, goldfish, wagon wheels, fruit (he isn't big on fruit unless it is baby food), cookies, rice cakes, etc. Sometimes fruit - he has been know to beg for green beans for a snack.

During the day, I give him so cheerios/dry cereal, puffs, sugar wafers, pretzels, cheese doodles and things like that in between meals if he seems hungry and I want to hold him off or I use them as tools to help change his diaper since he resists that so much!
