Caitlin stopped having btls & therefore any milk at around 18-20 months ish. That was kinda her supper.

We usually dont eat dinner until 6/630 ish and straight after that she usually has 2 petis filous at 630/7. Occasionally when playing after dinner she may ask for an ice lolly or fruit & would get them, but supper isn't routinely offered. Bedtime is meant to be 830 but can be 930 some nights.

Id never really thought of supper before as we eat quite late, but recently we have been at my mums or MILs a few times and she has asked for a bun/ice cream and been told no its too late & then been given toast by them which she has happily munched.

Her sleep hasnt improved (so not like I was starving her before) but am just wondering if everyone else gave supper? Or if dinners later does it not matter so much?

I wouldn't be able to fit supper into Amelia's day as she takes sooooo long to eat! She generally doesn't finish tea til after 7pm! I think Lisa gives Izzy supper

we have just started giving supper recently, elijah finishes his tea between 5 and 6 then has a bath, reads a couple of books and has a bf at around 7 then into bed - he was really restless the past few weeks though and taking forever to get into bed so we offered him a bit of toast while he was reading his post-bath books, he nommed the whole slice up in the blink of an eye, drank half a cup of water, had a quick bf and fell fast asleep

he has been doing the same pretty much every night for a week (except one particularly toothy night) so just a bit of toast with a tiny smidge of butter seems to be helping him loads.

i don't think it matters much but apparently toddlers will only eat if they are hungry so if she will eat it all up i would be tempted to give it to her to keep her going?!

Ellie doest get her tea till 6 then it's bath, bottle and bed. But when she stops having milk I may well introduce supper.

As a child we always got supper and it was always toast but it was lovely x

Whats supper? like another meal after dinner? and whats tea then??
I probably sound really stupid now..

We have dinner at 6.30, then Immi might have a yoghurt after but normally just a bit of milk then bed at 7.30/8. I wouldn't consider giving her any more food even if she went to bed later.

She has three meals a day - breakfast at 9ish, lunch at 2ish (she wakes up late) then dinner at 6.30. Few snacks inbetween but no set time. I think she eats enough.

haha!

Breakfast is breakfast

Lunch is at 1pm

Evening meal I call either dinner or tea

Supper is a light snack before bedtime

right ok, i always thought supper was a weird fancy word for dinner

I just stick with 3meals a day.

our two have dinner and then a desert(A yogurt, biscuit etc) and are generally in bed within an hour or so of dinner

both of mine still have their bottle though..lewis just because it's still a habit and lily-ann because it's something she relies on...it HAS to be part of her routine or she freaks

Yes Lisa is right - Izzy has supper! She eats quite a lot lol

Breakfast 9am
Mid morning snack 11am
Lunch 1pm
Tea 5pm
Supper 7.30pm

She normally has cereal and always finishes all the milk - which is good! Although on evenings when I've made rice pudding she has that (cos I spoil her!) which again is good as got plenty of milk in it and I hardly put any sugar in

She actually won't sleep without it cos she just wakes an hour later and say her tummy is rumbling!

Chloe eats her dinner with us, so usually around 6 to 6.30, and still has milk before bed. Given the chance she would have supper too, I think she'd eat all day long if I let her! But she's usually in bed an hour or so after dinner so we don't give her anything else.

I fancy some toast now

lol Mandy - I always have supper too - just having rice pudding now ( i eat so much rice pudding lol, I love it, make a massive saucepan full!!)

I just went and made a toasted ham sandwich!

I swear im such a piggy atm, I had to restrain myself from squirting whippy cream into my mouth earlier when I opened fridge to get a drink!

What is wrong with that?!

Erm its unhygenic and a bit wrong? Do you do it? Actually maybe dont answer that as next time im in kitchen I may just try it as i'l feel you encouraged me!

Unhygienic how?! Just squirt it in, not suck the bugger! Quick rinse under the tap (which youd have to do anyway) and away you go!

I suppose when you put it like that its not unhygenic - my mum still would have spanked my arse for doing it as a child - feels naughty!

Oh yeh my mum would...still did it though, and no one can stop me now hahaha

We don't really do supper as such. We have tea about 5.30/6pm then he'll have an hours play then get ready for bed then his bottle of milk before bed so no time to fit supper in.
We were never brougt up with supper either and I can't say I really do supper myself. If I'm hungry I'll usually snack in the evening.

Also I don't see any problem sucking squirty cream straight in my mouth either

Alfie has brekkie by 8, dinner is normally 12 then he goes for a couple of hours sleep. tea is at 5 and then he sometimes gets a slice of toast before bed at about 6.30 if hes been to nursery as they get their tea early about 4.30. He still has his milk before bed too. Ive stopped giving him snacks during the day now as it was stopping him eating his meals. He loves his grub tho does Alfie. x

We dont have super so dont really give noah it. He will have his dinner at 5-5:30 then a bottle at 7:30 and bed.



Some sundays tho if we go to the inls we will have sunday dinner about 3 then supper at 6:30.



char

i always had supper as a kid, so something iv stuck to lol, although if they have a late tea then i dont bother maybe just a lil yoghurt or something, but if they have tea at say 5 then they will have a small bowl of cerial or toast befor bed x
