do u give ur lo supper?
if u do what do u give them and how long before bedtime do they have it?

evans sleeping has been a nightmare again recently and im wondering if he is hungry, he has tea bout 5/5.30 then doesnt really have anything else til 7.30 when he has his bottle then he goes to bed at 8
im not wanting to give him to much cos dont want him full of energy and to stuffed to sleep
it may not be hunger but i cant think of anything else

No we don't, if she doesn't eat her dinner then she has to go to bed hungry (bad parents!!!), although for the last couple of months she has been having a cup of Nesquik before bed. xx

Yes, we give Bethany supper, it is usually, something like, porridge, crumpet, potato cake, fruit bread and we nornally give it about 6:45, when Iggle Piggle is nearly finished xx

i agree with this if evan doesnt eat his tea or dinner he doesnt get a treat but he usually scoffs everything i put down to him lol

mines get toast before bed. we always had it as kids, habit i think now!

i give callum dinner at 6ish its quite late compared to some thats proper dinner rather then at lunchtime i thoguht the latter they have it the better but appantley u should leave a 2hr gap between dinner n bedtime because can give them boost of eneergy and make it harder for them to sleep whether thats true or not x
i notice when callum has dinner after an hour or so hes hungary again thats after dinner n desert i just give him a biscuit xx

the kids have dinner at 5 and lily-ann has a little fromage frais before she goes up to bed, but that's cos we pop her meds in...some night they will both have a yogurt if they've not had a big dinner, but if it's a full big meal they go to bed with nothing else except the bedtime bottle of milk

I was going to ask this same question the other week. I wasn't really brought up with supper before bed.

We have our tea anytime between 5-6pm, but with Oliver playing up with his eating - not eating much, I have on occasion offered either weetabix/ready brek (only a tiny bit) before he goes for a wash etc or if he's eaten ok'ish I offer a rusk with his milk.

He's always been a good sleeper, until recently he was waking at 6/7am again starving hungry - so this supper does see him through a bit longer till 8 and even 9am
