Dinner at 7

Someone told me that dinner at 7 was too late for my toddler as in if it will make a difference if they eat. Does that sound strange?? I shared sometimes my toddler gets up from nap at 5pm. So I would wait the time so she is hungry. After she has anything I wait till see if she poops or until she does take her bath and put her to bed. Our schedule has been pushed back due to routine changes that have left me exhausted and waking up 9ish. Before hand we’d be up 8 the latest. Which we will be making our way back next week because I return to work.

You cannot listen to other people trying to raise your child… I’ve learned that the hard way. I feed my daughter when she notifies me that she’s hungry. Sometimes that’s 5 PM sometimes that’s 1 AM. Because she’s almost 3. She has a very limited pallet. And I’m her mom so in the end, it’s my say so🤪 raise your babies how you see fit🥰

I wake my kids up at 10-1030am every day so we don’t go to bed until 1130pm. My daughter often eats dinner at 9pm 😬 we do what works for us

@Naomi people have this idea kids have to do this ideal schedule of like 7am wake up and 8pm bed time. But if there is no school what’s the big deal. Still same amount of food and sleep. Adjustments could always be made when needed.

I do what works best for us forget what other ppl say..I do try to keep a "routine" (get up breakfast teeth dressed , dinner shower read bed) but life in general has changes so times are not important to me. Some days bedtime is 730 bc we skipped naps sometimes 11pm. I think switching things up makes it easier for them to handle change in the long run.

@Drew that’s how it is for me too Sometimes bedtime is 8:30-9:30 sometimes closer to 11pm. I don’t think it’s a big deal, especially if they’re still getting enough sleep 11-13 hours.

I hate unsolicited advice. Do what works for you.
