Mom of a 3 yr 9 m old boy2 years ago

Q.

Hi, My 17month old son usually has his dinner by 8 and sleeps by 9:30. Some days he keeps playing and sleeps by 11.i wanted to know if the gap after dinner exceeds 2 hrs, do I need to feed something again. He is breastfeeding and gets up to feed if hungry but my in laws were telling me that a child's stomach gets empty after 2 hrs so I need to give some sort of snack to him if he eats by 8 and is awake till 10 or beyond.

A. Keep giving your 17-month-old three balanced meals and two healthy snacks per day. Toddlers' portion sizes are about one-quarter of an adult's. For example, a serving of ground meat is only two tablespoons, a serving of pasta is four tablespoons, and a serving of fruit is ⅛ cup, and for veggies it's about 1 tablespoon.

Q. Hi, my daughter sleeps at around 1:30 every night and sleeps till next day afternoon( wakes up in between for milk). We usually give her dinner late night by 11:30, so that she don't feel hungry during sleep. We had tried giving her dinner early hoping she would sleep soon, but since small she sleeps very late. So, is it ok to feed dinner late at night or should I change her food schedule ?
