Lunch & Snack Times

[Lee-Bee]

My kids are all 12-16months and all do 2 naps a day. I do morning snack at 8:15. They nap from 9-10. I do lunch at 11:15. I do a mini snack at 12:45 before their 1pm-3pm nap and then a snack at 3:15 shortly after waking. My kids have huge appetites and I find having them go from 11:15-3:15 is really hard on them.

I expect they will start to transition to 1 nap and that will likely be an early nap starting at 11:30 so I keep my lunch early now in preparation for that.

I found waiting until after we bring my daughter home from school was too long for the smaller kids, so I have started either feeding them snack before we leave to pick her up (3ish) or, packing snacks they can eat on the way, including one for my daughter to eat as we walk home. That way, when we get back it's free play until parents come!
