Feeding 1 yr olds

[Busy ECE mommy]

I've given him a drink, but not extra food. At home he's fed something about every 70 minutes he's awake. His intake here is the same/more than the preschoolers. I don't think he needs feeding that often. It is disruptive, as food is served in the kitchen, and I'm trying to supervise the playroom with 4 other kids. I can't be 2 places at once.

Exactly why I would not do it. It is disruptive and you have a schedule/program to run! Good for you.
