snack help!!

I know each baby is individual but I wondered what others do about snacks.

Chloe has started wanting her lunch earlier and earlier, she started it at 11:30 today, so I guess I need to indroduce a morning snack, but when?

She only has a proper meal at lunch time and I dont want to jeapodise that....

she has 7:30am bottle
8:30am breakfast (lots!)
lunch used to be noon
3pm bottle and biscuit
5pm some fruit and organix finger food

I'm guessing 10:30 would be a good time for something, maybe a yogurt or something....just wondered what others do really

10-11am is great. Yogurt, Fruit, Raisins, Cheese Slices, umm those ready made snacks they sell in shops..

I'd say 10/10:30 as well. Loads of options, yogurt, fresh fruit, cheese...

Byron has breakfast about 7.30-8am and lunch about 12-12.30. We just give milk about 10am, time depending on when he sleeps in the morning. We tend to give a snack in the afternoon which is usually yogurt (we just give natural) or even just buttered bread. Banana makes a good snack. If you cut it in half still in the skin it the other hald keeps well i the fridge, just chop the end off.

10/10.30 sounds good thats when Dec would have a snack, things like yoghurt, raisins, tub of custard, those little cheese dip snacks, a pancake, toast fingers of maybe a little crumpet.

Raisins and dried fruit are not recommended as snacks as they have a concentrated sugar content, you can give them after meals but I got a telling off by the dentist and have read this same info numerous times since.

Better options are rice cakes, breadsticks, toast, fresh fruit, cheese cut into cubes or sticks, carrot/pepper/cucumber sticks, small sandwiches
