It seems like my LO is hungrier at night before bedtime. Does anyone give their Lo's bedtime snacks other than formula? I fed my LO 8 oz of formula before bed and afterward he kept grabbing the empty bottle wanting more. So I went to the kitchen to see if maybe he was actually hungry for food, and he ate a bunch of cheerios, some banana and yogurt. I wonder if it's a growth spurt, or maybe Im feeding him dinner too early. I usually give him a small snack around 3:30 or 4, then dinner at 5. Bedtime is usually around 8 pm. What time are your LO's eating dinner?

Liam doesn't like to go more than three or so hours without food during the day so maybe by the time you're putting him to bed he's getting hungry again

Brendan gets a snack between 3 and 4, dinner around 6, and a 6oz bottle at bedtime which is usually around 7.
Maybe try feeding him dinner a little bit later and see if that helps?

Ross wants to eat and snack pretty much constantly! Ross usually eats what we are having for diner, he usually eats 75% or more of what i give him, but since hes table food im not really sure how much that is, we just let him eat until he starts playing with his food

That's a good idea, I am going to try feeding him a big snack around 4 and dinner around 6. Last night I fed him dinner around 4:30 because we had plans to visit my cousin afterward. We had dinner at my cousin's around 7 and he ate a huge meal again so he had 2 dinners last night!
