[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't do snacks either. Just do real food and more of it. Like more cheese in her scrambled eggs, baked sweet potato wedges with butter or oil, peanut butter with apples, butter on most vegetables. We aren't militant, but I don't like snacking and we just have dessert on holidays or Friday/Sat night. [/quote]

NP I think for young children there is nothing wrong with snacks as long as they are healthy.  My kids also ate goldfish and yet today do not eat goldfish as adults.

PP here. I'm sure it's different for every kid, but mine were eating snacks and then not eating dinner. And we thought dinner was really important for our family: teaching good manner, our food traditions and of course the food is healthier. On weekends we did start a "tapas lunch", so lunch feels more like one big snack. It's normally tiny bits of dinner leftovers with lots of different cut up veggies, hard boiled eggs and nuts.

To the OP- we had to cut down on milk to get our daughter's weight up. She was drinking milk and filling up. I think it coats your stomach and makes you not feel as full. We stopped offering it at meals and she eats more food now. She still likes to relax after dinner with milk though. [/quote]
OP here - hmm interesting. DD loves milk. I sometimes offer it only after food so she doesn't fill up as much on it when I am concerned about constipation.[/quote]
