[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure what may work, it’s happening more often. Dinner is different each night and the kids do get to pick a dessert if they are hungry to follow. He has a snack after school, dinner, dessert then bath/bed. (Activities are mainly weekends but the routine of waking still happens.) It started with him occasionally waking at around 11:45p/12a during the winter and I did start to allow him a quick snack and I’m not sure if this got his body adjusted to eating again in the night but he is full after dinner which I pushed back to 7pm. But hungry again in the middle of the night. My husband thinks it’s better to not eat in the middle of the night even if he is hungry as he does eat breakfast before school at around 7am. He’s about 93lbs and always ranged around/above 99th percentile for height. Do you allow snacking late into the night? Does it create a bad habit over time? [/quote]
