Does anyone else’s toddler have lunch after nap?

We have this and I’ve kinda just rolled with it. I offer a snack before his nap, a light lunch after his nap and then do dinner 1.5-2 hours before bed. I figure I can’t force him to eat if he’s not hungry and he already has breakfast pretty much as soon as he wakes up so it’s not like I could bring that earlier x

My boy has a snack before his nap and then when he wakes up (around 2) he has his lunch, a small snack then dinner around 5:30 x

Hey! So we do this also, and always have since she changed to one nap. We do the following;

Milk around 30-45 mins after she wakes (usually around 6.30-7.30) but she has water prior to this.

Breakfast at 9am

Fruit snack, some melty sticks etc. and a biscuit of some description around 10.30

Nap at 11.30

Wake up anywhere between 12.45-1.30 then lunch as soon as she’s awake.

Then dinner between 4.30-5.00

We don’t give an afternoon snack as she never asks and I assume it’s because her lunch and dinner are quite close together. I have thought about changing lunch to before her nap but it will be too early for her so we are sticking with what works for now 🙂

Hope that might help x

we do this too 😊 just kind of fell into it when we transitioned to one nap. We do milk at 7-7.30, breakfast at 8.30, snack at 10.45ish, lunch at 1.30 when he wakes and dinner around 5 😊 suits us perfect! xx

Yeah I make sure he's had a good snack before his nap and then he has lunch when he wakes between 1.30&2ish

We had this issue too, so we just pushed his breakfast earlier and make sure he has a substantial snack between lunch and dinner. He has breakfast at 7.30am and lunch is at 11.30/11.45am with nap being around 12pm. His dinner is at 4.30pm c

Our lunch is different times everyday depending on when she wakes what we are doing. If she naps around 11/11:30 then lunch is when she wakes, if she wakes in the morning later and nap isn’t until closer to 12 we do lunch at around 11:30 with no morning snack x

We do breakfast about 8ish, snack at 10:30, nap 11:30 - 1 and then lunch about 1:30 and dinner at 5:30. We don’t do afternoon snacks as she never seems to want one!
