I have a 12 month old and I am looking for bedtime snack ideas for her. Currently we do oatmeal, graham crackers and cheerios (all served with milk). Anyone have any other ideas?

Healthy snacks - cheerios without the milk, ritz crackers (small ones with cheese or peanut butter inside), be careful of raisins they rot teeth and if you give them make sure it is a good tooth brushing when you are done. Applesauce, rice cereal with applesauce, digestive cookies such as Farley's (in the baby section) which are great for teething too. Just a reminder that snacks should be light before bed don't want items that are too hard to digest while sleeping. Try to stay away from unnaturally sweetened items before bed, helps to make settling easier.
Hope this helps and enjoy your little wonder they don't stay that way for long!

Quite honestly, I think you have quite a good variety of different snacks. All little ones usually go through a "picky" stage at one point or another. Just don't give into it! Very nicely tell him this is what we are having for snack today, and let him decide if he wants it or not. If not, calmly tell him he won't be getting any other snack until the next meal. Our oldest was soooo picky as a toddler, but once I started doing that, she has become quite the eater and although she is still the pickiest of the 3, she knows that whatever is being served , it is her choice to eat it or not, but that she will have to wait until the next meal if she chooses not to!

Banana slices are great for 12 monthers, and so is yogurt. Tapioca pudding or vanilla pudding are pretty good, but I think chocolate at this age isn't the best plan. Too much caffeine. Oatmeal is such a great food at night for them - glad to see you using it. Sticks to their little tummies and they sleep longer, don't you think? Rice and barley based cereals are also good but oatmeal is the best.

Honestly, My little sister is 12 months. Her favorite snack is cheerios, raisins, and butter sandwhiches. it sounds lame and simple but, they love it. Give it a try.

Do what I did. Let him or her eat cheerios as a finger food without milk. My kids loved it!

Cheerios are good. Also what about teething cookies from Gerber.

Twelve month olds can eat turkey, which contains triptophan that makes you sleepy.
