at what times should a 1-year old eat?

Answer 1

Mine has the following meal schedule:
breakfast 7am
snack 9:30am
lunch 12pm
snack 2:30pm
dinner 5pm
snack 7:30pm
8:00pm bedtime

times are approximate and can go a little sooner or later. She eats very small meals and even smaller snacks. If she eats less than 25% of any meal, she gets 4oz Pediasure (which she LOVES) with the following snack per her doc's orders.
We had to schedule her bottles when she was a baby because of her severe acid reflux and her schedule carried over into her meals/snacks. she does very well with it. Never overly hungry, but enough food throughout the day to keep her energy up.

Answer 2

A one-year old should eat breakfast, lunch and dinner about four hours apart. So if he eats at 9:00, he should eat again at 1:00, then again at 5:00. Unfortunately it is difficult to maintain an exact schedule and that's okay, a half hour to an hour either way is not bad. Just make sure you give your one-year old his milk; pediatricians say they need at least 24 ounces a day. Milk is very necessary for growing babies and toddlers because it supports growth and development of bones and teeth and contains all the nutrients he/she may be lacking from foods. Good vitamin drops are also important. Don't get the kind with iron, though, because these days they put iron in almost everything babies eat and too much iron can be toxic.

Answer 3

There isn't any set times for a 1 yr old to eat, they are past the infancy stage. Trust me, your child will let you know when he/she is hungry. At this age and for some time to come, they may lose interest in eating. Ask your pediatrician exactly how many ounces of milk your child should have at this age. If you're giving too much milk your child will not want to eat. Some children are just picky eaters, I have two and my oldest is still picky. As long as they are getting some nutrition they will be okay. Maybe give your child Nutriment for children, at least you will know that your child is getting enough vitamins.

Answer 4

Well i always feed a one year old once they are awake and before they have a bottle. Then about noon or one some lunch. Then usually around 5 or 6 some dinner. If baby doesnt sleep good at night you might try a little cereal before bed.

Breakfast-8/8:30, Lunch-12/12:30, Dinner-5/5:30

That's what my pediatrician recommended for my daughter. He said basically every 4-5 hours.
