Question
What should I do if my child wants snacks instead of meals?
Little Lunches Expert Answer
This situation is common, but the best response depends on timing, appetite, pressure, and what your child already accepts. Set planned eating times, avoid all-day grazing, and offer snacks with protein or fiber so meals are not replaced. Tell me what your child usually eats and I can help.
This depends on...
Your child's developmental milestones
Medical history and any special considerations
Current feeding method (breast milk or formula)
Family history of allergies
