ideas for a 2 year old bed time snack

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Most nights my 2 year old does not eat enough or just has a high metabolism and in the middle of the night he will want to nurse and is very cranky and uncomfortable. He will get so wound up that he starts shaking. I think he may be having low blood sugar. Maybe he's going through a growth spurt. But either way, I am finding that giving him a good, nourishing snack before bed really helps. Any ideas of some good snacks for a 2 year old before bed.

Does he like yogurt? Some plain yogurt with maybe a drizzle or raw honey or maple syrup is a great high-protein snack. My boys also like cheese a lot. That might be good too.

My DS ate yogurt in the middle of the night literally every night from maybe 2 yrs to 3 yrs. I sometimes took a small dish to bed because he'd wake up saying "yo go, yogo"

Yogurt or a small piece of sprouted grain toast with nut or seed butter.

We always do plain yogurt too. We often mix in some applesauce or mashed banana and cinnamon, or even chopped berries. It's the one food that DS has never tired of! He is 21 mo now.
