What's your best snack for midnight growth spurt?
What's your best snack for the diaper bag/ car?

Just wondering what others are offering for their toddlers. My dd is 18months.

My answers 1. yogurt 2. cheerios, goldfish, fignewtons, rice cakes

1) for midnight growth spurt, it's been breastmilk.
2) cheerios, goldfish, fig newtons, raisins, graham crackers, Sometimes Teddy Grahams. He likes my Wheat Thins so we could do those.

Yeah, breastmilk is the stand by. But dd has had the stomach flu 2xs this month and afterwards she even needs to eat in the middle of the night. She's a skinny little thing to begin w/. So I try to find something easy to digest but high in calories.

I laughed when I read "midnight growth spurt".

Anyway. My DD is the same age and my wife still nurses at night. Our on-the-go food is similar to what you have there: cheerios, goldfish, similar things.

So far DD hasn't had a midnight growth spurt but the best diaper bag snack for us is a fruit pouch,yogurt, crackers or cheerios.

Well, the midnight growth spurt is normally breastmilk - if he's not "awake." Last night, DS woke up (fully awake!) at 3 am saying he was "hun-gee" asking for goldfish!

On the go snacks are the same as others, plus Babybel cheese or string cheese.

when the dry nursing got to be insane cause she'd wiped me out during a growth spurt, we'd do cheerios or avocado.
but we also do steamed veg. i know it sounds weird, but dd will eat cold steamed carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus as a snack on the go or before bed.

1. he normally asks for crackers with butter on them. he´s 4 and doesn´t bf anymore, so he can get a glass of rice milk or cow milk, what he chooses.
2. fruit, bread sticks, bread with something spread on it, anything really!
