I have a 13 month old daughter i have on a schedule to where she eats between 7 and 8 for breakfast and between 1030 and 1130 for lunch then goes for her nap, But i am told i am in the wrong for doing that, that when she shows she is hungry and tired i need to feed her and give her a nap not wait till her scheduled time. What should i do and am i in the wrong?
There are no strict food timings in a child of this age. However, you should feed her frequently. Sleeping is a natural phenomenon and kids do and should sleep more than adults. Give her meals at least 4 to 5 times a day and again more if she is hungry. This will enhance her growth.
