My pediatrician says that my 13 month old should be eating every 2 hours, alternating between a solid meal and a snak/milk. What do you think about that? Is that you experience??? Thanks for your comments

My DD3 probably does but not necessarily because she needs to but because the timing of her bottle and our meals (she eats with us) just makes it that way. Plus she loves food!

I wouldn't have thought every 2 hrs but they do eat quite frequently for example
7.00 WU milk
8.00 breakfast
11.00 snack
12.00 lunch
3.00 snack
5.00 dinner
7.00 BT milk
I had cut the BT milk at 12 months but replaced it with a supper snack with a sippy of milk at 5.30/ 6.00pm. It's a lot of meals and snacks in a day as they do still have small tummies and need the calories but there were a couple of 3hr gaps in our day without food/snack.
Going to move you over to eating for toddlers as your LO is now over 1yo :)

Yeah I'd say at 1 yo both mine had 3 milk feeds and 3 meals and prob a snack. Not every two hours though as they were both on one nap and slept at least 2 hours!!
