A member asked:

My 2 year old daughter can have 3 meals conservatively and now she wakes us up during the night to eat. is that normal after fitting in grommets ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Catch up feeds: I see no reason to establish a nighttime feeding routine for any 2 yo. However, this can represent some catch up feeding/growth after a period of chronic illness slowed the process. I would increase the kids access to day feeds and or snacks and tell them nighttime if for sleeping.
