Habit or growth spurt?

Last....3 nights LO has woken up in the middle of the night asking for food.

He eats before bed, I make sure he's fed.
After about 3-4 hours of sleeping he wakes up like he is starving. He will eat something like a PB&J and a cup of milk. Or a bowl of cereal. I've been far too tired to actually make him something.
After that he goes back to sleep and wakes up at his normal time. He's been eating a lot of food lately.
Also, he is almost 22 months old

I don't want this to turn into a habit

Growth spurt.
Increasing his omega 3 intake could help aswel as his protein before bed. Omega 3 especially because this is when they have the vocab explosion and cognitive spurts and they often bf or eat more to get the nutrients conducive to brain growth.

As in fish? I will keep this in mind.

Yup, i give DS this


He had a lot of growth spurts from just before 2 till 3 yrs, he went from being small for his age to big and he had a couple of phases where he had to eat more before bed/at night.

Oh, cool. I'm going to try and order some as soon as SO comes home.
What else kind of vitamins do you give LO? I wanted to start him on Flinstones, but I had always thought he was too little

Just those ones mainly, they are from age 3 so i gave him half the dose starting from age 2.

Sometimes i give him probiotics from Biocare. In winter i give him Vit D3 and if he's starting to get sick or if we've been around any sickness then i give him sodium/magnesium Ascorbate for a few days.
