| how many times a day do you feed your baby? Just curious how often / how many times a day you feed your baby? Since we got Charley she only wants to eat once a day. Is that too little? I try and she just won't eat! She eats about 1/2 cup of wellness. Well that was only yesturday! LOL>.. but the bag says 1/2 cup is okay for her size! Always worry'n over here! Michelle |

| Lola eats twice a day with many treats during the day. You could try leaving kibble out all day and see if she snacks on that during the day. Trust me they will eat if their hungrey, you dont need to worry

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Many dogs only like to eat once a day, with smaller breeds, people worry more about hypoglycemia; they can use up energy reserves so quickly. and experience low blood sugar. Joey's breeder recommended free feeding till the age of 8 months to prevent this. Another thing, if you are gone all day, many dogs won't eat until their master has returned. Joey eats twice a day, and always need a little bedtime snack.

| Well, basically Jackson eats twice a day. I feed him his breakfast in the morning (usually every other morning, its mixed in with wet food as a treat) and then once he finishes that up, I fill up his bowl with dry food to leave out for the rest of the day. He doesn't usually touch it until later.. 6:30pm-ish when he goes over and chows down.

| J.D. is offered a small amount of food in morning, a couple tiny biscuits too, then he doesn't eat till I fix dinner, after I've finished, I take his plate up. Seems to work, and what I did for my other Yorkies as well.

| Sasha eats twice a day... Once when I finish my shower in the morning (5:45ish) and then again when I get home in the evening(5:30ish)... If I know I am going to be out longer than that then I will give an extra scoop right before I leave for work... On the weekend she only gets food laid down once. I am home all day so she can ask to go out when she needs to. |

| I feed Sasha twice a day. She never used to eat anything in the morning and would go all afternoon without eating, sometimes not eating her kibble until 9 at night! I knew that wasn't too healthy. Now she gets 2 NV raw medallions in the morning which she eats no problem and 1/4 cup of NV Prairie kibble in the afternoon which I leave down for her to eat as she pleases. Sometimes she finishes it all and other times she doesn't. I'm just glad that she eats in the morning now. |

| How old is Charley? A puppy should eat more frequently...
