Lately, Mom asks for her lunch right after breakfast. No I don't give it to her that early, but a half hour after lunch, she asks for it all over again. Then she will argue that she hasn't had anything to eat. I give her snacks to quiet her down, but worry about overfeeding her.
His tablets are in a device that opens up each morning allowing him only to take them once a day, thank goodness for that as he would be over dosing.
Has anyone else had the same problem.
My mom loves breakfast so I would let her have another bowl of Cheerios - her cholesterol is better than mine
She's always hungry, though she eats nice meals and 2 snacks per day. She's still very thin, though not underweight.
I would be aware of your mom weight and whether she gains weight easy,, since that can have negative side effects and effect their comfort level, but if she's not obese, I'd provide nutritious food whenever she asks, within reason.
Dementia patients have so little in the way of control and pleasure. I like to cooperate with her requests as long as it's not to her detriment.
