My almost 3yr old is eating up a storm like you would not believe. At first I thought it was a growth spurt, now I'm getting worried.
DH & I are both large. Me more so, I'm super huge (no seriously). My mum had me on diets from very young, and look where it got me (super huge). So I try not to limit what the kids eat - within reason. I mean I'm not supplying them with a limitless supply of chippies, but if they ask for 2nds (etc) they get it. After mains it's fruit and if they aren't hungry enough for whatever I'm offering (orange/banana/etc), it's over. In the last month DS1 is getting through huge amounts of food. Breakfast is now up to 2 weetbix + 2 toast. Dinner feels never ending. The amount of time he's standing in front of the cupboard saying 'food's in there' and saying 'I'm hungry mummy' you wouldn't believe. I work full time, and the odd thing is daycare says he's eating less there. So, do I keep feeding him or cut him off? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

So long as the food is healthy options feed him.
On that note, has he been wormed? |
