My son is 14 months old and it seems to me like he's eating all day. we've fallen into the trap of giving him a snack if he doesn't want to sit in his car seat or in the buggy sometimes. this might happen once a day and i know it isn't good so going to stop today.
he eats loads but at the same time he runs around ALL day and is a content toddler. we go out atleast twice a day and he gets to run around the park or just walk next to me whereever we're going.
so this is what he eats on a normal day:
6.30 breastfeed (my milk is like cream at this stage and he'll feed for about half an hour)
7 am brekky. porridge with fruit, piece of toast with pate. (this is the same amount that i eat)
10 am fruit and maybe a natural yogurt with banana in it
12 lunch. 1-2 slices of whole meal bread with cheese or meat, some fruit, milk.
3 pm slice of toast and fruit or yoghurt
5 pm dinner. he eats a small bowl of whatever we're having. i try to cook healthy foods and only use whole meal products and brown rice.
7 pm breastfeed
in between these meals he'll usually have some cheerios to snack on or some rich tea biscuits.
sorry about the length of this question. i appreciate if you're still reading.
so in your opinion is he eating too much? he was never a small baby and he's always been a hungry one. he's also stocky and very strong. i have pictures if that will help?
thanks. very confused here...
