Why does he always want something to eat?

Question

To someone that doesn't know my child they would think he is starving by the way he acts. He is always asking for something to eat. Sometimes I will give him a snack in between meals and he will still have a huge meal. Other times I won't give him anything and he won't eat his meal at all. Does anyone else's children do this? It is very exsaperating!

Answer 1

My daughter is almost 2 and she does the same thing, the doctor said it is a phase and to feed her a healthy well balanced snacks and meals and it would be fine.  My doctor told me that kids will eat and eat and eat at times and then at other times eat nothing. Hope that helps.
